How to Improve Your Virtual Hiring Process

If you’re looking to improve your virtual hiring processes, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure that you are creating the best quality hiring experience for your candidates, and secure the best candidates for your business.

Create Engaging Adverts

As virtual hiring processes are conducted exclusively online, creating job advertisements that are engaging and curated to attract the talent you need for your company will help you to find the best candidates.

To do this, make sure to highlight all the important roles and responsibilities of the position, with an emphasis on the areas that require the most focus and dedication from the ideal candidate.

If there are any significant deal breakers in the contract – for example, night shifts or car ownership, ensure to include these as well. This will help to deter unenthusiastic or underqualified candidates.

 

Use Psychometric Testing

Psychometric testing is used widely across the virtual recruitment industry, and can be incredibly useful for screening applicants, particularly if you have a large number of applications for a single position.

There are varying types of psychometric testing, but most of them will broadly assess topics like verbal and numerical reasoning, personality and situational judgement. Typically the highest scoring candidates overall are viewed as being the strongest candidates for the role.

Studies have shown that over 75% of the Top 100 companies in the UK and over 80% of Fortune 500 companies in the US are using psychometric testing, showing that there is a direct correlation between the use of the software, and company success.

 

Auto-Schedule Communication and Interviews

One of the biggest advantages of virtual recruitment strategies like Oleeo is the ability to be able to auto-schedule interviews and communication with each candidate.

This helps to ensure that the recruitment process can progress as quickly and efficiently as possible, and ensures that you no longer need to spend time on administrative tasks.
