The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we do just about everything. No one could have predicted the pace at which this global digital transformation has occurred. Seventy-seven percent of CEOs polled in a recent survey reported that the crisis accelerated their digitalisation plans. And as companies become increasingly fluent in conducting their work virtually, they’ve started to realise how digitalisation can benefit more than just our safety during this crisis. Suddenly, the pace at which we do business has greatly increased. Decisions are being made faster than ever, project timelines are condensed, and goals are achieved like never before.
One area that has been greatly altered by digitalisation is the talent acquisition process. Prior to COVID-19, much of the hir-ing-related decisions were dependent upon in-person inter-actions, from candidate interviews to onboarding. Now, hiring managers and talent alike have embraced the shift to virtual, seeing it as a more seamless process than the alternative. For starters, location is no longer a limitation when it comes to hir-ing, as great talent can be engaged from anywhere. Interviews can easily be conducted over video to meet any individual. All documentation can be provided virtually, allowing hiring man-agers to easily store information on a digital platform and access it at any time. Additionally, this access enables companies to evaluate talent based on data – will this candidate help us achieve our goals? – instead of a gut feeling.
A powerful shift is occurring in the ways that companies do business. The digital transformation will only continue to recali-brate how we work.
A global medical equipment manufacturer needed an enterprise RPO partner to hire top-quality financial talent that was willing to work at any hour, across various regions. What began as a sourcing-only engagement for KellyOCG quickly evolved into a project RPO, and eventually, a three-year enterprise RPO solution that continues to produce reliable, on-time delivery of quality talent, and above-average conversion rates, among other key results.
KellyOCG’s digital recruiting ecosystem allows organisations to continue to engage and recruit the talent they need. We continue to help businesses remain successful in the new normal, whether it’s online on-and off-boarding, or moving to an At-Home Model that keeps your people working remotely but efficiently.
