Kompas Gramedia during Pandemic

The pandemic has fundamentally changed the recruitment world. Companies are forced to adapt and develop strategies that are able to attract candidates and talents to apply for available positions. Kompas is one of those affected. When the pandemic began to spread, Kompas experienced a decrease in the number of applicants due to the low frequency of job application activities. Not to mention, companies also have to face a transformation from conventional office work to a more efficient and accessible remote work environment. Kompas Gramedia has partnered with us since 2018 and implemented a technology-based recruitment process that can be done anywhere and anytime. Through Kalibrr, not only Kompas Gramedia can get access to recruit, but we also provide consultation to help our clients carry out recruitment activities to different levels.
