Hiring remote employees from India – has the time come now?

Hiring remote employees from India – has the time come now?

Top 5 HR Trends that Start-ups Can’t Afford to Ignore in 2020

Top 5 HR Trends that Start-ups Can’t Afford to Ignore in 2020

The last couple of years have seen some interesting things happening in the HR industry. On the one hand, cutting-edge technologies have found their way into HR software, and the post-globalization internet economy continues to change workforce patterns in a big way. At the same time, companies are struggling when it comes to creating a work environment that makes employees feel nurtured, productive, and creative.

Your context is unique. So should be your interview process.

Refresh the way you hire.

Refresh the way you hire.

We are almost in the year 2018. Hiring today is much different from what it was even 5 years ago. Good talent now is busy, distracted and even scarcer, which means attracting it today requires a different mindset.
