Anna Golsa, CEO of Eurofirms Group, shares in an interview with El Mundo our vision of one of the main challenges facing today’s labour market: the real issue is not a lack of talent, but finding the right match between people and companies.
In a context where more than 150,000 vacancies remain unfilled while the unemployment rate exceeds 10%, Anna highlights that talent exists, but organisations need to improve the way they connect with people. This reflection summarises the way we understand talent management at Eurofirms and what we have been putting into practice for more than 35 years: while others read CVs, we find people.
Companies need to look beyond the CV
Companies need to look beyond the CV to find the ideal match. This is one of the key ideas highlighted in the interview, where Anna Golsa explains how recruitment processes have evolved towards a model that focuses on aspects that go beyond experience and qualifications. In fact, 89% of hiring mistakes originate from factors that do not appear on a CV. Attributes such as attitude, adaptability, values, motivations and alignment with company culture are becoming increasingly important in ensuring successful, sustainable hires that have a positive business impact.
That is why matching has become a strategic variable for organisations. A hire aligned with a company’s culture and needs can increase productivity by 21%. In addition, in projects developed using our methodology, this approach has helped reduce absenteeism by almost 20% and turnover by up to 53%, demonstrating the impact that effective talent management can have on business performance.
AI in the service of people and workplace matching
Achieving the ideal match also means recognising the growing role that technology and artificial intelligence play in recruitment.
At Eurofirms, we are committed to inclusive AI that helps us streamline processes, reduce repetitive tasks and minimise bias, always with one clear objective: enabling our teams to spend more time understanding people and connecting each profile with the project where they can develop their full potential.
