Carlos, who has held management positions in large transnational companies, now runs his own company focused on consulting, talent management and recruiting.

Carlos shares crucial insights about leadership, emphasizing the importance of closeness with team members as a key element for effective leadership. According to Carlos, technical talent is not enough if it is not accompanied by a true human connection.

In this episode, the topic of whether or not to outsource recruitment processes is also discussed. Carlos argues that although many companies can manage these processes internally, sometimes it is more efficient and profitable to outsource them, especially for specialized positions. Although the decision varies by company, the organizational culture and the needs of the moment are crucial factors to consider.

Addressing the issue of internal opportunities versus external hires, Carlos indicates that large corporations tend to encourage internal growth, while smaller companies or companies with specialized needs tend to look for external talent. The key here is alignment between company culture, the development of your human resources department, and the specific needs of the business.

One of the most relevant aspects of the video is the focus on the changing role of human resources, especially in times of pandemic. Carlos points out that human resources areas must be more than transactional; They must be aligned with the business strategy and prepared to adapt to rapid changes, especially in the context of digital transformation.
