With the Covid 19 health crisis, human resources have seen their profession change. With the impossibility of meeting candidates face to face, remote recruitment has become essential. What are the challenges and trends to follow regarding online recruitment? How can companies adapt to remain attractive to candidates?
An attractive job offer
In recent years, the employer/candidate relationship has been disrupted. Wanting to give a more personal meaning to their professional activity, candidates are now looking for companies that share their values.
In order to find the job offers that correspond to them, candidates use new connected tools, and do in-depth research on the companies for which they are applying thanks to job boards, social networks and mobile applications.
There are many ways to learn about companies, and no candidate is deprived of them. The challenge for recruiters? Make their company attractive, thanks to authentic job offers. The objective is simple: to attract and seduce the best candidates. But be careful, because the presentation you make of your company must indeed correspond to reality. To attract and then keep your new recruits, and avoid seeing them turn to a company that better meets their needs and their value, it is sometimes the whole organization that must be transformed.
What matters to applicants?
In some fields, such as IT or digital, there are often more job offers than applicants.
Remote recruitment must no longer be content with posting descriptive job offers online. From now on, to really generate interest, companies will have to highlight their employer brand. The latter must reflect the identity of the company, and enhance its strengths with authenticity. In order to attract candidates, recruiters will have to highlight the company’s history, what makes up its DNA, its development projects, its CSR policy, or its environmental commitments…
Active people are now looking for positions that make them feel fulfilled, that leave room for confidence and autonomy. They no longer hesitate to change jobs to turn to a position that will have more meaning for them. It is then that the care given to the onboarding of new recruits, that is to say their integration, takes center stage. To achieve this, recruiters today can use onboarding software, which plays a fundamental role in the online recruitment process. Hiring documents, IT equipment, DPAE: thanks to this type of tool, you are sure that everything is ready on D-Day!
