4 ways the role of recruiting will change

Recruiting will be mission-critical.

Your metrics will track outcomes, not just actions.

Tech tools will unleash your team's potential.

These three skills will redefine recruiting.

Prediction 1

Recruiting will be mission critical.

Business leaders will rely on you.


As automation takes over the most repetitive tasks, every job is growing more creative and complex. This magnifies the upside of hiring the right talent—and the downside of the wrong fit.

That’s why recruiting grows more important every day and why the market for recruiters has never been hotter.

Competition for top talent has gotten fiercer, so recruiting has taken on a new urgency."

John Vlastelica
Managing Director at Recruiting Toolbox

Key takeaway

Start capacity planning

Take stock to see if you'll need to bring on more recruiters to meet future hiring needs. Talk to other departments, align with leaders, and analyze past performance to project your path forward.

Prediction 2

Your metrics will track outcomes, not just actions.

Business results count for more.


Time to hire is a popular metric for a reason: it’s easy to track and can help set expectations. But it only describes how fast your recruiters hired, not how well. 

The future of recruiting will revolve around more strategic metrics that measure long-term business outcomes, like quality of hire.

The fastest hire isn’t the best hire, and the cheapest hire isn’t the best hire. It’s all about the result—the business impact.”

Ross Baron
Head of Recruiting for Western Europe at TikTok

Key takeaway

Learn how to calculate quality of hire.

Partner with key stakeholders to clearly define what "quality" means. Learn the three most effective inputs used to calculate quality of hire.

Prediction 3

Tech tools will unleash your team's potential.

Technology will upgrade your team.


Over two-thirds of all recruiting professionals agree that the best way to improve performance over the next five years is to invest in new recruiting technology. 

While tech tools hold great promise, many recruiting teams also feel overwhelmed by too many fragmented platforms that don’t work well together.

Developing an agile, modern, integrated recruiting technology stack is now a top criteria for success.”

Josh Bersin
Founder and dean at Josh Bersin Academy

Key takeaway

Lead successful tech implementations.

If you want the rollout of your latest tech to go smoothly, involve your end users as early and often as possible.

Prediction 4

Three skills will redefine recruiting.

Recruiting is evolving.


Recruiters will be called on to do more: to engage passive candidates inundated by offers, to transform talent data into actionable insights, and to advise business leaders instead of just following orders.

Historically, recruiters have been creatures of habit. That’s helped them succeed at tasks like filling reqs, but it’s not what will elevate them in the future. The best recruiters will be curious and adaptable, with a learning mindset.”

Amy Schultz 
Director of Talent Acquisition at LinkedIn

Key takeaway

Customize recruiter training

Your standard learning and development (L&D) resources might not be able to go into as much depth as you need. Instead, construct your own training with L&D’s help.

Lead your team into the future.
