Almost two-thirds (61 per cent) of job candidates would opt for in-person interviews over digital recruitment methods, according to a recent survey – but the findings show technology can be beneficial for attracting talent.
The survey of 700 people found 10 per cent had used at least three technologies – such as social media and smartphone apps – in their job search in the last six months.
Since GDPR’s introduction in May, under the new rules, if a candidate is unhappy with any element of the recruitment process that involves no human intervention – for example, software which filters through CV's – they can legally request a person reviews their application instead.
Candidates also have the right to know if they will be subject to automated decision making during the application process.
Employers are being urged to be wary of using questions which prevent applications from proceeding, depending on the answer given to reduce the number of applicants eg - asking if somebody had been convicted of a criminal offence, which triggers a pop-up blocking them from completing the rest of the application if they answer “yes”.
Hays’ What People Want report, published earlier this year, found similar results. Almost seven out of 10 (69 per cent) respondents said they wanted someone they could contact during the recruitment process, while almost half (48 per cent) reported being deterred from a role because of a poor first impression of the organisation.
