Digital technology could be a game changer in promoting fair recruitment, preventing labour abuses, and ensuring safe and regular migration. The number of internet users around the globe continues to climb and the development of information and communications technologies (ICT) has been unprecedented since the onset of COVID-19. This has resulted in new digital products such as apps, websites and web portals, internet radio, and electronic tickets, including those aimed at workers at risk of exploitation. The knowledge hub convenes recruitment actors to discuss lessons learnt about promising innovative pilots that leverage digital technologies and unpack what challenges and opportunities that different tools and innovations can present.
