Remote Working
We’ve had a lot of changes in our lives in the last year caused by the global pandemic with the fast implementation of remote working, juggling the demands of caring and home-schooling whilst expecting to continue with our work duties.
We’ve had a taste of flexibility now and it’s here to stay. Remote working will remain one of the most sought-after criteria for jobseekers now, and surveys of workforces across multiple sectors that have been forced to ask their employees to work from home have had overwhelmingly positive responses about the new autonomy people have over their working day.
Companies are quickly recognising that there is certainly a need for more flexible working going forward and it’s good to see businesses recognise this as an opportunity.
Virtual Interviews
We’ve all been using Zoom for our family and friend get togethers over the last year, and interviewing has had no exceptions. It’s a really convenient way to replicate the interview environment from the comfort of your own home, saving both time and money. Although there’s nothing quite like a face-to-face interaction – a virtual first impression isn’t a bad second place. We think they are definitely here to stay in and play a part in 2021, and beyond.
Social Media Recruiting
Over the last year we’ve all either been glued to our phones or Netflix, in-between baking banana bread and home-schooling that is! Scrolling through social media is now the everyday norm, and hiring has shot up massively over the course of the last year. Tags, likes and shares mean a lot in today’s modern world, and the better the brand presence, the more likely you are to attract and retain the best staff.
