Recruitment is Changing – Is Your Business Ready?
The UK job market is evolving at lightning speed in 2025. Skill-based hiring, flexible work demands, and AI-powered processes are reshaping how companies attract talent. One thing is certain: the old agency model with 15–20% commission per hire is looking increasingly outdated.
Ad Talent offers a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective way to recruit. We combine premium job advertising, cutting-edge technology, and hands-on recruiter expertise – all for a single, transparent fee. No surprise costs. No inflated commissions. Just results.
Here’s how the latest recruitment trends are shaping the future – and why partnering with Ad Talent gives you a competitive edge.
1. Skill-Based Hiring is Driving Better Results
Businesses are moving away from hiring based purely on degrees and job titles. According to McKinsey, hiring for skills is five times more predictive of job performance and improves retention by 34%.
Ad Talent ensures your vacancies reach a wide, relevant audience so you can find candidates with the right capabilities – not just the right buzzwords on their CV.
2. AI-Driven Recruitment Saves Time – But Human Insight Matters
AI now handles CV screening, scheduling, and matching, and AI-selected candidates are 14% more likely to pass interviews. But technology alone isn’t enough.
Our recruiters use AI to work smarter, yet still personally vet and shortlist every applicant, so you only meet the most suitable talent.
3. Employer Branding & Candidate Experience Are Essential
Today’s jobseekers are selective – 88% check a company’s reputation before applying, and great candidate experiences can reduce cost per hire by 70%.
Ad Talent promotes your vacancies with the right messaging, ensures every applicant is treated respectfully, and protects your brand image at every stage.
4. Flexibility & Hybrid Work Are Dealmakers
With 72% of UK employers offering flexible working, hybrid models (two–three office days per week) are the norm. Candidates are increasingly rejecting roles without it.
We highlight your flexible options in job ads to help your business stand out in a competitive market.
5. Mobile-First Recruitment is Non-Negotiable
Two-thirds of jobseekers apply via mobile. If your process isn’t quick and easy, you’ll lose strong candidates.
Ad Talent ensures your roles appear on mobile-optimised platforms with ‘quick apply’ options, handling the surge in applications and passing you only shortlisted talent.
6. Diversity & Inclusion Drive Innovation
Diverse teams outperform competitors. We make sure your job adverts are inclusive, free from bias, and promoted to wider talent pools – helping you build stronger, more representative teams.
