Why remote recruiting?
Remote recruiting isn’t going away—to the benefit of both companies and job applicants. Here are some of the advantages:
- More options. No need to interview people in just one geographic region—find prospective hires in other cities, states, or even countries. Applicants, too, don’t need to restrict themselves to jobs close to home. They can find work they love in places they never thought possible.
- Increase productivity. Screen, interview, and hire more candidates with advanced recruitment software. Streamline the hiring process with video conferencing software or remote recruiting tools, and you’ll get face to face with more great applicants.
- Save time. No need to coordinate travel or bring hiring teams together for in-person meetings. With the right technology, the remote hiring process is more efficient and candidates are less likely to drop out. You’ll be able to retain top talent and get them on your team faster.
- More flexibility. Finding time to connect with prospective candidates is much easier when each party only needs a good internet connection. You’ll eliminate risky commutes, time zone conflicts, and scheduling issues. And applicants can fit meetings into their schedule instead of taking time away from existing obligations.
- Save money. Avoid travel costs with remote recruiting. And screen more applicants to find the right people (then avoid hiring mistakes). When you know you’ve found top talent, they’ll be worth the investment of onboarding and training, and they’ll find success in their new roles.
Remote recruiting may have become the norm by chance, but it’s changing the way organizations hire—for the better.
