Recruitment and Training and the Dynamics of Digitalization

Abstract In this chapter, the challenges of digitalization from the perspective of Human Resources (HR) and Talent Management are discussed. The pace of change within the workplace requires HR officers to put in place more standardized and effective methods to assess the candidates and finalize recruitment, as well as to design training in a continuous and dynamic manner. The chapter provides an account of the processes undertaken by a leading European steel company and reflects the views of the author and his professional experience in HR functions in international companies based in Europe. The professional experience dates back to the 1990s, and includes the recent changes in the world of HR and the steel industry.
