letter, a notice, an application, or anything
else, its all gone digital now. How often do you
walk? Whether it is to make a purchase, whether
it is to meet a person, whether it is to order
something, or anything else, youd either prefer
the phone or any other digital way to connect.
Similarly, in all phases of life, things have
changed and gone all so digital thanks to the
significant advance in technology, which helps us
to speak to someone, send a message across,
order something online, visit a store, everything
all in one small device our smartphone.
Workplaces are also not the same anymore. Amidst
the Covid-19 pandemic, Work From Home is the new
normal, which is again effective because of the
technology that helps us to connect. When
technology has affected almost every aspect of
business and life, why not talent acquisition?
Talent acquisition is one of the biggest concerns
for every organization and technology can
highly impact it in ways more than one. Big data

Big data provides a bigger data influx and helps
with predictions, analysis, and patterns that
can make talent acquisition easier by giving
recruiters a clearer picture of the candidates.
With big data, recruiters can cater to the needs
of the employees by closely monitoring them and
calculating their future success using existing
analytical data. Bigger the data, lesser the
chances of error for acquiring new talent.
Thats because such data can be used to make
informed hiring decisions and lay down
error-free strategies. Mobile apps There are a
variety of mobile apps being made every day. One
being made for talent acquisition can be very
useful. An official mobile application for an
organization can make things very easy and many
organizations are in fact taking advantage of
this technological advancement too, which is
helping them save a lot of money, time, and
effort. Social recruiting Social recruiting has
redefined the ways of talent acquisition, and has
been widely used by recruiters worldwide to
attract the right talent to their organization.
Social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn,
and Instagram are now used to search for
potential candidates, find a good match to fill
the skill gap, establish a connection, and
inspire them to apply for the open positions in
an organization. Such social media platforms
bring to the forefront a broader and deeper sea
of candidates. There are lots of choices and
options to choose from, a significantly bigger
talent pool than what you would see at a job site
or elsewhere. All kinds of active and passive
kind of candidates can be viewed here, as there
are not only unemployed people, but also those
who are already working elsewhere, but are
looking for a job change. Direct sourcing Direct
sourcing platforms help look past job boards and
other media ads, giving a lot of data about
talent pool that are pre-screened. These
platforms also provide quality referral as an
added advantage. Also, being integrated with
databases of local talent communities, different
minority associations, and diversity job boards,
direct sourcing platforms also provide diverse
candidate outreach for referral campaigns. Cloud
