Posted: Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 3:45 AM CDT

London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 06/23/2022 --Sector coverage is broad and includes a wide range of areas, from private equity, hedge funds, investment banking and retail financial services to healthcare and pharma, professional services, telecoms and technology. As we move into the second quarter of 2022, there are a number of key trends to watch. Proactively engaging candidates early is key among these hiring trends - this is often where headhunting recruitment research can be incredibly useful. Proactive engagement strategies mean first contact comes from the business, which is seeking to start building a relationship with a potential employee as early as possible. Advanced screening tools also represent another recruitment trend for 2022. These are skills tests and behavioural assessments that add so much more insight than simple CV screening and interviews. Offering remote work as a tactic to attract candidates is another powerful hiring trend this year, as is more data-centric recruiting that prioritises data analysis and insights when it comes to candidate selection. Finally, one of the biggest recruitment and hiring trends for 2022 is the increased emphasis on diversity and inclusion, not just as a way to improve the effectiveness of a workforce but as a beacon to attract new candidates too.

The trend towards an increased focus on greater use of data analytics and insights is something that is very relevant to headhunting recruitment research - and many of the key areas of Leathwaite's expertise.
