Maintain the Status Quo With An Employer of Record
Coronavirus shaped the world dramatically, the biggest of which is the working sector. Businesses quickly adjust to a remote setup, new regulations implemented tackling the increase of remote workers; are just some examples of the drastic changes that the world experienced.
The entire hiring process of companies was modified to cater to remote work, and as such, employer of records (EOR) needed to adjust.
An employer of record is an organization that is responsible for hiring workers in a foreign country. They serve as the employers of the staff employed and are responsible for the payroll, termination, and establishing local entity.
Virtual Job Fairs
Employer of Records can potentially amass candidates by using virtual job fairs. These fairs are events where companies show what their organization is about while presenting opportunities for the attendees.
The difference between virtual and traditional job fairs is the complete online setup. With an online format, individuals can jump from one website to another from the comfort of their homes. Examples of virtual job fairs hosted by websites are vFairs and flexjobs.
Virtual Hiring
The difference between virtual hiring and virtual job fairs is that these fairs are events made possible by a different corporation. On the other hand, virtual hiring is entirely dependent on your online presence as a recruiter.
One way of increasing your online presence is by managing your website. By showcasing that you are open for candidates, individuals approach you with the intent of being hired.
Your website should not be the only place updated; social media is a must, specially tailored for hiring. LinkedIn, indeed, nexxt, jobcase are only some of these examples.
Interviews must also conduct through online means. Tools such as Zoom or Google Hangouts can be especially advantageous since these platforms are readily available for the public.
Prioritize Skills
Potential prospects must have the skills necessary for remote work. Self-discipline, accountability, and excellent time management are some of these skills.
