With a high supply of entry-level talent who have limited experience, businesses need to do away with the traditional recruitment methods, which by their very nature, reduce the exercise to ticking boxes. Instead, businesses should focus on developing the type of talent they need, because the reality is that the unicorns businesses are hoping to recruit are just that – fictitious.
If businesses continue on this trajectory using traditional forms of recruitment – such as placing a job ad and matching job requirements to potential candidates – only 20% of unemployed youth would find the advertisements, and an even smaller percentage would be accepted into the formal job market – exacerbating an already serious issue in South Africa.
For unemployed youth, without the necessary skills and qualifications, this removes the barrier to entry and provides them with an improved chance of entering the job market. For businesses looking to hire, this presents an opportunity to match the right talent to any available role and provide the necessary training and upskilling to ensure consistent performance and improvement throughout the business.
