However, due to the changing nature of work, agencies are tackling some hurdles related to hiring, operations, and macroeconomics. Here are three of the biggest challenges facing agencies this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Recruiting Challenge #1: Combatting the Talent Shortage<\/b><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Talent-Shortage.png\" alt=\"recruiting challenges\" width=\"1482\" height=\"761\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Talent-Shortage.png 1482w, https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Talent-Shortage-768x394.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1482px) 100vw, 1482px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s no surprise that a skills deficit continues to plague the recruitment industry with 73 per cent of agencies citing it as one of their biggest areas of concern this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a tight labour market, how should agencies find the best talent for the best opportunities? One strategy recruiters are relying on is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grid.bullhorn.com\/uk\/spotlights\/reskilling-a-game-changing-opportunity-for-recruitmen-agencies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reskilling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; or updating workers\u2019 skills through education and training. Seventy-four per cent of recruitment agencies believe that reskilling workers represents an effective strategy to thwart the skills shortage and help create new talent pools, fill key roles, and transform lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Recruiting Challenge #2:\u00a0 <\/b><b>Embracing Digital Transformation<\/b><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-2019-03-06-14.00.57.png\" alt=\"digital transformation\" width=\"1454\" height=\"782\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-2019-03-06-14.00.57.png 1454w, https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-2019-03-06-14.00.57-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1454px) 100vw, 1454px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digitisation is one of the major themes of 2019, but it undoubtedly presents some barriers for agencies as they start adopting it as a strategic competitive advantage. Forty-nine per cent of recruitment professionals selected embracing digital transformation &#8211; defined as the integration of technology into all areas of their business for the purposes of improving operations and the way they deliver value to customers &#8211; as their top operational challenge. Why is this a top challenge? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s because agencies are trying to find the best ways to incorporate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grid.bullhorn.com\/uk\/insights\/machine-learning-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">automation and artificial intelligence technologies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into their recruiting strategies. While process automation is here to help firms alleviate administrative and low-level tasks, true artificial intelligence isn\u2019t here yet. After all, in relationship-driven businesses such as recruitment, only humans have the precise empathy to match and advance conversations that can yield stronger relationships with candidates and clients. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Recruiting Challenge #3: Getting Employers to Increase Pay<\/b><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Top-Hiring-Challenges.png\" alt=\"recruiting challenges\" width=\"1200\" height=\"627\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Top-Hiring-Challenges.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/Top-Hiring-Challenges-768x401.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In today\u2019s candidate-driven market, more people are quitting their jobs at rapid clips and minimum-wage rates are increasing to closely match cost-of-living hikes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does that mean for staffing firms? They might have to work with employers to increase compensation ranges for open roles, so they can attract the top talent. According to Bullhorn\u2019s research, 38 per cent of recruitment agencies believe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grid.bullhorn.com\/uk\/insights\/overcoming-the-obstacles-in-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">getting employers to accelerate pay increases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for workers is a top hiring challenge this year. Some agencies are reluctant to pay employees more because they simply don\u2019t have the budget or just don\u2019t want to in general. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While these three challenges are only a snapshot of a few barriers to mitigate in 2019, finding creative strategies for tackling these obstacles may be a key factor in reaching your goals for the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are some of the other challenges recruitment pros are tackling, and what are some of their top priorities to undertake this year?
