Recruitment 2020
How recruitment is changing and why it matters
Intermediaries have become hugely important to us. They mediate many of our personal and professional relationships, providing us with new opportunities, guiding and shaping our choices. Advisers, experts and brokers tell us where to shop, who to do business with – and who to hire.
This pamphlet explores the future of one of the most important intermediaries in our everyday lives: the recruitment industry. Drawing on nine months of research, Recruitment 2020 argues that recruitment is caught up in some of the key public policy issues of our time – business success, job satisfaction, equality, integration and privacy. Through analysis of a series of sweeping trends, it predicts that recruitment practices and business models will change immeasurably over the coming years. It tells a story of the wide-scale change that we expect to see through the market – principally the drive to a more personalised approach – and explores the social challenges that go beyond what the market can deliver alone.
The pamphlet concludes with a series of recommendations designed to help both the recruitment industry and wider society prepare for the challenges of the future. In doing so, the pamphlet is relevant to policymakers but also to anyone involved in either seeking or offering a job in the future.

This is a really interesting piece of research. One of our clients blogged on the likelyhood of a more personalised approach at a volume recruitment level ( http://www.ahselection.com/blog/index.php/2007/07/02/recuitment_in_2020_a_personalised_approa ) and how that might work, and whether candidates looking for a 'job' (as opposed to a 'career') will respond to this envisaged more personalised apporach. Any thoughts?
