Why Gabriel choose Talentech's Recruitment and Talent Management system

For Gabriel, which prior to the collaboration with Talentech had neither an HR nor a recruitment system, it was particularly important to implement professional systems that were intuitive and user-friendly for all users. It had to be simple to train other employees in using the systems. Moreover, it was crucial that the systems were 100% GDPR compliant and supported by the vendor, so that HR could quickly get help, answers to questions, and efficiently resolve any issues.

Increased data security and clear HR processes 

GDPR regulations marked the beginning of Gabriel's implementation of a GDPR-compliant HR platform. Gabriel has experienced significant growth in recent years, expanding from 75 to 1,200 employees in just a decade. This rapid expansion made it necessary to streamline recruitment processes and tools, along with a robust system to manage the increasing volumes of employee data. Gabriel started with Talentech's recruitment system and subsequently implemented the talent management system.

Automated and user-friendly HR processes centralized in one place

Gabriel started with the implementation of Talentech's recruitment system. After this, it was a natural step to proceed with the implementation of the talent management system. This way, Gabriel established a professional HR platform that enabled all HR processes to be managed in one place.

With the new HR platform, a range of processes that were previously managed manually were now automated, significantly reducing the time spent on administrative tasks. Additionally, the user-friendliness of the HR systems was crucial as it made it easy to start using the systems and thus also to create immediate value.

A scalable HR platform that streamlines processes and gives Gabriel the necessary control

With the integrated HR platform, Gabriel has now gained:

• A clear view of all HR processes, documents, and more, all in one place.
• Streamlined processes that ensure progress and strengthen internal collaboration.
• Secure user management ensuring appropriate data access control.
• Self-service functionality that give HR more time and resources to other HR tasks.
• Recruitment processes that make it easy to bulk invite and reject candidates. 
• Secure and efficient handling of employee data ensuring GDPR compliance.

A competent support department is valuable

For Gabriel, it was crucial that the vendor of their new HR systems also offered competent support—both during and after the implementation of the systems.
