randstad teams up with the next web to advance the impact of technology on talent
In today’s multi-channel world, talent acquisition no longer happens through a resume check. Candidates get a 360-degree profile screening, and their social media accounts are considered as well. Feedback is not only given by managers during annual review sessions but also via feedback apps more frequently. And traditional recruitment fairs no longer only take place in crowded conference halls but also online. Tech is being used all around to boost HR practices and advance human connection – both online and offline.
unleashing HR technology’s potential
Randstad understands how digital solutions can give businesses a competitive advantage, increase productivity, ease talent acquisition and nurture connectivity. This is why one of the world’s largest staffing firms is investing heavily in HR tech solutions and has teamed up with The Next Web (TNW) Conference, one of the biggest technology venues in the world, to launch a dedicated HR tech innovation program.
During the conference, taking place May 9 and 10 in Amsterdam, Randstad will host a dedicated HR tech pavilion where inspiration and ideas around anything happening with HR Tech will be presented and where companies can learn more about startups in the market. The pavilion will offer an opportunity to meet with our experts to learn about the latest technology and connect with visitors facing similar workplace challenges. A dedicated HR Tech Track will offer additional meeting opportunities.
Randstad CEO Jacques van den Broek will host an on-stage chat on May 9 at 12:30 PM (CEST) with technology thought leader Wendy van Ierschot about how technology will impact the future of work and help candidates and employers plan for the changes ahead.
