Technology has become an essential ally for the search for talent in human resources management, according to the Randstad Talent Trends 2019 report. The hiring managers confirm this, and the investment in artificial intelligence, analytical or big data technologies is increasing.

According to the trends detected by Randstad in its report Talent Trends 2019, technology is an increasingly important ally for the management of human resources, as currently 96% of recruiters trust that technology improves the attraction, commitment and retention of talent. The level of confidence is increasing, since only three years ago, in 2016, it was 79%, 13 percentage points less.

Tools like chatbots based on artificial intelligence, recognition of facial expressions or question evaluation platforms are some of the tools that will be trending in search of talent, says the document of the HR firm.

In fact, during 2019, employers will substantially increase their investments in analytical technology tools that aim to attract and retain talent. 72% of them are already doing it, according to Randstad.

Another trend that is detected is the use of technological tools, such as big data or artificial intelligence, with the aim of ensuring that the recruitment process is carried out in the most equal and inclusive manner possible. During this process, the employer may be influenced by a subjective condition in an unconscious manner. With the appropriate technology, it is possible to avoid any discrimination based on race or gender, guaranteeing a fairer and more inclusive process. According to Randstad, 76% of employers carry out some type of diversity and inclusion strategy, and 37% use technology to avoid any discriminatory decision.

The importance of the data has also reached the human resources sector.
