I recently had the opportunity to attend a very instructive webinar organized by Leihia, titled “Reinventing Your Recruitment Process with a Next-Generation ATS.”
Although I am not directly involved in recruitment, and I already know the value LEIHIA offers, the topic particularly caught my attention, especially through the testimonial of Sonia Benbacha from Lagardère Travel Retail.
During this very dynamic exchance, the figure that caught my attention the most? 98.7% of candidates are satisfied with their application experience. Considering how applying for jobs can sometimes feel like an obstacle course, this figure was eye-opening. It offers a fresh perspective on recruitment processes, which are often seen as lengthy and impersonal...
Sonia Benbacha’s testimony also highlights how an optimized candidate experience can lead to selecting candidates who are not only aligned with the company’s values but also possess the required skills. The result? Nearly 80% of presented candidates are hired. A significant time saver for HR teams and for the managers involved in the onboarding and training of new hires.
What particularly interests me, beyond the purely human aspect, is how technology, when well-designed, can genuinely streamline complex processes and enhance the user experience. This type of innovation resonates with my key areas of interest: the transformation of organizational models and their impact on people.
An intuitive, human-centered technology like the one described by Sonia Benbacha and Priscillia Rossi, the founder and president of Leihia, seems to truly be able to support and facilitate this kind of change by creating a synergy between tools and human values.
As for the tool itself, Sonia Benbacha described it as "intuitive", a platform that centralizes all information in one place, making the recruiter’s job much easier. It seems to be a perfect alignment between meaning and values, supported by a simple tool that serves people, but do not replace them.
Thanks a lot for this very inspiring testimony Sonia Benbacha.
My question to Priscillia Rossi: What more could we ask for?
