This webinar is based on from Fiona’s highly acclaimed presentation at the 2016 RCSA Conference in Port Douglas.
Here’s what they said:
Bernadette Eichner @RecruitLooper

#RCSAConf @FionaAnson surely this is the best presentation of the conference
Predictions of a project-based workforce, trends to “boomerang” staffing and jobs being replaced by technology are all coming to fruition but there are many more trends in the workforce that aren’t being discussed.
Knowing, in advance, where the workforce is heading will be imperative for Recruiters. It will also allow them to better service the needs of their clients by having pre-qualified candidates on tap.
Until now, Recruiters have been in the business of supplying demand, which is why candidate sourcing has been such a crucial part of the Recruiter’s job. But this just-in-time method of finding and placing candidates is getting well past its use-by date.
Technology now allows us to map, in real time, skills, job and demand in any location in Australia as well as mapping the movement trends of these. It also allows analytics around skills gap “hot spots” by location, which provides further opportunity for Recruiters.
Further, that same technology allows us to “see” into what industries are growing – or shrinking – and what changes in the specific jobs and skills required are, and therefore what skills, both hard and soft, will your candidates need to be successful.
For a Recruiter, knowing these trends can help you predict the demands of your clients for specific roles or skills.
Successful Recruiters in the next decade will harness the availability of this information to build businesses that are less about “answering the call” and more about predicting and preparing for client need which automatically enables them to have the ability to fulfill those needs quickly and efficiently.
