K
aspersky Lab is opening a transparency
centre in Madrid which will serve as a
trusted facility for the company’s partners
and government stakeholders to come and
check source code of the company’s products.
In addition to being a code review facility,
the new centre will function as a briefing
centre where guests will be able to learn more
about Kaspersky Lab’s engineering and data
processing practices. The centre will open
for its first visitors in June. The new centre
is being opened as part of the company’s
Global Transparency Initiative – a set of
measures being brought to life in order
to fulfil growing demand from partners
and government stakeholders for more
information on how the Kaspersky Lab’s
products and technologies work.
Since the company opened its first
transparency centre in Zurich in November
2018, it has been receiving requests from
business customers to learn more about how
it is transparent, including queries on product
functionality and data processing. Along with
being a place to undertake ‘standard’ source
code review, the Spanish facility will also
serve as a briefing centre, where visitors can
learn more about the company’s portfolio,
engineering and data processing practices.
This information will be delivered in an easily
accessible way. The company has developed
a review system, offering multiple options
that adjust in line with what visitors are
specifically interested in learning about. This
system offers multiple review options, from
a general non-technical overview of the
company’s engineering practices and data
protection standards, through to a deep and
comprehensive review of the critical parts of
the company’s source code.

The company is digitising its
recruitment process
I
nfor, a global leader in business cloud
software specialised by industry, has
announced that Courtepaille Group has
chosen predictive recruitment solution,
Infor Talent Science, to significantly
reduce the turnover rate of its waiters
and restaurant managers, a volatile and
difficult population to retain.
With a yearly turnover rate of nearly 60%,
the company is facing a critical recruitment
problem, notably related to the difficulty
of finding motivated candidates to join
the catering sector and to the significant
number of vacant posts each year:
1,000 new candidates to be recruited for
approximately 1,500 existing posts.
Erwan Jalinier, HR Director, Courtepaille
Group, said: “While our industry is facing
a chronic labour shortage, market
expectations are constantly evolving
towards a global customer experience,
which is becoming more and more
demanding. In this context, the difficulty
of finding new candidates has become
a sensitive point. For these reasons,
we decided to open our recruitment
campaigns to inexperienced profiles,
including those outside the catering
sector, because we are convinced that
the versatility of our organisation, as
well as our family business culture,
are attractive and fundamental
characteristics which can allow us to
train and develop new talents.”
To be able to accelerate and improve
the process of candidate selection,
Courtepaille opted for Infor Talent
Science, a solution recognised worldwide
for its relevance and proven results in the
hospitality (and catering) industry.
At first, the solution will be deployed as
an entry key, based on a questionnaire
that will be submitted by each
candidate, to identify whether he/she
has the behavioural characteristics and
motivation required to succeed as a
waiter or a manager in the restaurant.
Infor’s tool will enable their managers
to rely on tangible data to make better
decisions, in terms of both recruitment
and internal career evolution. The goal
is to improve the relevance of candidate
interviews, streamline the diversity of
the recruited profiles and propose more
effective training and integration courses.
