What needs to change when trying to hire in a remote context? Learn how to hire and onboard effectively while keeping your distance and what to look for in a successful remote candidate.
Remote hiring can be just as effective as growing your team in person, but that doesn't mean you can do everything exactly as you would in the office. There's a skill to remote hiring that great HR professionals or hiring managers take into account when embarking on a fully online search. From how you communicate with candidates, to your strategy for interviewing, to how you onboard in a virtual environment, changing your talent acquisition approach to work in a virtual setting can help you hire faster and more effectively next time you need to fill an open role.
It's absolutely possible to make strong new hires while interviewing and hiring at a distance. The trick is knowing what parts of your regular hiring process to keep and which ones need to be adjusted. Making those changes can be the difference between a hiring mistake and finding a talented new employee, even if you can only meet them through a screen.
