The project.
RE-CREW is an Erasmus+ project that lasts 24 months. The project began in September 2022 and will end in August 2024. The project was created as the pandemic and other issues made it even more challenging for many business leaders to find the people, they need to run a successful small business.
The pandemic, apart from imposing a new approach to work, has accentuated some typical limits of small organizations, such as the lack of structured HR policies, especially when it comes to hiring new employees.
Low visibility – due to poor or non-existent employer branding strategies – combined with the lack of necessary recruiting skills (analysis of human resource needs, organization of recruitment processes, personnel management policies that do not seem adequate, etc.) made small businesses uncompetitive and unattractive compared to big companies.
RE-CREW aims to address the above by offering an innovative set of digital tools to enable the small businesses to re-organise themselves, effectively meet the new labor market challenges and grow in a sustainable way.

The partnership consists of 6 organisations from Denmark, Greece, Italy, Spain, Norway, and Slovenia, which are the following:
