In every aspect of HR, technology is available to bridge the gaps of distances,
time and place. To explain the point, let’s take up the Hiring processes.
Recruitment can harvest maximum benefit from technology. Technology is
greatly impacting how employers recruit great talent and how great talent
finds the right employer. The outreach of technology can fulfill critical gaps
of employee right-time sourcing, inclusion in diversity, bridging skill gaps
and even right employment engagement model. Today you can be present
at various campuses simultaneously using technologies available in job
portals for campus outreach. The limitation of travelling from Campus to
Campus can be totally done away with.
Applied Artificial Intelligence is being
progressively used in screening databases
to search the best CVs to fit the role
description. Video interviewing and
considering a candidate's social media
profiles as part of the application, instead of
just screening candidates is becoming
commonplace. In addition to Social Media,
Applicant Tracking systems, Mobile
recruiting, Job boards and Career pages are
now oft found recruitment practices.
And technology is a two-way street.
Facebook, Linkedin, Glassdoor have taken
transparency to the next level. The employer
is as vulnerable to scrutiny as the
prospective employee.
