Recruitment is a challenging process in today’s ever-evolving, continuously-in-flux world. There are many solutions available for the talent acquisition leaders to aid the recruitment process, such as online skill assessment tools, cloud-based data management software, and interviewing tools, etc.
Recruitment is a chaotic process, which is now being simplified by technology. There are skill assessment tools, websites, job portals and many other things to assist the hiring process. The purpose of using technology for assessment and the interview process is to obtain useful information from the applications and find the perfect candidate for a job. Especially in cloud computing which is all about use of hardware and software to deliver services over network.
For decades, an ideal job has been considered to be a full-time, 9 to 5 job with benefits. But this ideal is now being deconstructed to fit the new skill economy with new expectations.
In our recent webinar on the do’s and don’ts of the technical hiring with Valerie Rothlin-Fenton, Fujitsu’s Senior Technical Recruiter, we ran a quick poll.
In a report published in 2019 by IBM, it was reported that the average cost of a single data breach is over USD 3.92 million.
We read every day that we’re in the fourth wave of Industrial Revolution, and businesses are adapting and changing by the minute to thrive in this new dynamic. Technology has become an essential component of every business, including HR.
Just a decade earlier, storing and maintaining data was a nightmare: there weren’t enough processes, inadequate infrastructure, and the lack of technological know-how to create that data into valuable information. However, with rapid technological advancements, we now live in a data rich environment. Around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated and processed every day. Even the AI/ML algorithms have matured slowly to process this data. Therefore, it only seems fitting that data science is a job that has observed a high demand in the market lately.
In today’s time recruitment has become more data-driven than ever. While it is an important element, recruiters can end up spending a lot of their time viewing, monitoring, and analyzing data from different channels within a software. To help recruiters get more value from their data and make smarter hiring decisions, we have introduced Recruiter Dashboard. Using the recruiter dashboard, you will be able to get the pulse of all your hiring data at any given moment.

90% of CEOs believe that digital transformation (DX) will impact their industry, but less than 15% are executing a digital strategy right now. While such slowness and reluctance to adopt would not have had such a huge impact before COVID-19, digital transformation is now no longer a choice, but rather a crucial driver of revenue, efficiency, and growth.
