Do you know how to update the recruitment process?
CB Insights research found that HR industry got nearly $2 billion in 2015 to increase digital ecosystem for recruitment and employee engagement. It will help to provide talent management in a new way with innovative tech tools.

Digital HR needs to align talent, structure, culture, and workflows to balance productivity and innovation
Flexible networks of HR expertise help to provide appropriate integration with the business. It allows expanding HR throughout the entire company, focusing on specific issues.
Ibarra, the Cora Chaired Professor of Leadership and Learning at INSEAD, says that networks allow connecting with the stakeholders outside the company. In many cases, the recruiters are too focused on urgent tasks and networks help to refresh the knowledge about what’s going on in global recruitment and how others see your role in the company.
She calls it the “outsight principle” that helps to bring your own ideas to the table and use others’ experience as well. For example, the reinsurance company Swiss Re has used networks to bring diversity to their workforce and in order to find the better solutions to their challenges.
Networks help to build valuable business relationships with people outside of your immediate groups. External relationships from the HR meetings and conferences are very important in recruitment to be aware of new trends and implement innovations in your organization. The network may include persons at different levels from your company but they haven’t all be in your area of specialty.

For example, short animated videos may present new benefits for the employees. Video learning system that allows talents share content to each other increase employees’ engagement in learning as well.
Also, HR plays a valuable role in aligning organizational culture and other aspects of the business to reach productivity and implement necessary changes. The right HR culture will bring digital transformation as organizations in all industries understand that they have to act based on culture. For example, successful companies use always-on feedback systems, anonymous suggestions, and corporate “Like Buttons” to tell managers about their daily experience. Bersin by Deloitte created frameworks to capture feedback so leaders can make data-driven decisions.
Embrace new technology
Nowadays, only 8% of organizations implement technology for scheduling, 7% for coaching, 10% for performance management, 13% for hiring. Digital transformation only starts but already has many good outcomes.
HR may get more answers from employees through the apps and refine staff productivity this way. Top companies use apps and new technology to boost efficiency. For example, DuPont simplified and improved recruitment and learning systems into one dynamic portal to fulfill employees’ needs. Australia’s big telecommunications company Telstra applies an app to provide great onboarding for new hires. It helps to eliminate frustrations and refine talent acquisition.
Digital HR demands agility with apps, behavioral economics and the implementation of analytics. We need to measure achievement by the rate of adoption to make all systems comfortable for the staff.
