As ODAŞ, we operate in more than one field in different sectors. In this context, the talents we value most include candidates who can solve the problems encountered in the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) world, develop alternative ways, are open to development and have high conceptual thinking skills. According to data from Mercer Global Talent Trends Survey, digital skills, leadership, problem solving and innovation skills stand out among the skills sought in today's business world. In particular, data analytics, project management and flexibility skills are at the forefront. In today's world where digitalisation is accelerating, talents with data-driven thinking, digital literacy and the ability to use artificial intelligence technologies are among the most sought-after talents in our sector, as in every sector.
Digital transformation is one of the key objectives of every organisation and continues to gain importance rapidly. Future goals and investments are generally planned to accelerate and prioritise this transformation. In every field, systematic infrastructures are being strengthened, software and system being developed in line with business processes, and the focus should be on taking people out of operations as much as possible and using them in areas where they can be more efficient.
With digital transformation, process development, conceptual thinking and result-oriented problem solving skills are becoming increasingly important. Talents who are digitally literate, who don’t accept business processes as they are, who question opportunities for improvement and increase efficiency are sought after in every organisation. However, it’s difficult to find talent in critical areas of digital transformation such as software development, data analytics, digital marketing and cyber security. The shortage of talent in these areas brings the need to increase efficiency and improve operational processes through properly designed software and systems. According to the 2024 HR Trends Survey, employees with digital skills, especially those who can apply artificial intelligence technologies, are among the priority needs. Problem solving, process development and conceptual thinking skills are also become increasingly important.
Along with our investments in tourism, our recruitment continues. For our hotel due to open in 2025, we aim to recruit employees who have a strong understanding of customer service, can use digital marketing and hotel management software effectively, and can produce innovative solutions to increase customer satisfaction. At the same time, we want to continue the Management Trainee (MT) Program, which we started in the electricity generation group, in other groups.
As ODAŞ, we’ve transitioned the face-to-face interviews in recruitment process to an online format to utilize time and resources more effectively and act faster.
For a candidate whose interview process has been completed positively and for whom we are preparing to make an offer, we conduct a reference research with 2 people from professional business life and complete the process in this way. Hearing some of the points we observe in the interview from people she/he has worked with before and supporting them with examples creates a much healthier process.
We believe that it is not just the employer who is choosing the right person for themselves ,the professionals who are carrying out the recruitment process also have a responsibility for the candidates and should question whether it is the right decision for them as well.
