Work environment and recruitment: when one depends on the other

In a global market, job seekers are no longer limited to a single industry, but are rather open to the entire offer. Following this idea, companies no longer simply compete with their direct competitors to attract the best talent, but also with all companies offering related jobs.

 

For example, to attract the best web developers in the financial industry, the company must offer the same working environments as those in the IT industry, such as NexWeb and Gsoft. The same goes for the Desjardins LAB, which has been offering exploration and technological prototyping services to the various divisions of the Mouvement Desjardins and its business partners for the past year. Above all, it allows management to innovate on a managerial level *.

 

The selection criteria for job seekers no longer boil down to salary and social benefits, they seek above all an experience reflected in the immediate environment of the company, for daily fulfillment, and the deployment of technological tools for performance.

 

Attractive environments to recruit the best

 

To attract the interest of top talent locally and internationally, employers are now offering collaborative spaces, nomadic workspaces without an assigned desk, charging center, daycare services and a coworking cleaner and café.

 

It appears to underline the importance of entertainment areas and lounge areas within the layout. These spaces allow the employee to refuel, to clear his mind a few steps from his workstation and to stimulate his creativity in times of stress. Rightly, these areas can be transformed into areas of collaboration and informal meeting.

 

With equal pay and benefits, the choice will be simple for the job seeker and the employer who has won him over with his corporate image and the tools at his disposal will win the bet.
