3 Tips to hire employers after Covid
Are you looking to bring in a new workforce after coronavirus? Here are some steps and processes to consider.
Where are you recruiting?
It depends on your location, the nature of your business, and in some instances, what kind of recruits you want. Sometimes platforms, such as Indeed, LinkedIn, or ZipRecruiter, work. Other times, Craigslist or social media posts are a better fit. You might benefit from some trial and error — or work with an HR support organization to take care of these tasks for you.
How will you interview?
You have 2 options: in-person or remote.
The biggest difference during coronavirus is that a lot more small businesses will be interviewing remotely even for what will eventually be an in-person position. After all, if you end up needing to interview 10 people to find the one, that’s a lot of unnecessary in-person exposure. The most popular option for virtual chats of any kind has been Zoom, although Skype also remains popular. An old-fashioned phone interview can also work. It’s all about what feels best to you and what might be most appealing to the ideal candidate.
What about training?
Onboarding training might be an opportunity to start new hires remotely if you can provide video training modules. However, that’s not the right fit for every position — or employee. If you’re hiring for a position that requires a lot of interaction, a candidate might want that job because they don’t have to spend a lot of time alone looking at a screen.
Again, consider the final parameters of the role. Virtual onboarding training is a natural fit if the job is completely or mostly remote. If the role isn’t, you might want to adopt the latest safety procedures and restart your in-person onboarding process.
These are only the first steps to be able to incorporate new employees to your company. Once you have decided on these item, the hiring process continues. You will have to deal with legal issues, and other things that require time, and money. But don’t worry. Fortunately, there are companies like ROOTS that are in charge of making the hiring process more effective: saving time and money. Do you want to know more about us? Contact Us
