In the hiring and recruitment process, finding time to manage all these employment activities with ease is challenging enough. Adding all the stresses of working from home, managing remote teams, and finding new ways to keep staff engaged compounds this all too familiar juggling act.

According to a recent study conducted by XpertHR, an online HR resource that, in September of 2020 surveyed 563 employers in the US and found that Recruiting and Hiring in 2021 is the greatest workplace challenge. Additionally, the survey found that of the 563 employers polled, nearly half of respondents stated that they plan to increase their workforce in 2021.

“Employers don’t want to miss out on the potential recovery in 2021…and recruiting and hiring efforts will be key for attracting talent and ramping up operations.” Andrew Hellwege, XpertHR.

As talent acquisition is increasingly more complex due to Covid-19, attracting new talent is seen as the most difficult issue to navigate. Along with hiring a diverse workforce, managing virtual recruiting, and onboarding and dealing with a high volume of applicants; challenges such as these can put an HR department under enormous pressure.

As these pressures mound, HR departments are searching for solutions to assist with these hiring practices. Many organizations are turning hiring platforms such as Paycom, Paylocity, and ADP to merge these functions all in one place. While these platforms offer robust functionality, they may offer exactly what you need or maybe even cost-prohibitive.
