Blockchain, the decentralized distributed database, is being trialled and implemented by numerous companies across multiple industries on a global scale.
No longer confined to cryptocurrency, blockchain’s capabilities can be extended to sectors such as logistics, fashion, healthcare and even humanitarian causes like we can see with the ID2020 digital identity initiative which aims to provide a global identity solution for refugees.
At present, we see companies such as Hays and NRG are in the initial stages of jumping on the blockchain bandwagon and it won’t be long until the HR and recruitment processes are likely to become more streamlined with this tech.
"Blockchain’s implications for the finance industry are well-known, but the potential to use the technology in the world of work is huge and it will soon transform HR and recruitment," says Grant Torrens, Business Director of Hays in Singapore.
So how will blockchain impact the HR function?
Check out this edition's cover article Blockchain In HR by NorbertsErts to understand how this technology is set to revolutionize HR and recruitment functions.
Talent scarcity is an age-old problem for almost all talent acquisition professionals. Not only is there a deficit of talent, but many do not actually know what their ‘strongest candidate’ looks like making the art of recruitment seem a more difficult task then it ought to be.
It’s a problem getting worse, not better. But as we look to the future, and assess the impact this will have on HR, what does this worry really mean?
Charles Hipps, in his article Battling Talent Scarcity, goes in-depth into the topic to help us understand who the best candidate is and how to identify them.
Moving on there is Ben Eubanks' Top 10 Onboarding Hacks To Improve Employee Experience, where he lists down a few ways you can modify your approach to onboarding to make it more effective and successful.
Also read, Interviewing A Werewolf by Amir Qureshi and Are You Missing The Mark On Onboarding?by Ryan Duguid, among other articles featured this month.
We hope this edition of Talent Acquisition Excellencewill give you practical suggestions, as always, for improving company practices around interviewing, sourcing, on-boarding etc. and help you find best candidates.
