Rival, in partnership with Lighthouse Research, surveyed over 2,400 organizations to understand HR’s evolving role, how they overcome obstacles, and their growing position within the C-suite.
Key research findings:
- Employee onboarding is the #1 strategic priority over the next 12-18 months. Increased hiring, increased turnover and increased mobility/work reassignments are influencing factors.
- A proactive posture on HR agility and preparedness is paramount. One out of three companies unexpectedly needed to hire additional staff over the past year, with more than half of employers requiring more than three months to align people, technology and processes to meet a new business objective.
- Recruitment’s primary toolset needs a makeover. More than 60% of employers say their applicant tracking system (ATS) is either painful or primarily administrative; a mere 27% view their ATS as strategic despite the leading role it plays in the hiring process.
