From candidate to employee experience
In fact, the concepts of candidate and employee experience
have become extremely important in a context of «competition
for talent.»
As explained by Valentina Brysina, «Companies worldwide are
facing the same challenge of increasing demand. Therefore,
the importance of candidate experience is bigger than most
of us realize. It starts from the first contact of the recruiter,
the very first word!”
In this respect, she highlights several aspects, among them
communicating with candidates as humans and with decent
attention through all recruitment process, delivering to
each candidate feedback, giving clear explanation of the
assessment process to the candidate and more.
Docler narrates its employee experience in the web dimension
called «#LifeatDocler,» so that future talents can get a glimpse
of what happens on a daily basis and feel the atmosphere
– and the culture – at the company before they are hired.
“It is more than just «employer branding.» We at Docler share
real stories and fragments of our daily experience.” When it
comes to employee experience, «among others, we also put in
place a new L&D – Learning & Development – related program,
allowing talents to develop their skills, learn new technologies
and seize new opportunities. They can also express themselves
through surveys, and Docler provides them with well-being
initiatives such as a daily breakfast, private cinema sessions,
access to the gym, and more. Docler is about feeling good
within the company.”
Also, Docler created an office space that is comfortable and
that allows employees, including tech experts, to be creative.
Teams work within agile methodology, which encourages
them to collaborate with one another, but also with other
departments. A flat organization gives a motivating opportunity
to take the responsibility and solve complex tasks.
Finally, speaking about women in the tech environment,
Valentina Brysina insisted on the uniqueness of today’s
digital world: “Women in Tech bring the critical creativity
and diversity to solutions and the decision-making process.
It’s proven that organizations, who encourage diversity, create
better user experiences and end product. The challenge is to
attract females to tech and to make sure that they bring their
knowledge into action”.
Tech does not only mean coding. “Sure, I know exceptionally
talented female coders, but I also know female business
analysists, project managers, data scientists, machine learning
engineers, QA engineers, UX experts, designers, even technical
recruiters. ICT opportunities are close to being endless.»
As explained by the Lead Recruiter, “and it keeps on evolving
with new technologies. The majority of industries need to
involve IT already today; our world is changing, offering us all
captivating tasks and intriguing problems to solve.
