We live in times of change. The situation that we have faced in recent years as a society as a result of the pandemic invited us to reflect on our scale of vital priorities and to reorder them. Since then, certain aspects of our lifestyle have become important again, placing the most important thing at the center of all our decisions: people.
But once the health threat of Covid-19, which has shaken the basic pillars of our economic and social model, has been overcome, it is important that we continue to bear in mind the relevance of our purpose in life and the importance of our decisions both for ourselves and for our around.
In the same way as people, organizations have also changed in this period, adopting a much closer attitude towards their teams. Today we see companies that are more aware of their role in society, reinforcing communication with their collaborators, taking care of the emotional health and well-being of their workers and offering new benefits that were unthinkable just a few years ago.
In short, a paradigm shift in which companies assume greater social responsibility, aware that if their employees feel comfortable, safe and happy, the loyalty of the team will increase and, consequently, the productivity and sustainability of the business.
Let's take advantage of this context in which the distances between people have been reduced in professional environments. This change in focus should also be reflected in the talent recruitment processes. Recruiters must adopt a much more active listening today, be more connected with the candidates during the process and worry about transmitting confidence to them to avoid what often happens, that the selection process becomes a tedious and hard experience for the candidate who apply for a job.
In the same way, the candidate must be aware that in each process he has before him the opportunity to reorient not only his professional career, but the rest of his life. Future employees will always want to be sure that they are making the best employment decision possible. After all, that person is not only looking for that job, but an opportunity to develop professionally in their future, and they want to do it together with a specific company, so that it can also grow, providing mutual benefits, which is colloquially known as a win win The alignment between the company and the candidate in terms of culture, values and purpose is the most important factor in decision-making by the candidate and the company.
We are at a time when the recruiter must adapt to the new demands of the candidates, without neglecting the interests of the organization for which they work. People must continue to be the center of the entire process, and the recruiter's attitude must be empathetic and close, since his work can mean changing the lives of these applicants as well as solving the different talent needs of companies. . That first impression transmitted to the candidate about the company is key to the rest of the process. His experience in our interview, what is transmitted and how it is done can be a determining factor for this potential talent when making the decision to join our project. The correct transmission of values and attitude make the difference.
Going to the popular appointment, the recruiter has great power and at the same time great responsibility. The power to find a suitable profile that meets the needs of the company, creating strong and profitable organizations. And, on the other hand, the great responsibility of being the one who has opened a new door in the life of that candidate, giving him an opportunity that will help him achieve not only his professional goals, but also his personal ones. After all, work is the tool that somehow brings that worker closer to finding his life project.
