Many companies are now recruiting online, as it has become so easy to use the Internet to locate the best candidates from all over the world. The continual advances in technology make it much easier and more cost effective for companies to find job seekers who match specific criteria that are necessary attributes for the job advertised.
There are a number of recruiting tips on what to look for in a candidate that will help you to find the right person for the vacancy that you are trying to fill.
These tips can be applied to any recruiting situation but there are specific considerations that apply when you are recruiting online, which are also covered.
Find the right attitude
It is extremely important to find someone with the right kind of attitude towards work, as a person with the right kind of attitude will be able to achieve greater success in any business. When you are recruiting online for a position in your company, you need to find a way of measuring the attitude of the candidates on the short list.
You can do this by screening for certain positive words in the resumes that you receive or ask applicants to go through an online assessment test that will help to provide insights into their attitude. Also, if you are interviewing face to face, you will be able to judge from the candidate's demeanor if they are positive or not.
Find a team player
As with any role, it is very important to find a team player, rather than a lone superstar. The candidate you choose must have the capability to either manage a team effectively or to fit into your current team environment and contribute as soon as possible to reaching your organization goals.
Normally a quick review of the candidates resume would provide this type of information, but you need to be ready to handle a significant amount of volume of applications when recruiting online. You can use screening keywords to specifically include or exclude applicants that include these words in their resumes. Another way that you can use screening keywords is in relation to technical qualifications where specific keywords will indicate whether a candidate is suitably qualified for the role
Find a candidate with the right character
Whilst qualifications prove that the candidate has sufficient technical knowledge to meet the requirements of the role, character on the other hand is a necessary attribute to maintain a proper and healthy working environment in the workplace. The resume of a candidate will give you a good summary of their previous experience and credentials, but you need to get a deeper insight into the character of the candidate by questioning them in person, using questions that will provide answers to what type of character they are.
Normally this would be done in an interview situation, and when recruiting online it can also be found out through a telephone interview. You should also ask specific questions either in a pre-selection questionnaire or at the interview to find candidates who are multi-skilled and can multitask easily. These qualities come in very useful in times of emergencies
These tips will help you focus on the skills that are not found as easily from the candidate's resume or application form but can be found using some of the technology that is available to you when you are recruiting online.
