Human Resources (HR) and information technology (IT)can hardly be separated anymore and, based on digital transformation, additional recruitment channels are opening permanently. This has a direct impact on recruiting and the job description of recruiters. HR must align to the new environment (HR transformation) and should contribute proactively to the success of the recruiting process. It is getting more and more important to recruit suitable staff at the first go and to have it appointed to the vacant position right away. False recruitment is time-consuming, creates anxiety in the ongoing operation and results in high costs.
