Recruitment Process: Successful Hiring in 2021
You must be puzzled with the title.
"What’s the difference of doing recruitment in 2021 compared to the previous years?"
Let’s see, the global pandemic has impacted the way we live. Surely it not only changed our daily life (hey, wear your mask when you're outside and avoid crowded places okay?) but also it has changed our professional life. Companies are adapting to the new norms as the government has been encouraging work from home to minimize physical contact. Technology has also been utilized in conducting operations to ensure smooth operation.
The hiring and recruiting process are also included.
Pretty sure the hiring team has been thinking of the best way to make sure they can bring top talent into their company. Not to worry, here we will share some tips on how to ensure your recruitment process runs smoothly during these tough times.
#1 Determine New Hiring Goals
Let’s say that previously, you are running a retail shop. Due to the pandemic, you have started to shift your business culture to online retail instead to adapt to the situation. The skills that you’re looking for in hiring people to join your team will differ, obviously. Maybe before this, you’ll look for someone who has great verbal communication skills but now you prioritize people that are tech-savvy and know how to use social media to promote your products. You may need a web developer as well as you’re going online. By this example, it shows that it is important to revise back the organization's hiring goals to ensure it fits the latest situation.
#2 Choose the Right Hiring Tools
Choosing the right hiring tools is the crucial step in ensuring your recruitment process becomes smooth. We need to balance the company’s budget, onboarding period and quality of candidates into consideration. Other than using a job posting platform, using headhunting services is also another option for employers. Confused about which one to use?
