Welcome to your HRD Connect update!

HR recruitment trends in 2018

As candidates expect more from their working lives such as the right to flexible working, it becomes a key consideration when job hunting. We look into key trends that are emerging and pinpoint which ones need to be adopted within your organisation to secure key talent. We hear from Natalie Limerick, Director at Morgan McKinley who reports on her personal experience of the recruitment market, she gives her insights into what jobs in the HR space are evolving and what skill-sets are being prioritised.

Artificial intelligence versus regulation

As we stand on the threshold of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the landscape ahead includes developments in areas such as blockchain, internet of things, and nanotechnology. These developments are taking place at a faster rate than many of us are able to keep up with. However, what do these advancements look like, and what are the legal issues that surround these?

Creative talent acquisitions solutions

From the use of AI for candidate vetting to more inventive onboarding, companies are being forced to change the way they treat the talent acquisition process. Those who show the most imagination are set to win out in the long run, who are these companies?
