Death of the CV
“The resume is archaic and will die. By 2020 we will see a new form of resume that will be audio and video and on mobile,” predicted Ajay Trehan, founder and CEO of Authbridge, an employee verification company. Various studies have shown that the average recruiter spends barely six seconds on a resume. Video resumes on mobile could be a way of holding their attention longer.
Feedback apps
“The engagement marketplace is a billion-dollar one but is studded with worthless surveys. We need to find a better way of getting employee feedback than cumbersome surveys. And the world of feedback apps is here,” said Josh Bersin, Principal at Bersin by Deloitte. The good news is some companies are moving to use of always-on, pulse-based feedback systems that gather information on a monthly or even weekly basis. Many systems enable event-based feedback that can be gathered whenever there is major organisational change.
Learning is earning
“The learning curve is an earning curve. Yet corporate learning is a broken one now. It’s hard to access, lacks mobile support and has a very siloed approach,” says Sarika Khanna, SVP, Product and Services, Litmos by Callidus Cloud, a learning management system. The broken learning curve can be fixed by making training modules bite-sized, delivered over mobile and using video. In the new world, corporate learning will be both micro and macro. And soon you will have data-driven learning, where AI will recommend what you need to learn.
