Mckinsey Global Surveys 2021 A Year in Review
Mckinsey Global Surveys 2021 A Year in Review
This was the report caused me to ditch my policy of only including content with “2022” in the headline. McKinsey Global Surveys is a review of the year just gone but nevertheless has more than an eye towards what employees and employers have to do in 2022. Valuable report and a great benchmark for any TA / HR / L&D strategy you have this year - download it here

Glassdoor Workplace Trends 2022
Hard to avoid cliche when doing short term prediction posts, but this one from Glassdoor manages to include some unobvious themes to look out for 2022. Particularly resonant for me? ‘Workforce population expanding beyond the company boundary’. We ‘recruiters’ need to expand scope and change our name…

17 Actionable Content Marketing Tips for 2022
17 Actionable Content Marketing Tips for 2022
Start-of-the-year is great because smart vendors load up their best ideas into massive how-to guides like this. If you know nothing about content marketing, spending 10 minutes on this will get you to a level ahead of most pro’s. It’s early days but you’re unlikely to find a better all-in-one content marketing guide. Must read for anyone producing content on the Internet. Combine with the twitter calendar post above, and you’ll win the Internet for 2022.

The State of the Octoverse
The State of the Octoverse
Including this annual report from Github because I really need to get it into the larder. It’s essential a report on what 73 million software developers have been doing on their platform, and consequently, a great resource for tech recruiters to better understand the candidate population they are recruiting from. Also a decent conversation starter for candidate engagement.

Excellent compilation of automation statistics, put together in an interactive website which allows easy navigation to the parts most relevant to current needs. Lots for us here, including which sectors automation will have greatest impact and jobs for the future in light of automation. One of those resource posts which you bookmark for referencing to all year.

Of course vendors are going to produce forecasts which mirror their product roadmap - wouldn’t be much of a roadmap if they didn’t believe in it. Our buddies at Lever go heavy on ‘automated candidate nurturing (agree) and data driven recruitment (also agree). Worth a read.

Compensation in a remote first / remote friendly / remote only(?) world is going to be on the core challenges for HR in 2022. I pretty certain that two progressive movements of salary transparency + location agnosticism isn’t going to fly. Here are 10 companies who don’t agree though.

We are getting to the point where you can’t not ‘hire for tech’ even if you’re not a specialist tech recruiter. This report from Deloitte Insights, surveying CIO’s on what they thing are going to be ongoing trends in tech in 2022 is a high level, yet bedrock material for any recruiter hiring for these skills - download here

Bit of curates egg this one - the skeleton of a great research piece is here, especially with the work trends ➡️ ‘talent implication’ structure, but it could really have done with more depth of analysis. Still a a decent trends report with a recruiting (it’s from Korn Ferry) focus. Download it here

Retention might needs its own category as we can expect this to be one of the hard challenges for organisations in 2022. Particularly concerning is the implications of the research here by Qualtrics - it is women leaders who are most likely to leave. Accessible report, recommend you read it.

Future Consumer 2022
Some cool (and useful) consumer persona’s for us to think about in 2022. Are you a ‘radical optimist’ in a desynchronised society? I’d say I’m more of a cheerful pessimist but that’s only me 🤣. Easy 7 pager, worth reading especially if we want another angle to understand candidate / employee psychology.

“Technology has made it less risky to seek out new income streams—and many are going for it. This rise of a “me over we” mentality has profound implications for organisations in how they lead their employees, and how they nurture relationships with their consumer-creators”
One of the many insightful observations in this excellent annual report from Accenture-Fjord. Again mainly consumer focus but in the era of the ‘holistic human’ we cannot afford to think of people as just job candidates.

Fascinating exploration in the phenomenon of ‘lying flat’ - a euphemism for getting off the career track and re-orientating your life on other things aside from work. Personal stories from USA, Germany and China on the phenomenon, brainfood for us on how important a trend this may be for recruiting, retention and job design.
