Recent months have transformed the world of work. Companies have progressed technologically at an unprecedented pace, adopting tools in just weeks or months.
Pandemic Consequences on Quebec's Job Market
Many companies had to make temporary layoffs at the start of the crisis due to new health measures. The unemployment rate went from 8.1% in March to 17% in April, before falling to 13.7% in May. The summer months erased 76.8% of job losses.
All these variations posed significant challenges for human resources managers, who had to implement all these changes while working remotely.
Talent Acquisition and Social Media
Recruiters must redouble their creativity to attract new employees and get back on the path to growth. The current crisis has increased virtual contacts, particularly people's presence on social media, especially among millennials. Preparing recruitment campaigns on social media has become a winning strategy.
Contactless Background Verification
In the talent acquisition process, background verification must be automated and available remotely for candidates. Contact must be limited as much as possible for the health and safety of work teams.
With electronic consent, the background verification process is simple, fast, and secure. The candidate receives consent by email, directly on their phone or other device.

For many HR departments, it is also time to implement new software or optimize existing ones, along with other ATS (Applicant Tracking System) applications.
