Digital transformation, the rapid pace of innovation, and the demands of managing remote teams have changed the way we hire and retain talents.
The need to sustain productivity in these challenging times requires hiring employees who are competent, reliable, independent, and committed to delivering the work required without the need for in-depth supervision.
Thus, it is important to develop a strong employer brand to attract the right quality of talent.

At the very least, it is also important to avoid unethical issues in the hiring and selection process.
