The whispers in the Indian market are that the staffing & recruitment in India is expected to grow more significantly by upcoming years.

Recently, Indian Staffing Federation (ISF), The top body of flexible-staffing industry in India comprising of about 30 members from the staffing industry, organized a National Conclave on Staffing – ‘The future of Employment to energize the recognition of staffing as a choice of employment both by employers and society’.

India has been predicting to be among in the all largest staffing countries along with Brazil, China, and South Africa by the global staffing market. Staffing in India, like other developing countries, is at a very vital juncture as a large proportion of the workforce belongs to the unorganized sector having low or almost no social security. From current global experience, the demand for flexible staffing (for providing flexible solutions to both workers and employers) would increase predominantly in the coming years. In 2013, a modest growth rate was noted in the Indian Job market, owing to the increasing number of executive search firms and large-scale hiring by the public sector.

According to a report by Staffing Industry Analysts, the Indian staffing industry is estimated at Rs 26,650 crore, wherein flex (flexible) staffing accounts for 75% and is worth Rs 19,900 crore, permanent recruitment accounts for 12%  (worth Rs 3,250 crore) and other services 13 % (Rs 3,500 crore).

Nowadays the contract staffing increasing day-by-day.! The main reason for incessant contract staffing is to reduce risk factors and as a strategy to extenuate the risk uncertainty associated with the inflow of projects. It is something to do with the way the companies do their project costing. In real Life, contract staffing is lavish than the regular staffing except that the overhead in expenditure is less & Also, most of the contract staffing is for short-term assignments. Generally, no company wants to have regular staff for their 100 %requirements, and go for contract staff for 30 – 40 % of the total capacity requirement. This trend will continue irrespective of the quality issue because no company will be completely sure of their project inflows. Hence, contract staffing will continue to flourish.

The rise of the social media platform is rapidly changing the rules of the recruitment game. Employee loyalty is on them degeneration, leading to growing talent attrition. This is also in part due to changing workforce demographics such as greater participation from a demanding millennial population. At the same time, unrestricted online marketing of jobs and ubiquitous connectivity have led to resume overload – recruiters are inundated with resumes, making it challenging to identify quality candidates. With more than 40% of all global employers reporting a shortage of talent, competition for human resources has become fierce – a situation further aggravated by the emergence of small and agile companies.

The result: Increased cost of hire without a corresponding increase in key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time-to-hire or quality of hire. It’s becoming increasingly clear to staffing organizations that they will need to move away from traditional decision-making models and adopt data-driven decision making to deliver greater value and efficiency.

Rapidly and creatively deploying innovative solutions leveraging next-gen technologies can help drive recruitment success in the new digital world.

• Sharpening market and candidate intelligence to identify and target top candidates.

To stay ahead, constantly look for ways to future-proof recruitment : 

As a purely information-driven function, recruitment is being impacted by digital disruption more than any other industry. Emerging technologies such as blockchain have the potential to further transform the industry. The candidate database, which has so far been a source of competitive advantage to staffing organizations, can come under threat as all essential information about candidates can be shared on a secure immutable blockchain network. This, in turn, can make candidate resumes redundant and disintermediate the entire value chain! However, the situation would be better if blockchain and smart contract based autonomous recruitment systems are explored as new revenue streams. It’s time to reinvent business models and make these technologies the engines of future growth and success.
