Recruitment Technology: Asia Rises Amid Improved Matching Technology

We are all familiar with the major themes of the day: China's continued rise; the shifting of trading relationships following political changes in the United States and Europe; and technology's encroachment upon nearly every industry, from finance to medicine to marketing.

How will companies like DaXtra help recruiters and candidates navigate the labour market in today's rapidly evolving digital economy? Given that this is intended to be a digestible summary of the year ahead, let me break the discussion down into three, easily identifiable topic categories: (1) technological innovation, (2) demographics and (3) regulation. On the innovation side we can expect a deeper commitment to improve recruitment technology – or, RecTech – AI, especially in the area of matching technology and big data analysis for a range of Asian languages.
