Winning the Talent War with Recruitment Technology

The battle to secure talent poses a real threat to businesses, regardless of size or industry. In the 2022 iCIMS Workforce Report, 92% of C-suite leaders said that without the right talent, they would fail to achieve their goals. The Great Resignation, which many saw as a temporary post-pandemic trend, has already had a negative impact of more than 80%.

The past two years have seen many people rethink their lifestyle and career choices, while those who delayed their job change plans due to economic uncertainty are now doing so in mass. In a fiercely competitive marketplace, many employers are using recruiting technology to bring top talent to the frontlines.

Managing Global Talent

In today's global business environment, top talent is unlikely to be based within 10 miles of a business location. The Omnipresent recruitment platform makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to hire top talent from 160 countries, expanding the talent pool and helping them grow.

The platform was founded by Matt Wilson and Guenther Eisinger, entrepreneurs who share the belief that the priority should be to grow a business and access the world's best talent, not to focus on the necessary administration to make this possible.

Omnipresent takes care of payroll, benefits, compliance, tax, and administrative work and automates repetitive manual tasks, such as drafting local employment contracts, payroll calculations, and deposits.

Managers can view the operations and data of all international and remote employees in one place and employees can use the platform to manage all aspects of their employment relationship, from onboarding to departure, benefits to expenses. It also acts as the employer of record for employees worldwide to minimize the complexities and costs associated with hiring someone globally.

Hidden talent pools

One of the biggest challenges for companies recruiting is gaining access to untapped talent pools, including veterans and refugees. WithYouWithMe is a social impact business that fills this talent gap by helping these underrepresented groups access the job market and fill the chronic lack of tech skills.

Founded by military veteran Tom Moore to address the digital skills shortage, the company has two main offerings. The first, 'Squads', deploys new talent into the job market after a 16-week 'incubation' period during which they learn basic skills and competencies. It offers 36 career paths, including data analytics and cybersecurity, leading to certification from organizations such as GCHQ. The second, a SaaS offering, helps large companies free up internal talent, reducing their recruitment costs by up to 90%.

WithYouWithMe incorporates an AI platform that uses psychometric and aptitude testing to identify individuals with the optimal characteristics for various digital roles. It has helped over 20,000 marginalized people enter or re-enter the labor market by linking them to life skills rather than their CV.

Flexibility from the start

The opportunities for flexible working practices can be a deciding factor for job candidates during the recruitment process. Founded in 2020,
