Has anyone noticed that skilled candidates are being overlooked due to online tests? A senior recruiter received a link to take an online test from a well-known company. However, by that time, he had already accepted another offer and decided to move forward with it. Meanwhile, one of my seniors, who has over 20 years of experience in the staffing industry and brings in millions of dollars in business, wanted to try out the test. He ended up scoring only 30%! 😁 What do you think this indicates? #onlinetest #Hiring #AIrecruitment #Bot #recruitment

Recent updates to the Labor Code in Poland have introduced new regulations on remote work, giving employees more flexibility. While remote work offers benefits, it's also important to recognise the value of in-office collaboration and social interaction. By implementing a hybrid work arrangement, you can reap the benefits of both worlds. Face-to-face interactions are essential for building strong relationships with colleagues and others in the company. Building strong relationships with your coworkers can lead to a sense of community and belonging, which is essential for overall well-being. When you're working in an office, you're more likely to have spontaneous conversations and brainstorming sessions that can lead to new ideas and insights. Don't miss out on the benefits of working in an office! By trading in your pyjamas for a cubicle, you can: - Increase productivity, - Improve collaboration and communication skills, - Achieve a better work-life balance, - Enhance creativity, - Take advantage of professional development opportunities, - Enjoy social benefits, And, as I've experienced personally, you might even find thank you notes on your desk for helping out colleagues! #AlconPoland #AGSPoland

So is it now a candidate market or an employer market? Just a couple of years ago, employers could choose whoever they wanted and screen out candidates based on the most unexpected criteria. But at the moment, in my opinion, the choice is always with the one who chooses the company. The applicant can choose a more interesting occupation for him, a more convenient format of work and can discuss for a long time the amounts he wants to receive. I'm curious, who do you think controls the labor market now? Job Seekers or Employers? On my own behalf, I would like to remind you that BrightBirds is actively searching for the Head of Recruitment to Andersen Lab. #job #jobseeker #vacantplace

Think an employee handbook is too old school? 📒 Think again! Done right, an employee handbook can go way beyond just onboarding new hires with a set of dos and don'ts. It helps spread the word about your company, shows your brand's personality, and can become crucial during tough times. Not convinced yet? Let us tell you all about it on our full guide to employee handbooks: https://lnkd.in/e6GxDxD

While AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of HR, there are certain tasks and functions that it may not be able to fully replace. 👉 And here they are! By Eliska Simonkova , PRODENSA EUROPE #HRprofessionals #humanresources #human #HRflexibility

Food for thought: Why do candidates who seem interested in a particular job role in the beginning suddenly stop all modes of communication? A. They are not interested anymore in the role B. They are busy and have suddenly got engaged in a super exciting project C. They do not want to relocate for personal reasons D. They are not ready for any kind of interviews at this stage of their career E. They have received an 'Onsite opportunity' F. Some misfortune or mishap has occurred Whatever the reason be, isn't it basic courtesy and manner to return a call or at-least auto reply stating 'Not interested', instead of avoiding calls repeatedly? 🤔 Have a great weekend everyone! #basicmanners

Continous Learning and Development comes in many shapes and sizes. I am often reminding employees that much of their career development will come on the job, through the relationships they build, through new situations, and through projects and partnerships. It doesn't always require extra dedicated time. However, classroom learning is still important but it needs dedicated time to complete. To encourage our employees to step out of their daily work, our People Team hosted the 2nd annual Learning and Development Summit these past two weeks. Topics varied greatly including entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence, relationship building, storytelling, building resilience and more. It was an energizing and thought-provoking time and I look forward to the next summit!

❗️The calculation of work experience will change in Poland. To date, only work under an employment contract is counted towards work experience. The Polish Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Policy considers this unfair and has proposed equalizing the rights of those working under Umowa o pracę and other employees.👍 In the future, in addition to the period of work under an Employment Contract, it is planned to count work under any civil law contracts (Umowa zlecenie, etc.) and entrepreneurial activity towards the total length of service. 🔺But only on the condition that these employees pay the same taxes and contributions to ZUS as they are required to pay when working under Umowa o pracę. When will the new changes come into force❓ Currently, all ministries are actively working on amendments to the Labor Code. However, one should not expect a quick result, as the issue is very complex. The project should be submitted to the Seimas in the third quarter of this year, so the changes should not be expected to come into force before 2025. [Who pays ZUS in Poland? Both the employer and the employee are obligated to contribute to the Polish social security system. Apart from paying its own share, the employer is obligated to withhold the employee's share of the social security contributions and remit them to the Social Security Authorities (ZUS).] #POLAND #EUROPEUPDATE #WORKINEUROPE #WORKINPOLAND

My new project is to help managers understand the idea of values and culture in company. I can say not all companies, CEOs, or shareholders realize how important values are and how they make decisions easier, improve performance, and play a big role in keeping employees engaged and customers happy. It's sometimes unclear for me, if HR should define the values or shareholders should dictate them. But no matter who defines the values, I think HR should explain the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen values to the shareholders. I think we can agree that values are the foundation of culture, and there are thousand definitions of culture, but I like how Gallup puts it: "How we do things around here." Based on this idea and Gallup’s definition, I explored the values of other telecom companies to learn more about this industry. I found AT&T's values impressive, and I take my hat off to the clarity and strength that they showed. Here are their values: 1. Live True (Do the right thing, no compromise.) 2. Think Big (Innovate and get there first) 3. Pursue Excellence (In everything, every time) 4. Stand for Equality (Speak with your actions) 5. Make a difference (Impact your world) 6. Be there (When a customer & colleagues need you most.) As I learn more about values and how they shape a company, I see how important they are. Values help us make choices and do better at work. They also stay with people even after they leave a job. Having strong values is super important for a company's image and how people feel working there. Let's keep promoting the importance of values because they're key to making a company successful and keeping employees happy. #ValuesMatter #Values #Culture #Gallup #ATandT

Today at AMS Poland, we hosted a session on Diversity & Inclusion in Recruitment World, pushing us to question not just what we do but why we do it... I am sharing the session’s subjective takeaways: 1. Start with “Why”. D&I can’t be a box to check in recruitment process. To truly embed D&I, organizations must clarify why it matters and how it connects to broader business and social goals. 2. Make D&I learning ongoing for all. Like a new language, D&I requires continuous learning, adapting, improving. Spotting mistakes, learn from them and start again. It's a process. Don't give up! 3. Build Alliances, not just policies. Policies are only part of the picture, the real impact comes from alliances which move D&I from an idea to an active, organization-wide and valuable mission 4. Demand transparency, at every step. Transparency builds trust. By clearly defining roles and decisions, we create an inclusive recruitment process that candidates can rely on, reinforcing fairness and accountability in hiring. 5. Focus on Intentional Inclusion, not just numbers. Going beyond quotas means intentionally recruiting diverse talent. It's about proactive, consistent inclusion. 6. Recruit with Empathy. Candidates bring diverse experiences that shape who they are. Hiring with empathy, against objective skillset, listening to their stories, creates connections and helps build a genuinely inclusive team. 7. Commit to Inclusivity beyond recruitment. Inclusivity must extend through onboarding, development, and retention. By supporting candidates at every stage, we’re building more than a diverse workforce, we’re building an inclusive culture that people want to stay in. 8. Make Diversity everyone’s job. A diverse, inclusive workplace isn’t just an HR responsibility; it’s a collective effort. Every team member, not just recruiters, plays a role in building a culture of belonging. 9. D&I is an ongoing journey requiring genuine commitment, openness, and sustained effort. True diversity is transformative, changing not just processes and workplaces but mindsets and cultures. Thank you to the AMS Team Maria Wojciechowska Edyta Dziomdziora Marta Bilska and Tomasz Dąbrowski from Think Tank Diversity Hub and all our guests from Motorola, Shell, Pepsico, Brainly, ABB, Aptiv, Datafeedwatch, ML RightSource, BBH, HSBC for their invaluable insights!

Spotting Potential Beyond the CV.... Recently, I received a CV that was quite unconventional: full of colors, pictures, and an informal style. → At first glance, it didn’t match the typical senior-level professional format. But digging deeper, I saw a candidate with outstanding experience, qualifications, and potential who could be an excellent fit for one of our roles. → Instead of dismissing the CV format, I focused on the person behind it and invited him to an interview. This approach paid off: he turned out to be a highly #skilled and promising talent, with the capabilities and attitude we were looking for. To support him in presenting his experience #professionally, I shared a simple CV template and offered some tips on crafting a more formal layout. He embraced the feedback, quickly #restructured his #CV, and returned it within hours, eager, thankful, and cooperative. → The result? His revised CV left a great impression on my client and showcased his true potential. This experience was a reminder of the importance of looking beyond first impressions. Have you ever experienced something similar? #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Recruitment #CareerDevelopment #Opportunities

Today's job market demands more than just qualifications; it requires fairness and respect in the hiring process. As a job seeker, I recently experienced firsthand the consequences of prejudgment and hasty conclusions by an employer during a job interview. I arrived promptly at 7:50 am for a scheduled 9:00 am interview, only to be kept waiting until 11:00 am by the CEO, who had not yet resumed work. Upon finally meeting him, I was met with disdain for my previous remote job. The CEO hastily assumed that because of its nature, I would be unable to adhere to early office hours, despite my prompt arrival that very morning. He said and I quote " Your last job was a remote job which means you will not be able to resume work early before 8:00". Despite my attempts to clarify and assure him of my flexibility and commitment, I was dismissed without a fair chance to showcase my skills and dedication. This experience left me disappointed and disheartened, highlighting a prevalent issue in today's job market – the tendency to judge candidates based solely on their CVs without giving them a fair chance to prove themselves. Dear Employers, it's crucial to remember that behind every CV is a potential asset to your company. Jumping to conclusions based on superficial details can lead to missing out on top talent. Fairness, respect, and open-mindedness are essential in fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture. Furthermore, in today's digital age, leveraging virtual interviews can not only save time and resources but also ensure a smoother and more accessible hiring process for all candidates. By embracing technology, employers can eliminate unnecessary barriers and make the hiring experience more equitable for everyone involved. Let's strive for fairness and inclusivity in the hiring process, valuing each candidate for their skills, experience, and potential contribution to our organizations. Together, we can create a workplace where every individual feels respected, valued, and given a fair chance to succeed. #FairHiring #InclusiveWorkplace #RespectInHiring
