Virtual Job Interview Tips for Recruiters!💻🙂

Having a virtual recruiting program allows companies to make faster and more cost-effective hiring decisions with less disruption to the business.

A virtual interview guide helps to provide a positive virtual candidate experience by giving candidates the information they need to succeed during your recruiting and hiring process.

How to Prepare for a Virtual Interview?

Prepare your candidates
Give them all the details well ahead of time regarding which platform you'll be using, in case they have questions or technical issues. Not everyone has the latest electronic technology, so be flexible if they're unable to comply with certain technical specifications, and be ready to switch to a different virtual method.

Minimize distractions
If you were in your regular place of business instead of at home, your cat wouldn't be crawling all over your lap, and your kids wouldn't be calling to you from the other room. Set the right environment for yourself. Not only in regards to making sure you are well lit but also making sure your environment is free of distraction. This could mean leaving your phone in another room or closing all unnecessary tabs on your browser.

Familiarize yourself with the platform
Whether it's Zoom, BlueJeans, or Skype, take the time to familiarize yourself with the video interview platform that you’ll be using. If you’re unsure which platform the employer uses, feel free to ask your recruiter when they are outlining the next steps to you.

Cut candidates a little slack
Not everyone is as comfortable in front of a video monitor as they are in front of an actual person. If they seem a little awkward, remember that it could be a product of the unusual situation that we're all dealing with right now.

Keep professionalism consistent
A video conference interview is still one of the candidate’s first interactions with your firm. Therefore, it’s important that you communicate your corporate culture in explicit and implicit ways. Codes of dress, appearance, conduct, and so forth should stay consistent.

Be prepared for lag time
Always leave a few seconds’ gaps between your interviewer speaking and your response. If the sound or video cuts down, don’t be afraid to politely ask your interviewer to repeat themselves.

The Importance Of Team Building! 🤓🤝

Team building activities are essential to establishing a corporate culture where people enjoy coming to work, collaborate easily, and trust each other. It’s no secret that teams that trust each other work better.

Keeping your team members engaged and happy through team building is an easy way to ensure your company's goals are met.
Let’s get into some reasons that underline the importance of team building for your organization:

Inspiring innovative ideas
When you bring your team together and people get along, great ideas froth to the top. Companies with an open floor plan where creative types sit and interact daily foster new innovations. The best examples are Facebook or Google.

Improving productivity metrics
When a team is getting along, office stress is reduced and energy is freed up to work. A direct result of spending time and money to build your team is productivity. Plus, when the workload gets heavy, a team works together to get the job done. The result is a more efficient system where everyone is contributing optimally.

Help induct new employees
Onboarding new employees can be quite a challenge. A really fun and simple way to make them feel a part of the team is to create time for a team-building experience where they can get to know their co-workers quickly. The relaxed social environment of a team-building event will make it easier for new employees to form connections with people from across the company in different departments.

Improve the bottom line
Team building has a direct impact on the profits of a company. If your people are unhappy, you’ll find yourself having to look for new ones more often as they quit and look for better roles. Keeping retention high will keep your profits high, as recruiting and training new employees is a very expensive and time-consuming process.

Connect remote teams
Remote team building has the power to build stronger relationships which will, in turn, improve productivity, retention, engagement, and morale, and shouldn’t be overlooked. Team building is a great excuse to pull members of teams together who may not always work closely during their day-to-day responsibilities.

Hopefully, by this point, the importance of team building on a regular basis should be abundantly clear. Not only will it make for a happier, more productive team, but it will also be great for the bottom line of the business.

Employer Branding 📈👏🏻

When it comes to the term “branding” we probably all generally think more about the marketing side. Things like company logo, brand messaging, and how a company might be perceived by consumers.

Employer branding is simply a company’s reputation as an employer and the value it brings or what it offers to its employees.

In other words, employer branding is how you market your company to job seekers and internal employees. The better you are at employer branding, the more likely you are to attract top talent. Additionally, a positive employer brand can also help you retain top talent.

Why is An Employer Branding Strategy Is Important?
- A good employer brand can reduce turnover rates by 28%, and cut your costs-per-hire by half.
- When making a decision on where to apply for a job, 84% of job seekers say the reputation of a company as an employer is important
- 9 out of 10 candidates would apply for a job when it’s from an employer brand that’s actively maintained
- 50% of candidates say they wouldn’t work for a company with a bad reputation – even for a pay increase

How to Build an Employer Brand?
- Conduct an employer brand audit.
You can’t hope to influence or manage your employer brand if you don’t know what people think about you, so an employer brand audit is the first step.

- Know your company's unique value proposition.
To create a powerful employer brand, it's critical you start by focusing on your company's mission statement, values, vision, and culture. It could be helpful to identify what your business needs are and then work backward to understand what type of talent you need to acquire to fulfill those objectives.

- Craft your employee value proposition
The EVP is the “people deal” that exists between an organization, its employees, and the talent it’s looking to recruit. It answers two important questions: What are the career expectations of today’s talent? What are your company’s strategic objectives?

- Be proactive on career sites
Many times, companies forget about places like Glassdoor, which allows employees and former employees to be very candid about their experiences. What people have to say and the lack of company engagement can raise a red flag to potential applicants. As part of your employer branding strategy, your company should spend time addressing negative comments.

- Be active on social – it matters a lot for hiring. Social media helps recruiters and HR find the best candidates for a given position. LinkedIn, for example, is a huge outlet for finding the right professionals and makes it easy to see if someone is a great fit.

Yet, as mentioned earlier in this post, people also talk about companies and share their content. And others trust recommendations from friends, family, and colleagues over the company leaders that say the same thing.

Employer branding isn’t easy, and there’s no sense in rushing the process. Once you’ve tackled these items, you’ll be able to dive into more advanced employer branding projects.

Picking A Recruitment Agency ✍🏻📊

Knowing how to choose a recruitment agency is important for employers and job seekers alike. A great recruitment agency will help match the most qualified job seeker with the job opening best suited for their skills.

Follow this 4-step process to choose the best recruiting agency for your hiring needs - and your budget!

Define your hiring needs
The first step in choosing the best recruitment agency is to clearly define your hiring needs. Do you need help hiring many, a few or just one employee? What kind of a position are you looking to fill? Permanent or temporary? Entry-level or executive-level?

Look for an agency that is specialized in your field.
Certain recruitment agencies are more geared towards certain professions, while others are more generalized. If you are seeking a job in information technology, one agency might have more potential employers than another.

Check the expertise.
To choose a final winning recruitment agency, compare the quality of your top competitors’ work. Pay special attention to their guarantee period and terms. Search for and study their client list. Check if they have a positive social media presence. You can also check their status on recruitment agencies top lists and review sites from different sources.

Check affordability.
Finding the best recruitment agency is useless if you can’t afford its services. Most recruitment agencies have the general information listed on their websites. However, to get a more precise and detailed information, you’ll probably need to contact them. Prepare a list of a few agencies of the appropriate type and send them an inquiry. Ask for detailed information about their services, terms and price.
