The role of HR is evolving quickly especially with changes brought about by COVID-19 (think remote hiring, virtual onboarding, split teams/ work from home etc.) HR professionals who want to future-proof their careers will have to start looking to value-add beyond what's stated in their initial job scopes.
As work is shifted online globally due to the pandemic, the biggest challenge faced by recruiters is replicating the connection built during in-person interactions online. This connection is important for two reasons: building a good candidate experience which improves your employer brand, and helping you to identify the right fit for your team.
The key challenge for both parties is getting a good mutual understanding of each other’s values, personality, and working style without meeting in-person.
HR professionals will also struggle with identifying the right fit and building a good candidate experience. To ensure they still hire the right talent, recruiters are refining their interview questions while trying to help upper management to adjust to this new style of hiring and interviewing. Others are looking to adopt recruitment tools to help build a seamless, efficient and desirable candidate experience that will hopefully counter the technical difficulties and hiccups that tend to happen with online processes.
