How can recruitment, onboarding and working with the UN Sustainable Development Goals be combined?
Most HR managers know that recruitment and employee development go hand in hand. Once the hard work of finding the right person for the job is over, a long and hopefully strong partnership begins where company and employee develop together.
In the same way, it is important that a small new tree that is planted is cared for and nurtured so that it can grow big and strong. Without care, water and light, it won't grow - in the same way a new employee won't develop without good onboarding and dialog.

Elvium Tree Planting Program
Elvium has partnered with a number of strong and highly reliable organizations that ensure tree planting in many different parts of the world.
Planting trees helps safeguard our climate. The trees we plant in collaboration with the Global Climate Institute, WeForest and WIF in the first part of the project are mangrove trees planted in Myanmar. A mangrove tree binds about 4 times as much CO2 as regular trees.

Plant a tree when you hire an employee
Elvium invites all new and existing customers to join the project so that every time an employee is hired through the platform, we plant a tree! Certificates are issued with serial numbers and GPS coordinates of the planted trees so that the project can be followed at all times.
Imagine that as part of your welcome package for a new employee, you can include a certificate of the tree you planted because they have been hired.
The Tree Planting Program supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal: Climate Action and is executed in close collaboration with the Global Climate Institute.
CEO, Jesper Andersen: "We recently hired a new employee who was very interested in working with CSR - both internally at Elvium, but also to create a model that our customers could benefit from as part of their own CSR strategy. The idea became the Elvium Tree Planting Program, which allows for both."

Gender equality
"Equal rights for all candidates" is an integral part of the philosophy behind Elvium's recruitment system, as candidates are assessed based on education, work experience and qualifications - automatically and objectively.
We support gender equality as ethics in the hiring process is crucial to us. And it doesn't stop here: neither gender, age, genetics, sexual preference, religion, skin color or appearance should or must be part of the selection criteria in a hiring process.
Many would argue that it shouldn't be possible to treat applicants on a completely equal footing, as just a first name or photo will reveal possible biases such as gender or ethnicity.
Jesper Andersen, Director at Elvium says: "We believe it is possible when a recruitment system with automatic sorting is used, where requirements for education, work experience, screening questions and skills are included in an objective assessment of the candidates. When the candidate field is considered objectively based on the requirements, we can guarantee a first ranking on equal terms. This is a fair start to good recruitment."
The system behind the automatic and objective sorting is called Elvium Smart Ranking and supports the UN's 5th Sustainable Development Goal: Gender Equality.
