Like many in the recruiting space, we were excited to see the results of LinkedIn’s Global Staffing Trends 2017 report. In this post we look at some of the key insights from the report, and offer our reactions.

2. Social recruiting, candidate screening and candidate
automation are the trends defining the future of
recruiting.
● Using freelance technical interviewers could help with expanding
diversity and inclusion initiatives.
● As companies look to increase candidate diversity, they may need
assistance in screening in other languages and time zones.
● While automation has value, the human factor is needed to delve
into candidate's technical experience.

3. Staffing firms (68%) expect to grow in 2017, with 79%
expecting an increase in the volume of candidates
placed.
● With 83% of staffing firms saying their average time to place is
less than three months, recruiters need to figure out how to screen
and place candidates faster to maintain that speed.

4. IT and engineering roles are the top two priorities to
place for clients.
● Recruiters can’t forget about maintaining candidate quality.
● You need to be sourcing broadly to deliver enough talent.

5. Client retention year over year and number of
candidates placed are the most important metrics for
measuring success.
● It all comes down to the fundamentals of meeting submission
deadlines and providing enough quality candidates to hiring
managers.
● A key concept here is increasing hiring managers’ “return on
interview.”
