Since 2005, Senegal and China have developed painstaking efforts to flourish in win-win cooperation. However, the outcome of this collaboration is still under scrutiny due to several constraints in the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. This study examined how the Sino-Senegalese cooperation could be a mean for Senegalese SMEs to grow their businesses through competitive strategies. The purpose of the study was to explore practical uses of growth strategies that may enable the Senegalese SMEs to develop sustainably. We adopted an inductive research approach by using descriptive and interpretive statistical analysis methods. We explored the data using SPSS 16.0. We can summarize the findings as follows: (1) Senegalese SMEs in China face problems related to unstable government regulations; high money transaction costs and high tax rates rather than access to finance; (2) there is a high degree of informality among SMEs in Guangzhou and Yiwu despite the relatively high level of education of the SME managers; (3) they can incorporate many growth strategies in the management of their businesses concerning the idiosyncratic pitfalls we have identified in the research. The Ansoff matrix, innovative strategic moves, and strategic networking have shown to be important tools for the Senegalese SMEs operating in China to grow steadily and sustainably. A way to grasp the originality of this thesis is that many of the major works published in this field mainly focus on China’s strategy for Africa. We find less evidence in the literature for China’s presence in a resource-independent economy like Senegal. And by doing so, they barely mention the negative impacts of this cooperation, nor do they alleviate the opportunities and strategies that can be put forward for SMEs growth.

<p class="0abstract">In this paper, the authors explore the potential of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) as a recruitment tool, in particular whether Human Resources directors would be willing to use it during the recruitment and selection process. The ePortfolio presents, documents, reflects on, and fosters students’ skills, credentials, certificates and diverse formal and informal experiences in a structured and well-organized manner. Because the ePortfolio is, by nature, flexible and adaptable, an ePortfolio developed with the help of professors over the course of a students' studies can easily be incorporated into professional networking platforms as a job search tool and showcase the skills required for a successful applicant. It is often said that the difference between what is taught in the academic world and the practical skills that are required by the business sector make it difficult for students to access the labor market. The ePortfolio may help to reconcile both worlds. In order to examine whether Human Resources directors are willing to use an ePortfolio as a recruitment tool, a survey was carried out among fifty-two Human Resources directors. The research findings reveal that an educational ePortfolio can count on significant approval in the business sector. This research study is relevant as it provides valuable information on this topic and it is the only one to date, conducted among HR directors in the context of Spanish-speaking countries.</p>

Recruitment is one of the main pillars for the proper functioning of a healthy environment, which meets its objectives and is a process coordinated by the human resources department, together with the respective managers for each position. The recruitment process consists in promoting vacancies using the most appropriate channels, means and tools to maximize the attraction rate of the most suitable candidates, as addressability and accessibility within the target group of potential applicants to meet almost all the conditions. and the criteria set out in the profile of the ideal candidate. There is an acute need for skills in a labor market that demands competitiveness as soon as possible. The most important thing that managers and leaders do in an organization is to hire the right people for the right job. At present, the recruitment process has become very dynamic and is constantly changing. We are currently facing an impressive increase in the use of technology and automation in almost every aspect of the recruitment industry. Undoubtedly, the automation of the recruitment process and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms in these systems has brought a number of benefits and changed the way candidates are selected. The authors of the article aim to conduct a bibliographic research to illustrate the current state of human resources management and the methods adopted in its optimization. The latest trends in this field are researched and the main challenges that appear are exposed. There are presented the means used to maintain employees within the organizations and increase their productivity. The collected data are interpreted and a model of systematization of the recruitment process is proposed using process modeling, for an easier implementation. In conclusion, it is found that the role of recruiters will change through the adoption on a larger scale of solutions to automate the process of search and selection of candidates. Although the benefits of recruiting automation could outweigh the arguments against it, it is prudent for recruiters to combine technology with the human factor in the selection process of the right candidate. The most important strategic challenge in HR for companies is to maintain a high level of employee involvement, which is difficult to achieve only through technology.

O desligamento de colaboradores pode gerar um alto custo com variáveis que poderiam ser evitadas, como: gasto com admissões e demissões, processo seletivo, contratação, treinamento e pagamento de encargos (BORGES E RAMOS, 2007). Além disso, a empresa pode sofrer por falta de mão-de-obra, não alcançar as metas de produção e gerar excesso de serviço para os demais funcionários. A partir dessa conjuntura se reconhece a importância de reter talentos para ser mais competitivo e evitar prejuízos.
