In 2023, we will continue to see a switch from reactive to proactive recruitment, with HR employing key strategies to locate talent before demand to fill a position becomes critical. Competitive Compensation and Benefits Recruiters must 

understand that offering attractive compensation and benefits packages will make a company significantly more competitive in the current market. Creating Candidate Pools As more recruiters report they’re actively searching for candidates with valuable talent 

and skills, they’ll create pools of potential applicants prior to jobs availability. This way, when jobs open up, the proactive recruiter can be the first to reach out and secure a candidate. Social Media In the past decade, proactive recruiters have turned to social media 

to discover and monitor potential candidates. Social media can also be used as a tool by human resource professionals to emphasize employer branding and values.

Turnover rates are on the rise, and many human resources departments are taking a more proactive approach to developing and applying strategies to increase talent retention. Meaningful Raises and Employee Recognition Programs Today’s workforce wants to feel both

appreciated and adequately compensated for the time, work and effort they put into a company. Openly recognizing employee accomplishments is another great way to show your team its work is valued, but it won’t remotely compare to money in your workers’ pockets.  

Creating Diverse and Inclusive Environments Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) initiatives and values are a critical component for companies that want to keep up a productive and positive workplace culture.   Internal Recruitment Through Upskilling

and Reskilling, Learning Opportunities and Career Development Providing employees with education and opportunities for career development and upward mobility is also a great way to increase engagement and retention.

Adopting the use of ATS software and digital tools can help save valuable time and effort in the recruitment process, help recruiters locate talent they might otherwise have missed, keep potential candidates and applicants more engaged throughout the hiring process and help human 

resource professionals make more informed choices when interviewing and hiring candidates.
