Technology is now playing a critical role in optimizing HR performances and talent management. Digital interviews using phones, tablets or even laptops save substantial amount of time, effort and money. Recruiters can connect directly with candidates and get preview on his / her caliber before the formal interview process can begin. Live streams can also be targeted using Periscope or Facebook. This also enables better quality of relationship building even after some candidate has been selected. Paper records are often cumbersome to maintain and depend on human diligence to keep them in good shape. This risk is mitigated when those records are stored digitally. Work is no longer constrained by geographical difficulties as tools such a Slack enable global teams to be connected to each other through digital means.
