“During uncertain times transparency and communication is key to retaining top talent”: Interview with Ethan Partners founder and CEO Ann-Christine Roope
Summary
Our biggest challenge when starting Ethan Partners was to find top talent that would like to join the company, despite the fact that you are an unknown name and brand. Also in our case, we did not have any funding so couldn’t offer high salaries which makes it even harder to convince top talent to join the company. Focusing on company culture early on and hiring people with the same vision makes a great team from the beginning and saves time in the long run. Some of the trends I think will be the biggest in the HR tech sector are: I’m not sure AI will be good enough to assess profiles in the coming years, but it can definitely be used to automatize and speed up the hiring process. I think that we will see more and better HR solutions to simplify and speed up the administrative process of recruitment and free more time for the interview and onboarding experience.
