What is the future of hiring?

A few weeks ago, I posted How Hiring Has Changed From 20 Years Ago. Lots of folks were curious and asked, What is the future of hiring? While the future is always uncertain, I have never been shy about making a few predictions.  

My 10 Predictions on the Future of Hiring

1. Candidate Marketing Automation: Job candidates online behaviors will be tracked and monitored for changing career interests and information will automatically be sent to their inbox about your company (content created by your team or provider of course).
2. Mobile Technology: It will be possible to complete 100% of the hiring process from a smart phone.
3. What phone?  All video, all recorded… for all steps in the hiring process.
4. Automated Referral Programs: The employee referral process will be easier and staff will seamlessly find future talent for the company.
5. Selling Passive Recruits: The hiring process will be a sales process for the passive job seeker.
6. No More Resumes: Resumes will no longer exist, your electronic business profile will become the standard!
7. Networks Still Matter: You will still find jobs by who you know and how well you network and maintain relationships.  Those that leverage digital solutions will do the best job of maintaining business relationships.
8. Hiring Managers: There will still be a need for Hiring Managers who will maintain their role in hiring process by determining technical fit for positions.
9. Nurture Talent: Functional roles like HR or Talent Acquisition will drive process for acquiring enough or the right talent through marketing processes that attract, nurture and close talent.
10. Talent Sharing: A transferable hiring clearance status will be developed across companies and institutions giving the person reciprocity to work for many different companies.
