Remote hiring is an essential even post-pandemic to growing businesses with global footprints. Here’s some top tips to help you grow your team remotely.
Clear communication
Communication is key whilst you fine-tune your new interview process. It may be quite simple for you to move over to remote interviews but if not, make sure you decide how the calls will take place (phone, video) and whether you’ll use third party assessment tools too. Sharing detailed information on the process will give your potential employee plenty of time to prepare.
Include employee testimonials
As you will not be able to walk prospective new team members around your office, this is a great way to get your workplace culture across. Have some stories from your various employees at different career levels to share. This will give them a genuine insight into your company. You could consider looping one of your employees into a call too so they can talk about their experiences in more detail and have a Q&A.
Describe your way of working in detailÂ
We’re all operating under a new normal so we would suggest giving an idea of a typical day for an employee at your company. How do your processes work? If you’re hoping to make a hire soon, what would their working day from home be like? Aim to be as transparent as possible so they know what to expect. Make sure you mention your benefits package too.
Split the interview into sectionsÂ
If you’re hiring in Tech, you could split your interviews as so:
-
- Culture
- Pair programming
- Computational foundations
- System design
- Leadership & Management
