Ask & Share session on recruitment & L&D

How are recruitment and L&D connected?

That was the focus of one of our recent Ask & Share sessions at L&D Studio, featuring Vasiliki Kanellopoulou (Alumil) and Lina Valmas (she/her/hers) (senior HR and Customer Success leader). The 2 exchanged practices, challenges, and tools on:

➡️Skills-first recruitment and cultural fit

Assessing candidates not just for their current capabilities, but also for their growth potential and cultural alignment.

➡️Onboarding as a learning journey

Designing onboarding as a custom experience for maximum employee engagement (not just a checklist of logistics). A journey that introduces the organization as a whole, beyond the role, since every employee is also a brand ambassador.

(And yes, you can lose a new hire due to inadequate onboarding.)

➡️Internal mobility and development

Viewing internal mobility as a strategic path within the employee lifecycle and recognizing the critical role of upskilling in making it work.

Thank you Lina and Vasiliki for sharing your insights!
