Optimize and work smarter – in HR

 

The digital and optimized world can save us time and money. Today it is necessary to go from manual processes to SaaS solutions.

 

We are organizing our companies with no or very limited secretarial functions which is why our internal processes have to be as lean and effective as possible. The process of recruiting has many steps and administrative tasks which cost a lot of man-hours if you don’t have great data systems to support it.

 

The growth opportunities in Falck and the need to expand the workforce, has led to the necessity to implement an efficient system which both decreased the time spent but also enhanced the quality of communication with candidates, and hereby the employer brand.

 

Key take aways:

● What are the specific needs in the recruitment process?
● How do you convince the CEO and CFO to make the investment?
● What are the benefits by working smarter?
● Can we increase our focus on efficient and attractive employer branding?
● How do the different cultures react across countries?
● How do we optimize the entire recruitment process? What systems and practices go hand in hand?
