Using digitalisation as a substitute for innovation

This can be of more questionable value. For example:

The L’Oreal digitalisation case study below.

Part of L’Oréal’s strategy of digitisation was a new mobile-only recruitment platform. Candidates were encouraged to send emoji applications via text. An HR spokesperson tweeted:

We want to allow candidates to really express themselves, to tell us about their career path and aspirations in the medium they are most comfortable with and to instantly share their experience with their peers. We believe this innovative approach holds great promise !!

L’Oréal’s intention to improve the candidate experience was met. But is’s questionable this digitisaiton made their graduate recruitment more efficient.
