Two Key Workforce Trends Are Combining to Create Massive Opportunities for Contract Recruiters. Now’s Your Chance to Seize Them.

As the first anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic approaches, we’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccine rollouts are underway across the country and worldwide; a return to normalcy is within reach.

But as the world opens back up, the pandemic’s legacy will linger. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, for contract recruiters, it’s shaping up to be great.

When the pandemic disrupted the world of work, it also hit the gas on two key hiring trends. We’re now seeing those trends converge, creating massive opportunities for contract recruiters. We’re witnessing that firsthand here at Recruiter.com. Employers are leveraging Recruiter.com On Demand — our flexible, monthly, on-demand recruiting solution — at dramatically increased rates.

Virtual Hiring + Gig Work = A Goldmine for On-Demand Recruiters

The arrival of the pandemic accelerated two hiring trends that were already in place: virtual hiring and gig work.

When lockdowns forced companies to go remote, they had to adapt all their business processes for the virtual work world, including hiring. Soon, companies found virtual hiring to be more of a boon than a curse. Employers could now tap a broader pool of talent regardless of location, and virtual interviews are often easier — and cheaper — to schedule and conduct. Now, 70 percent of talent professionals report they’re sticking with virtual hiring even once the pandemic has ended.

At the same time, companies have had to look for creative ways to keep costs down while maintaining key functions. Enter the gig economy. Gig and contract work arrangements were already growing before COVID-19 arrived, but the pandemic spurred a 40 percent increase in freelance job postings between the second quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2020. In gig and contract workers, organizations have found a way to get critical work done without hiring full-time employees when it wouldn’t make sense to do so.

Which brings us to on-demand recruiting. Companies are finding it easier than ever to incorporate on-demand recruiters into their hiring processes. The virtualization of recruiting means they don’t have to worry about where recruiters are located, and hiring contract recruiters on a per-project basis is a great way to tap recruitment expertise without breaking the bank.
