Supporting digital transformation has always been one of our core values. We have witnessed firsthand the evolution of recruitment technology and how said technology can revolutionise a function.
From AI to ATS’s, technology not only enhances the process but also frees up capacity for busy TA professionals to focus on the areas that still require the human touch. The World Economic Forum carried out research on the planned business adaption in response to COVID-19 and 84% of employers surveyed will accelerate the digitalization of work processes.
This post features the 4 key areas (Attraction, Selection, Engagement, and Management) where recruitment and technology go hand in hand. We have also highlighted the most innovative technologies available on the market in each given stage and their key USPs.
Attraction
Technology complements the recruitment process from beginning to end, so it’s only appropriate to start with the initial attraction of candidates. Attracting the best people to the role you’re hiring for is paramount, because commencing with a pool of first-rate talent puts your best foot forward. Randstad Sourceright’s latest COVID-19 Surveillance Report has highlighted that recruitment marketing platforms are one of the top 10 technologies that have been implemented during the pandemic.
