HR Insights Series

The impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented, certainly changing the world as we know it. Businesses everywhere have had to pivot and adjust as necessary to make safety a top priority. This results in additional pressure for senior HR professionals in particular, who are now faced with challenging business decisions.

The Robert Walters HR Insights Series has been developed to identify the challenges faced by senior HR professionals and advice on how to overcome them. Robert Walters will cover a series of Q&A sessions held with senior HR professionals across Ireland, covering topics such as leadership in a time of crisis, how to build resilience in a time of crisis, how to manage your own wellness and more.

Robert Walters has the capability to provide candidates and clients with innovative video technology, from live interviews to solo pre-recorded ones which can be created at the candidates' convenience and sent to the client to review, also at their convenience. We can also provide video shortlists alongside supporting documents, such as CVs, test results and portfolios.

We reduce the need for face-to-face interviews, time-to-hire and manage the entire recruitment process remotely - accelerating the efficiency and effectiveness of your onboarding process.
