Employers across the globe report having difficulties finding the suitable candidates to fill vacancies, as well as retaining them. Graduates and unemployed are facing the same problem from their perspective, they state it is becoming more and more difficult to find a position matching their knowledge and experience. These problems add to reduced competitiveness and productivity, an increased employee turnover as well as low employee engagement. In many cases employers report their applicants lack soft and generic skills such as interpersonal skills, professionalism and a learning mind-set. The hiring process needs to be designed for a diversified candidate base, what an automated system alone is not able to process and analyse. The goal of this paper is to focus on researching the standards of hiring processes in multinational enterprises and is trying to find out whether the automatization of the recruitment processes has had a negative impact in finding the suitable fit for both the employee and employer.
