Reinventing Human Resources Through Digitalization

Abstract

Human resource management (HRM) in organizations is rapidly being transformed by information technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the pace of digitalization of HR processes, which has become particularly important in the context of the digital transformation of human resource activities. Those organizations that take advantage of digital HRM technologies are better positioned than those that pay less attention to them. Additionally, organizations have had to adapt to new work models such as hybrid or remote work. This chapter describes how digitization is reshaping human resources by introducing digital HR transformation in different activities, comparing digital recruitment to traditional recruitment, focusing on the role of applicant tracking systems in recruitment and selection, and examining digital trends and work models. Finally, several practical implications will be discussed.

Digital design in the HRM system as a component of the sustainable development strategy

“…Tanco, J.-M. Plan, D. John and Kabongo note the impact of digitalization of human resource management on improving organizational performance [22]. A. M. Amor talks about accelerating the pace of digitalization of personnel management processes and the introduction of digital personnel transformation in various types of activities, compares digital recruitment with the traditional model, paying special attention to the candidate tracking system [23]. D. Martins substantiates the importance of creating a center specializing in digital human resource management, which is a single platform for the interaction of several agents and contributes to the development of new ideas, tools for managing sources, information and knowledge [24].…”
