In this podcast episode, Charlotte Melkert (CEO at Equalture) talks to Matthias Schmeisser, Global Senior Director, Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding at emnify about how to leverage key trends in the midst of demographic shift and digital transformation shaping the recruitment landscape in 2024, emphasising the importance of Candidate Experience [Attracting and Engaging Top Talent] and Skill-based Hiring [Data-driven recruitment and assessment of candidates].

In the conversation, Matthias Schmeisser explains that candidate experience and skill based hiring are intricately linked: If a recruitment process is perceived as fair by providing the candidate with a clear understanding of why an assessment is in place at the top of the funnel, candidate experience increases. In order to leverage both trends, recruitment teams are required to shift their mindset towards making the recruitment process a learning opportunity for candidates and recruiters alike. How to get started? Master your basics! By placing importance on the job intake meetings, learning from hiring managers about their top performers, skill gaps in the team and requirements, you set the foundation for both a great candidate experience and skill-based hiring matrices.
