Adding value to technology

In the 14 years since we established the recruitment sector has changed considerably from paper, print & filing oriented processes to the current state of the art cloud database driven systems that operate in “Formula 1” time frames.   At its core however, it is still a people business.

Recruitment practice as a whole has embraced new software, social media & technology with open arms but it is fair to say this has been with varying degrees of success. Companies themselves have also jumped in with two feet, but buying the available technology does not guarantee recruitment success.

Here at KHR & KES we have worked hard to ensure

that how we use technology adds value to the recruitment process.

We understand that adding value to the recruitment process through technology takes a lot of time, far more than people realise. It takes time to understand it, implement it, optimise it. Results won’t be instantaneous and it does not save you the time you might expect it to. The human element cannot be replaced with an algorithm.

We understand that technology can’t give your future employees the required personal service needed in this current skills-short market.

We understand that technology cannot read between the lines, it can’t encourage, it can’t guide and it does not have the inbuilt instinct for people.

We understand this is a process based on two sets of people and technology will never be capable of  replicating the human element that has been tried and tested over decades.
