Remote work is quickly becoming a desirable benefit in today’s labor market as many employees desire flexible work options. As more organizations embrace long-term remote or hybrid workplace models, employers will continue to compete for their industry’s top candidates.
Employers want to appeal to remote workers, but that doesn’t just mean any remote worker. Successful remote employees typically are accountable, have an eagerness to ask questions and demonstrate traits such as strong written communication and critical thinking skills.
Here are some considerations for attracting and recruiting top remote talent.
Virtual Recruitment and Hiring
Creating a strong virtual recruitment and hiring process can help an employer stand out. Candidates will appreciate a clear and effective recruitment process as they engage with recruiters and hiring managers.
Virtual Fairs and Events
Employers can attend digital job fairs and similar hiring events, or even host their own virtual fair or webinar to attract remote candidates.
Nontraditional Benefits Organizations can consider offering competitive benefits and perks that meet remote employees’ evolving needs in order to stand out against the competition. Some ideas include offering high-quality home office equipment, flexible schedules and access to professional development programs.
Employee Referrals
Employers can describe the skills that the organization is looking for with current employees, and ask if they’d promote the job opening with their networks.
