Finding the Answer to Successful Hiring and Successful Employment

The hiring process is changing.
With rolling hiring and outbound recruiting becoming the norm, companies and talent connect in entirely new ways.
Companies design the “applicant experience,” and applicants design their “career journey.”
Companies need to understand the evolving rules of hiring, from rolling recruitment to AI-based selection and candidate experience design, to attract talent and secure a job.
This book provides a three-dimensional explanation of what kind of talent companies seek, how they hire, and what kind of experiences they design in the AI ​​era.
This is a practical guide for HR professionals who must first identify the waves of change at the forefront of recruitment, and for job seekers who must strategically prepare for their opportunities at the doorstep of recruitment.

Changing Recruitment Rules: From Regular Recruitment to Rolling Recruitment

The era of regular recruitment twice a year, as in the past, is over.
Companies are now transitioning to a rolling hiring system that "immediately recruits the right talent, for the right job, at the right time."
This book provides practical guidance on why companies no longer conduct regular recruitment, the new rules created by rolling recruitment, and the strategies job seekers should develop amidst this shift.
In particular, the author emphasizes, “In this era of rolling recruitment, job seekers must also operate as a brand.”
It's no longer a simple process of "submitting an application after graduation," but rather a constant search for opportunities and updating your skills and experience that is key to competitiveness.

The Changing Ideals of Talent: Experience Over Specs, Competence Over Age

The standards that companies look for in talent have fundamentally changed.
This book explains this as 'career expansion' and presents the ideal talent for an era where the distinction between 'newcomers' and 'experienced' is no longer simple.
The author says, “What companies want is not a complete talent, but a learning talent who grows through experience.”
Rather than the 'spec-centered selection' of the past, the evaluation is now shifting to focus on experience solving problems in actual work, responsibility demonstrated in relationships with the organization, and agility to learn about change.
It provides insightful insights into the changing labor market trends, such as "Junior talents rising in place of new hires," "Senior talents recognized for their abilities, not their age," and "Boomerang talents who re-enter the workforce after leaving their jobs."


The New Standard in Recruitment: Candidate Experience

The biggest message of this book is that 'recruitment is experience design.'
The author says that while working on a talent retention project in the past, “I found the answer in the memories of those who stayed rather than in the reasons for those who left.”
What I realized through that experience is the 'employee experience' and the 'applicant experience' that comes before that.
In other words, recruiting is no longer simply a matter of managing procedures; it is a matter of designing how applicants experience the company, and this experience has become a key indicator that determines the company's brand and competitiveness.
This book presents, with rich examples, why companies should treat applicants like customers and why recruiters should transform into "experience designers."
