Gone are the days when talent acquisition meant simply filling vacancies. Today’s landscape demands a more nuanced, strategic approach. At Acquire, we’re seeing several key recruitment trends reshaping how organisations attract and retain talent.
Strategic Talent Planning
Economic uncertainty and widening skills gaps mean organisations must think strategically about talent acquisition. We help businesses determine whether upskilling existing staff, internal mobility, or external recruitment best serves their needs.
AI and Automation
While 90% of senior employees use generative AI, most workers lack confidence in using these tools effectively. We’re helping organisations bridge this gap, identifying candidates with crucial AI capabilities while using automation to streamline recruitment processes.
Remote Work Evolution
With 39% of employees willing to leave if forced back to full-time office work, flexible working is no longer optional. We support clients in developing remote work policies that attract top talent while maintaining strong company culture.
Internal Mobility Focus
Two-thirds of employees would leave without internal growth opportunities—rising to 75% for Gen Z workers. We help organisations showcase their commitment to career development, making it central to their talent strategy.
Inclusive Hiring
Nearly half of CEOs struggle with building inclusive workforces. Our approach focuses on skills-based assessment rather than traditional metrics, helping organisations build truly diverse teams through objective evaluation criteria.
Data-Driven Decisions
Modern recruitment requires precise decision-making about internal development versus external hiring. Our expertise helps organisations make informed choices based on skills mapping and workforce planning data.
Looking Forward
Successful talent acquisition now requires balancing technological innovation with human insight. At Acquire, we combine cutting-edge tools with deep recruitment expertise to help organisations build future-ready teams.
