The Role Of Recruitment Agencies In The Future
Due to advancements in technology, the recruitment industry has changed a lot over the last few decades, and at MJD Recruitment, we find ourselves wondering where the next few decades will lead us. As a leading support professional recruitment agency in Brisbane, we believe it’s important to stay ahead of the times, adapting and empowering our clients to adapt to changes as they come. That’s why we’ve decided to take a quick look into the future and see how the recruitment industry might change over the coming years.
Key Changes In The Recruitment Industry Over The Last 30 Years
Before we take a look into the future, it’s important to look back and see how far the recruitment industry has come.
- Agencies now look at more than just technical skills. A couple of decades ago, the words ‘culture-fit’, ‘soft-skills’, and ‘meta-qualifications’ were all but unheard of. If a person had the right experience to do the job, they were the right person for the role; end of story. Nowadays, agencies seek candidates who have the qualifications as well as a degree of passion for the industry and a personality that fits the company perfectly.
- Recruiters need more skills themselves. Thirty years ago, a recruiter would really only need to have great sales skills and be excellent with people. In modern times, the role has become more sophisticated and complex. Recruitment agencies need people who have skills in resourcing, research, lead management, data analytics, digital marketing, and engaging with potential clients and candidates on social media in addition to traditional channels.
- Recruitment strategies have had to change. In the 1990s, recruitment agencies were developing strategies to target the emerging candidates from late Gen X and early Gen Y or Millennials. However, over the last 30 years, Millennials and Gen Z have come of working age, and recruiters have had to figure out what these generations value to provide them with the best possible career opportunities.
- Technology has had an enormous impact. We couldn’t write an article about how the recruitment industry has changed without discussing digital technology’s ever-growing, ever-changing impact. 1994 saw the introduction of The Monster Board, an online public resume database, and since then, people have been using the internet to find job vacancies. Seek.com.au launched in 1998 and in 2003, LinkedIn launched, changing the face of online recruitment for good. In more recent years, Facebook has created their own job-listing platform, which has integrated the world of social media with job recruitment.
What Role Do Recruitment Agencies Currently Play?
As a leading Brisbane recruitment agency, the MJD Recruitment team knows firsthand how valuable recruitment agencies are to many industries.
We use the data to our advantage. One thing that many organisations may not have access to is the wealth of data on recruitment and hiring. At MJD Recruitment, we use data strategically to make better recruitment decisions and help our clients connect with the right candidates for their business.
Recruiters aim to attract high-quality candidates. Specialist recruitment agencies in Brisbane aren’t just focussed on filling vacancies with just anyone. There is an emphasis on finding the most qualified, experienced, professional candidates to fill roles in which they will thrive.
Recruitment agencies tend to specialise in a certain area of recruitment. If the MJD Recruitment recruitment agency in Brisbane worked with any industry, we would only have a broad experience rather than specialised expertise with office support recruitment. Each agency will typically have an area in which they specialise so they can give expert hiring advice to their candidates and clients.
Helping businesses transition to flexible working arrangements. The last decade (and particularly the last 2-3 years) has seen an increase in flexible working arrangements. Candidates now search for employers who can offer part-time or full-time remote working options, so recruitment agencies like MJD Recruitment work to help businesses make these changes and attract high-quality candidates.
We’re stepping up the mobile recruitment experience. The vast majority of candidates use their phones to search for career opportunities, so recruitment agencies are improving their capacity to reach candidates on mobile devices including text communication over email communication.

Where Will The Future See Recruitment Agencies?
Now it’s time to take a look into our crystal ball and try to see what the future holds for specialist recruitment agencies in Brisbane.
- Job roles will likely be more specialised. The Head of Strategy at SEEK Employment, Florian Dehne, believes that the future will see an increase in positions that require unique capabilities. Recruiters will be needed to unpick the nuanced information given in job descriptions to find the right candidates.
- AI will become a part of the industry. The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence is inevitable, and it will automate a lot of recruitment processes, leading to improved efficiency and smarter recruitment strategies. In fact, companies like Google already use advanced AI technology in their recruitment process, scanning for potential recruits based on their Google searches. So it’s only a matter of time before recruitment agencies all over the world have this technology.
- VR may also find a place in recruitment. With virtual reality technology, recruiters have the opportunity to host live interviews in a virtual office environment, walk candidates through the potential company’s workspace and culture, and see live demonstrations of skills.
- Recruiters will need to look at different sources for candidates. Already, recruiters are looking to social media platforms to find fantastic candidates, and they will need to continue broadening their search pool as time goes on.
- Technology will become more important, but it won’t replace people. Yes, the world is becoming more and more digitised with every passing year, but the human aspect of recruitment is still essential for building relationships with clients and candidates.
- Agencies will continue to adapt. If there’s one thing the recruitment industry is excellent at, it’s adapting to the needs of our clients and candidates. MJD Recruitment is committed to being a leading professional office support recruitment agency, and we’ll keep reinventing ourselves to make sure we’re delivering the best possible service.
