The coronavirus offers many organizations a glimpse into a future world. A world in which organisations were forced to transform themselves digitally from one moment to the next. For example, organisations were forced to implement digital tools in a very short period of time in order to: support remote working, maintain communication and collaboration, and gain insight into performance.

The coronavirus has allowed companies to experience at first hand that a digital HR policy is necessary to keep the organisation running in these special times.

Recruiting suitable candidates is always important, but due to the tight labour market the pressure is just a little higher. Organisations spend a lot of money on different recruitment methods and these are abundant. As an HR professional you can choose from working at sites, social media, job boards, internal recruitment departments, recruitment agencies, recruitment events. The ideal candidate is a pin in a haystack. Unless you can turn the game around!

HR is a fairly traditional market that is changing rapidly. Digitisation and technology play a major role in this. A few years ago the technology within HR consisted mainly of personnel systems to record administrative tasks and the recruitment process (applicant tracking systems). A great contrast with the smart systems that are currently being introduced with great regularity. Whereas the old packages mainly focused on automating handwork and processes, today's HR technology (HR-tech for short) provides optimal support for every step in the HR process. From on-boarding to retirement.
