INTRODUCTION
As a Group, we want to attract, source, select and onboard high quality and diverse talent for today and tomorrow. In line with the People Engagement Journey, managers take the lead in the recruitment of a new member in their team: from the identification of the hiring need, throughout the decision on the recruitment and the onboarding of a new team member. This leader's led approach is supported by My HR Services as the digital platform to enable automation and optimization of the process.
HR teams do continue to play a crucial role in supporting managers in these processes. Find out more details on the different recruitment related processes and your HR role below.

Hiring Dates Guidelines & Exception Management
Being effective on the 2nd of May, hiring dates are standardized as follows:
for employees under a weekly and bi-weekly payroll and semi-monthly for the USA, the hiring will occur on Mondays;
