This also gives relevant insights on which recruiter filled how many positions of a client. Curbing the Common ChallengesThe trends in recruitment are continu-ally changing in the staffing industry because the employers prefer hiring the employees having sound knowl-edge of technology apart from their core skill set. As AI, Blockchain, Ma-chine Learning will be transforming the workplaces like never before, the employees should be able to adapt to the changing work culture and work-place. The technology has a big role to play in the globalized employment market enabling the candidates to search for opportunities in continents far away from anyone. At the time of hiring, candidates often pose a fraud identity or skills and so the recruiters have to be very alert to avoid placing con candidates. Because justification and account-ability is the duty of the recruiters, staffing firms have started using blockchain technology. The qualifi-cations, certifications, and past work record of a job applicant can be veri-fied and authenticated using a distrib-uted blockchain ledger. Blockchain platforms and software ensures the accuracy, transparent, and seamless workflow between the parties. Once the encrypted information is fed to the blockchain platform, it cannot be al-tered. The candidates today are using the blockchain for accrediting their career history and having it trusted by the employers whereas the employers use it for background verification re-ducing time and costs to source and recruit talent. A Convenient Way to Interview Working remotely and telecommuting is the new trend in the staffing indus-try as the global talents are less likely to pay a visit to the office in another country for the first or second round of interview. For this, interviewing over video chat or conferencing is the first choice of recruiters to evaluate the behavior of the candidates. How-ever, recruiting firms are now shifting to online assessments and predictive hiring tools to precisely examine a candidate's abilities, traits, skills, and competence. Online assessment tools are more accurate and less expensive than face-to-face interviews in the age of globalization. Again, such assess-ment tools can also be integrated with the ATS management tools in order to simplify the recruitment process. Once the online assessment is passed by the candidate, he can then move to his workplace. This saves time and money for both employers & candi-dates, as well as the recruitment firms. Improving Experiences Heavy investments are being made into the staffing software technol-ogy from the last few years in order to devise effective talent-oriented solutions. The recruitment firms are focusing on improving the talent ac-quisition experience for their clients by incorporating new tools into their business process. The volatility in the global marketplace has made it a high time for the staffing companies to pon-der on their technological value prop-ositions for both the businesses and the job seekers.
