SuccessConnect Berlin 2018 – discover how transformation affects talent acquisition now and in the future
The word transformation is everywhere in the business world these days, and for good reason. We have taken transformation as a major theme for this year’s SuccessConnect event in Berlin to demonstrate great customer stories, best practices and our product visions to help you in your own digital transformation.
What does transformation really mean when it comes to talent acquisition?
Times change, as we all know, but user behavior is impacted by many facets such as device, location, age, globalization and channel. Each of these dictate how people want to communicate and engage with companies, be it for a simple purchase or a job. Adapting to this change can be difficult, especially with the need to be efficient while meeting company objectives.
In Recruiting, transformation comes in the form of divorcing the hiring process from the requisition and the application, while marrying the recruiter and candidate experiences together. By doing this, you can quickly dissect what is truly important in your recruiting process to get at the best experience, all while making your recruiters and sourcers extremely efficient. Recruiting skillsets are transforming, just as technology is changing. Improving the candidate experience through content and design, and engagement tactics to nurture candidates, are critical components to taking the next steps to meet your company’s strategy and goals.
Onboarding is also affected by transformation. Whereas tactical onboarding is already established in most companies these days, the strategic use of onboarding can maximize its success even more. Even for leading organizations, most onboarding activities rather focus on compliance and administrative automation only—e.g. getting that new hire paperwork taken care of and making sure all mandatory training is completed. We believe that a comprehensive approach is needed that ensures retention, engagement and productivity not only with hiring new employees, but with every other step of the employee lifecycle, from new hires entering the company to employees moving to new roles and even to employees moving on outside of the organization.
The move away from manual processes and even beyond simple automation of tasks to creating unified processes and leveraging data and insights to prompt smart decision making and actions, intelligence that drives personalized, relevant and engaging experiences, and much more cross-boarding activities as part of employee lifecycle management. Cross effects with the transformation in other HR areas like diversification, digitalization, usage of machine learning and mobile…just to name a few. There are many areas where transformation is impacting talent acquisition now and in the future.
