The Rise Of Agile Work Practices In Talent Acquisition

The Rise of Agile Work Practices in Talent Acquisition

Agile HR is the application of “agility” to the function of Human Resource Management.

Agility here means developing nimble & responsive management practices that involve constant feedback loops, and teams working in short work cycles & engaging in frequent retrospectives.

The concept of “agile-methodology” came into being during the 1990s in the area of software development. The developers wanted a flexible (agile) solution for the stumbling blocks they were facing in the process of software development.

Over time, it has become a widely recognized management method across various functions, departments, and industries, adopting a proactive approach rather than a reactive one.
