Technological developments reaching unimaginable extent in our age have had a powerful effect on business life as in every field of society. Continuous innovation and development of information and technology have created changes in the origin of human resources, based on the individual in business life. Many businesses in the world have made technology an integral part of human resources to save time and to save on financial expenses.
How We Were Influenced By The Online World?
With the introduction of technology in all areas of our lives, the online lifestyle has also included the business world with its inevitable magic. With online life as a result of digitalization, there have been great changes in the human resources working norms of businesses. Recruitment processes have been the area most affected by the ease and speed of online life. In times when technology was not so common in our lives, traditional methods such as newspaper advertisements, existing employee references, or traditional job applications were preferred. Today's Human Resources Specialists can easily access and communicate with candidates from career portals that offer online services. Career hunters as Human Resources Experts which are each trying to find the right candidate have benefited greatly from technology in the success of the selection and placement processes by discovering the distinctive qualities in the resume of the candidate who applied online, making filtering and screening appropriately. Another benefit of online applications is that it provides the opportunity to reach more candidates and facilitates the correct selection and placement process by saving time. With all this information "We found the candidate. But, how will the interviews be conducted?” question will find its answer with the online world that affects life. Recruitment interviews have also been shaped by the development of technology and started to be carried out online. Being in an environment that the candidate knows and familiar with the online interview had helped him to express himself more comfortably, while it also had helped to minimize the anxiety and interview stress caused by environmental conditions such as the candidate's timely arrival at the interview location. Also, online interviews made transportation for the candidates who live in different cities more economical and faster. Many negative situations affect today's conditions and change our ordinariness. One of them, such as the pandemic that includes a difficult period, the conditions that make coming together impossible has been made possible by making it healthier with online interviews.
So, What The Online World Contributed To Us?
People strive to know the unknown throughout the ages. Thanks to technological developments, employees have become more open to self-improvement. However, they started to prepare a competitive environment for themselves in a pool of questions such as "How do I get information?", "How do I know the best?". Employees who win this competition not only show their difference to people in their own status, but also turn into shining stars representing the company. This time, the figurants in the competition scenarios have changed and are replaced by the competition of companies. The company, which is one step behind its competitors, has two options: either attract the shining star or train its current employee. Since online life started to serve information to us on a silver platter, with a single click or with an image, we have the opportunity to access training online. Two different audiences have emerged that want to take online training into their life: organizations which are aware of the fact that their employees will be motivated by personal development, increase employee loyalty, and even aim to reach a quality employee profile by training their employees, and another is who do not find the necessary personal development support in their organization or a person who thinks that if he enhances his personal growth, he can be included in a good company and also who accesses information from outside. Long story short there is a concept in our lives, that hides a great information mystery, makes work easier, and leaves time for us: "technology". A phenomenon that inevitably affects the individual will of course also affect the business life that constitutes the community of individuals. Human Resources Management, which takes its source from people in business life and whose communication is unlimited, has left its old methods aside, has kept pace with the current fashion trend, and has benefited from technology in strategic matters such as accessing, keeping, and preserving the information, which it needs the most.
