According to Sekhar Garisa, CEO, “Technology is leading disruption across sectors and Talent Acquisition is no exception. The pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we work and the way we hire.”
“We have been privileged to witness the talent acquisition landscape evolve over the last three decades, giving us an unparalleled depth of insights into recruitment. The platform of the future needs to cater to a highly dynamic job market, skill-based hiring and changing expectations from careers,” he added.
Furthermore, Garisa also went on to point out that a part of the new journey of Monster will be to simply facilitate job and candidate discovery to enable significantly better talent management outcomes.
