As a candidate, you still have work to do, but several trends in the recruiting world will work in your favor. CareerXRoads recently listed two of the the three trends impacting Talent Acquisition as a heightened focus on relationships and candidate experience. Throughout my career, I've point to referrals and networking as key sources of candidates for employers. CareerXRoads shows that these are increasingly being used by companies. It is therefore important for a candidate to build a network that overlaps with his or her targeted companies. Candidate experience, like customer experience, has become more important over time. CareerXRoads has shown that "When recruiters are able to provide a candidate experience that is personalized, delivers or exceeds expectations and truly focuses on what the candidate needs, companies can make better hires." While this doesn't necessarily mean that getting hired will be easier, it should mean that getting into the running and communicating your strengths should be easier.
Candidates will still need to work at the job search process, network, research, and communicate effectively. But, these trends mean the process can be less frustrating and more effective than before.
