GREAT EAST. Virtual reality recruited by human resources


Back to basics

First of all, the observation: “the HR function in a company has had to rethink its organization in particular with this health crisis”, recognizes Denis Deguilhen, who manages the Nancy branch of Walter and will chair the new structure. “Despite the use of digital tools that have become essential, 73% of HR spend, according to a recent study, still half of their working time to perform administrative tasks”.

Empathy and emotional intelligence

These are called soft skills. Creativity, curiosity, team spirit, a sense of empathy, creativity or leadership. If your CV is just a long list of technical references, you are (practically) out of the game. If your company’s HRD considers you without integrating these behavioral skills, your horizon and your prospects will be fatally reduced …

Many employers have become aware of these developments: “they are now looking for” hearts “, candidates and employees with the ability to work together, to communicate, to establish trust”, claim the two entrepreneurs. “Knowledge and expertise are swept away by empathy and emotional intelligence.”

There, the idea, with the playful, is to be natural ”. And to get caught up in the game of his career.
