Thus, the traditional recruitment processes become more social and nowadays the online environment is playing an important role. Also, the formality of the interview disappeared, being adapted in this way to the Millennials generation.
“Youths of the Millennials generation, born between 1980-2000, are quite difficult to approach by employers. For them, the salary is not the most important thing and by far not the only aspect they consider when looking for a job. Therefore, the recruitment process is different, “said Raluca Penes, HR Coordinator Smartree.
Young people are now easily found and caught in the online environment or on social networks, where they are writing about their knowledge, but also from where they can extract all the information about a possible employer. In addition to the interview, it is important that recruiters mention aspects of the organizational environment: the package of fringe benefits, flexible working program, opportunity to professionally development, the distance from home, all of these being very important things for Millennials candidates, according to Smartree.
However, there are specializations and professions for which the assessment tests are still being applied in the processes of recruitment, especially in the technical sector. Here, the validation of candidates is only possible through the application of specialized tests. Lately, another visible trend in the labor market has been recruiting in a very alert method. Thus, the fast entry of a large number of multinationals to the Romanian market generated additional staff required. Meanwhile, short deadlines to deliver this staff affected the quality of recruitment.
In multinational companies who have opened outlets in Romania, HR flows are more standardized and have lots of procedures in order to be local and global applied. Instead, in the local companies, HR people have the opportunity to be directly involved in developing, defining and streamlining the procedures and policies for recruiting, which, if it involves management department, are easier to achieve and applied.
