7 Tips for Hiring Post-Covid

 
It’s a hot topic in the Talent Acquisition field right now -- how to hire the best talent during a time when interviews, site visits, and onboarding often need to be done virtually. We turned to the experts at HR Technologist and Nasdaq to gather some great tips for hiring top talent in the midst of a pandemic.
 
Lean on HR Technology - According to HR Technologist, companies can streamline communications, productivity, and recruitment.
 
Turn to your current workforce - There has never been a better time to focus on the well-being of the talent you have, ensuring their engagement.
 
Embrace remote hiring - HR Technologist introduces the term ‘remote totality’ to mean attracting, screening, recruiting, and onboarding, all in a remote environment.
 
Clearly explain scope and requirements of telework - According to NASDAQ, with a huge increase in people searching for work-from-home jobs, it is important to lay out the scope of their work, including travel, client visits, etc.
 
Publicize your safety protocols - It is important to let prospective employees know that you value their well-being and are following all guidelines.
 
Consider unconventional work - Nasdaq suggests including new benefits appropriate to the current environment like complimentary grocery-delivery services or a wellness app.
 
Keep it social - A great idea from Nasdaq is to host a virtual happy hour for your employees, with each person expensing a dinner delivery on the company. Perks like this help keep the talent you have.
 
These are just a few of the tips you can find in these articles. Check them out for more insight. And, don’t forget Orion is here to help. We can handle the interview process for you, and recruit top talent for your high-volume, surge, or project-based needs. Contact us today!
