Online Recruitment, How to Recruit During Covid-19

Maybe no one thought that finally the online recruitment process – including candidate interviews – became the new normal for all HR practitioners and recruiters in the world. Supporting digital media such as laptops, smartphones, strong networks, and online connecting software are increasingly experiencing innovation and making these changes easier.

Exploration of the digital environment is nothing new for the HR sector. Online interviews are often an option when it is not possible for the employer and candidate to conduct face-to-face interviews, such as inter-country interviews. Likewise with the online recruitment process.

Online recruitment is a term for the recruitment process starting from the posting of job advertisements, candidate search, interview sessions, admissions, to onboarding , all done online. Do not be surprised, because everything has been possible to do online since the first. However, for HRD, in-person interviews are indeed more prioritized for a more objective assessment.

Talking about interviews, if posting job advertisements and searching for candidates is commonplace online, it is slightly different from an interview session. Currently, along with the development of an all-digital lifestyle (especially with the pandemic situation), the interview method is also divided into two, namely one-way and two-way.

Tips for Running Online Recruitment

Check The Company Profile

When was the last time you updated the company website and the information on it? If you are going to run the online recruitment process to its full potential, then consider updating the company website. Why? Because the candidate has a habit of checking the company's identity through its company website.

So, don't hesitate to update your website information and add information that is able to attract the attention of candidates. For example, adding testimonials of employees who work at the current company.

Choose a Trusted Job Portal

Now that you've updated your company website, you're more confident in attracting candidates' attention. Next is the time to choose where to post vacancies so that you can get the right candidate?

There are more than ten job portals in Indonesia that are active in providing information about candidates. You can make job advertisements on all candidate search sites, but you should choose a trusted job portal. You can also choose a place with a specific industry such as logistics.

Pay attention to the contents of the posted job advertisements

Like making online job advertisements, the key lies in creativity. The creativity in question is being clever in arranging sentences so that they are short but easy to understand for many people, as well as provoking the candidate's curiosity about your company.

The difference is, if you carry out the following processes online, it may be increasingly difficult to find candidates who truly meet expectations. Consider your competitors doing the same or better than your ad, then you need to think creatively even more.

Online Interview Session Preparation

This is a very tricky process to do. In preparation, recruiters should use an application such as Google Calendar, which is able to manage schedules online properly. Not only that, make sure all the interview supporting instruments such as earphones or speakers, internet network, etc. go well at least 15-30 minutes before the interview starts.

Furthermore, during the interview, because there are definitely many elements that are difficult to assess, HRD must learn online interview techniques beforehand. For example, do you use one-way or two-way interviews, what form of assessment needs to be given, etc.
