Digitisation is causing recruitment to change direction, as traditional resume writing and face-to-face interview methods are no longer enough.<\/p>\n

With the number of worldwide internet users hitting the 3 billion mark during 2014 \u2013 of which 72% are active participants on social media \u2013 employers need to begin reaching out to these digital natives.<\/p>\n

Online job site and video interviewing service, Foosle.com, has found four digital trends that are set to completely change recruitment methods for graduate employers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Social media job seekers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Millennial job seekers are now using social media platforms as their first point of call when looking for a graduate role. Foosle.com found that 76% of these \u201csocial job seekers\u201d found their latest role through Facebook.<\/p>\n

    Similarly, 73% of the millennial generation use their mobile phone to view job vacancies.<\/p>\n

    The research also found that 93% of employers check their candidate\u2019s social media profiles before interviewing them, while a further 42% have reconsidered a graduate based on their social media profile.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Video interviewing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Video interviewing is set to be the largest leap employers will take this year, with this method already popular in the USA.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Digital applications<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Recently, a number of firms have required that all job applications must be \u201ccreative\u201d. In fact, there have been stories in the press of a number of businesses only receiving job applications via the infamous short video platform Snapchat \u2013 giving a graduate just 10 seconds to impress.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Video job posts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In line with video interviewing, job adverts are now being posted via a video in a bid to personalize the job ad and bringing the role to life for the applicant.<\/p>\n
