It’s all about Technology... oh wait! It’s not - Balazs Paroczay
Presentation from Balazs Paroczay, Head of Recruiting Strategy and Innovations, Randstad Sourceright EMEA, at Textkernel's conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June in Amsterdam. Due to digital technology revolution, sourcing for good candidates is basically not a challenge anymore. There are search plugins but also productivity tools, document and data-grabbing, parsing and matching, email verification, image search and soon-coming face recognition applications, click-rate or any-other-type data analytics softwares (trillions of them!), and it looks like the core competitive advantage of a top sourcer is solely on his toolkit nowadays. This is however a trap, I believe, and we definitely need to avoid to let technology ultimately drive our thinking when building a sourcing function. During my session I will share how we have embedded technology within Randstad Sourceright’s EMEA Sourcing Centre. How we made choices on when and when not to buy tech and where the human part is proved to be a still greater asset than any other tools or techs on the market.
