The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many organisations to adapt to a new way of hiring. With social distancing measures in place, traditional in-person interviews and assessments have become challenging. At NeatHire, we understand that this new remote hiring process can present unique challenges, especially when relocating and adjusting to a different culture. But we are here to support our clients in navigating this new landscape.
One of the biggest challenges of a remote hiring process is conducting virtual interviews. It can be difficult to gauge a candidate’s personality and fit with the company culture without the ability to meet in person. To overcome this challenge, NeatHire suggests conducting more than one virtual interview and virtual assessments and tests that can provide a more in-depth understanding of the candidate’s skills and abilities.
Another challenge of remote hiring is assessing a candidate’s skills remotely. In-person assessments such as practical assignments or work samples can be difficult to replicate virtually. To overcome this challenge, NeatHire suggests using online assessments and tests designed to evaluate a candidate’s skills and abilities.
Onboarding new hires can also be challenging in a remote hiring process, especially when relocating and adjusting to a different culture. In-person onboarding can be replaced by virtual onboarding, but it’s essential to ensure that new hires have the necessary resources and support to succeed in their new role. NeatHire suggests creating a virtual onboarding plan that includes training, regular check-ins, and access to resources and support. We also provide orientation and cultural training to help new hires adapt to the unique culture and environment.
In conclusion, a remote hiring process can present unique challenges, but the right approach can also open up new opportunities. At NeatHire, we understand the challenges of remote hiring, and we are here to support our clients in navigating this
