Recruitment and HR system supports Ditur’s explosive growth
The Danish company Ditur, which sells wristwatches, has quickly grown to 85 employees and hired 70 new team members in just one year. Simone Garbenfeldt, HR Business Partner, previously managed HR tasks manually, but now they have strengthened their processes with HR-ON. With more hires on the horizon, the company needs a robust recruitment and HR system. That’s why they chose HR-ON, which offers both solutions.
“The reason we chose HR-ON is that we saw a great match between the way HR-ON operates and Ditur operates. HR-ON’s methods and approach align perfectly with our company DNA,” says Simone Garbenfeldt.
Easier to manage GDPR compliance
HR-ON Recruit has significantly streamlined the HR Business Partner’s recruitment process. Previously, Simone Garbenfeldt managed applications manually via emails, but this has now been replaced by a system with multiple benefits.
“It’s easier to communicate with managers now that we share access to the system. They can access it themselves, and we can correspond internally,” explains Garbenfeldt.
The major differences in how Ditur handled recruitment before versus now are noticeable on several levels. The differences from Ditur’s previous approach are evident, from setting up job postings to tools that ensure GDPR compliance. This digitalization has made the recruitment process more efficient and easier to comply with legal requirements.
Data security with peace of mind
Ditur has simplified recruitment and enhanced data security with HR-ON Staff, which consolidates all employee data. Simone Garbenfeldt appreciates the increased security:
“Previously, I had all our employee data in an Excel sheet, and it’s not always 100 percent reliable. Human error can occur when it’s stored that way. So for me, using HR-ON Staff has meant that we have data security,” says Simone Garbenfeldt.
Simone Garbenfeldt also enjoys improved reporting and digital signatures, as well as the Engagement Builder for surveys: “You can create Engagement with employees, which I see as the future; having this online universe where you can involve employees even before they start.”
Good onboarding is a win-win
For Simone Garbenfeldt, HR is about ensuring employee well-being and fostering a strong connection between the company and its staff. She views HR-ON Staff as a key partner in strengthening this connection and expects them to be invaluable in the process.
“For me, good onboarding is about being present and ensuring that employees feel well-integrated. Another area we focus heavily on is preboarding, where HR-ON Staff will be a great help. It’s important to maintain contact before the start date so that new hires are excited about beginning their job,” she says.
“At HR-ON, they stand out by offering many solutions in one package. This is very appealing to me. You get all the different functions that you would typically have separate systems for, but can now consolidate into one system. This brings significant value to us,” says Simone Garbenfeldt.
