Recruitment is a critical process because it brings new talent into an organization, which has a direct impact on its performance and success. Effective recruitment ensures the right match between candidates and job requirements, helping to increase productivity, creativity and team development. Proper recruitment can also influence organizational culture and help create a positive work environment.
How is the recruitment process carried out within companies in Romania? In 2018, statistics showed that for 68% of companies in Romania, the main challenge was finding employees with increasingly specialized skills.
This situation is influenced by several factors:
1. Currently, the Romanian diaspora is growing significantly, with many Romanian citizens opting to work abroad in various fields.
2. Top specialists are often attracted to foreign environments from the time of their studies, seeing greater advantages in pursuing their careers abroad.
3. The Romanian market sometimes faces difficulties in adapting to the dynamic changes in the business world, and this can lead to the formation of a workforce that is not prepared to flexibly respond to the varied challenges of the market.
4. Approaching and attracting candidates is not always properly targeted, so the message does not reach potential employees, just as they fail to identify the right companies for them.
Today's most effective recruiting methods include:
1. Posting on job sites and social networks.
2. Use of artificial intelligence and automation.
3. Passive recruiting and approaching candidates through social media.
4. Organization of virtual recruitment events.
5. Development of a strong employer brand (employer branding).
6. Employee referrals for candidate identification.
7. Internal recruitment to promote existing employees.
8. Collaboration with specialized recruitment agencies.
