Challenges
From CVs to Character
The tight labor market makes it challenging to find technical talent. Randstad also noticed that using their usual selection methods often created a barrier. Operators and technicians dropped out because the process felt too formal and demanding.
Through their ‘partner for talent’ strategy, they aim to focus on who someone truly is and the competencies and potential they bring.
