The essential job of a recruiter in Belgium
More than ever, the importance of the quality of corporate recruitment is paramount for many reasons. Among the recruiter's tasks, one of the most important is the selection of relevant profiles for a position to be filled within the company in question. To do this, the recruiter must have a keen eye, multidisciplinary knowledge and a strict understanding of the company's values and aspirations. However, we can wonder about the future of this profession in 2022, where digital technology is omnipresent.
Conscientious work
The job of recruiter is of great importance and focuses on several major aspects. Here, we will focus on the relevance of the latter in terms of the selection of candidates for potential hiring. Recruitment involves the essential step of receiving applications, analysing them and making a decision on the next step in the hiring process. The job is therefore to be the first link between a candidate and the company, in addition to being a great responsibility, it is also a highly time-consuming task. Indeed, this process requires a lot of time and that is why it is, without a doubt, sometimes neglected.
Recruitment in 2022
In the digital age, it is normal for almost the entire sector to turn to digital or technology and recruitment is obviously no exception to the rule. In recent years, many companies have been using new technologies to support their decisions. In this way, it allows you to base your thoughts and decision-making on factual elements and figures, and not on simple intuitions. Indeed, progress means that analytics and data science are taking an increasingly important place in the business world, bringing a lot of positive sides. However, both Belgium and France are reluctant to introduce HR analytics.
In another way, digital technology is also growing in the application process. The latter take place more online and many companies call on external structures to lend a hand in this process (such as recruitment agencies that work online, freelance recruiters, etc.). In addition, we can observe the emergence of platforms that relay job offers or offer recruitment services, such as Meet My Job.

The "human" resource
With the arrival of these technologies, the human factor, which is essential in a decision-making process, should not be neglected. This is where digital technology finds its limits. New trends are emerging, but it is important not to think that they will replace the profession. This point of view is defended by Sébastien Delfosse, boss of Manpower Belgium: "Technology will change the content of our business, but it will not replace us" (full article available on the website of La Libre).
This is precisely what we at Meet My Job are all about. Indeed, our desire is to reconcile the best of both worlds: technological progress and the human factor. This form of recruitment 3.0 is in line with the values we cherish, namely to put people back at the center of the problem with, in addition, the prospect of wanting to fight for a better world through careers with a positive impact. Because at Meet My Job, we scrupulously choose the companies we want to work with, which allows us to come together around a base of common values. This is where our strength lies, because our partner companies are ultimately in the same perspective as us, and vice versa. More than a partnership, we want to create a truly prosperous alliance, where the motto of the flat country would take on its full meaning: unity is strength.
A long-term vision
The future of recruitment may still be unclear, but there is far from a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Like everything else, the latter is destined to evolve with the times and therefore potentially redefine itself. Taking this into account, Meet My Job humbly wishes to contribute to this redefinition and become an active pawn in recruitment. "You're crazy!" you might say? It may be a description of the project, but remember that we have neither the ambition to become the kings of the game nor to turn into failure. Meet My Job firmly believes in the future of recruitment and will put in place the necessary efforts to ensure its sustainability, always placing people and their sustainable values in the lead.
