Virtual Reality Boosts Recruitment Success in Luxembourg, Cuts Turnover by Over 30%

In Luxembourg, virtual reality (VR) is no longer just for gaming—it is transforming recruitment. For more than a year, Arhis HR Solutions, a recruitment and temp agency, has been using VR headsets to give candidates an immersive look at their future workplaces in the industrial sector.
“Before even starting their mission, candidates can walk through the factory floor virtually, experience the noise, and understand the conditions,” explained David Violetti, Managing Director of Arhis HR Solutions and the driving force behind the project. “This way, they know exactly what to expect, with no unpleasant surprises.”
The results speak for themselves: the company has recorded a 30–35 percentage point drop in turnover rates since introducing VR. While turnover has not disappeared completely, Violetti says the technology prevents wasted time for both workers and employers by ensuring better job fit from the outset.
Beyond recruitment, the potential of VR goes further. Violetti notes it could also be used for safety training, immersing workers in simulated workshop scenarios with hidden hazards to test their reactions and readiness.
Interestingly, the initiative also appeals to younger job seekers who are already comfortable with digital tools. “We’re using a technology that speaks their language,” Violetti added.

Luxembourg’s experiment with VR in recruitment mirrors a growing global trend of blending technology with human resources—offering a glimpse into how future workplaces might combine efficiency, engagement, and safety.
