Have you been thinking about adding more skilled employees to your company, but lack the necessary resources in order to source and onboard the people you need?

But, if you aren’t quite familiar with what this entails and how you can go about the remote recruitment process, this comprehensive guide is just what you need!

You’d first need to understand why is it that so many workers prefer to work remotely; top reasons include flexibility, reduced expenses, and a better chance of a work-life balance. In fact, it has not only become the new normal, it has been embraced so wholeheartedly that many workers are willing to resign from their jobs if they weren’t allowed to keep their work-from-home (WFH) privileges. So, by offering WFH as part of your company’s perks, you’re already one step ahead of the competition.

Knowing the right sites and/or technology-assisted methods that you can use to source for these remote talent (apart from LinkedIn), would allow you to become more efficient and reduce the costs typically involved with traditional recruitment methods. In addition, we’ll be sharing with you some of the necessary tools that would enable a smoother, hassle-free, and efficient workflow for all your remote talent. Finally, if you’re still on the fence about hiring remote workers for your team, our guide will present you with the major benefits of doing so. What are you waiting for, let’s get you started on the right path towards hiring only the best!

“People are more productive working at home than people would have expected. Some people thought that everything was just going to fall apart, and it hasn’t. And a lot of people are actually saying that they’re more productive now.”

You may have some available roles at your company, and want to ensure that you hire only the right fit. However, candidate selection can be a lengthy and costly process, especially if you aren’t sure what to do and what to look out for. That’s why, an efficient candidate screening and selection process will not only help you keep your hiring costs low and predictable, it’ll also save you and your HR from wasting valuable time! But what is this all about?

First off, the screening process is a series of precise steps that recruiters/hiring managers use to filter out applicants. Matching the right skills to the open roles is key, and an effective selection can result in hiring the right kind of people who’ll be able to help the company in boosting morale, add to the corporate culture, and keep turnover low. It’s important to note here that there’s no one-size-fits-all method, and it’s normal for every company to approach this process in its own way.

Having a solid selection process is where the company will have the chance to earn a sterling reputation as a fair and just employer. By incorporating a transparent and no-nonsense professional selection process, this may make job seekers come to you first, over other businesses in the same industry. Without further ado, we present to you our comprehensive guide to both the screening and selection process, so that you’ll have the basics at your fingertips, and will be able to build your own methods to hiring top talent!

Just about anyone can put on a power suit, sit in a corner office, and give orders or delegate tasks to their subordinates. To be an effective leader though, there’s so much more that’s required, especially when you’re tasked to lead and inspire many people to take action. One of the reliable ways to determine if someone is ‘good’ at leadership or otherwise is to look at their people: Are they thriving, becoming better leaders themselves, inspired and motivated, so on and so forth?

You see, while it can be difficult to accurately pinpoint the similar traits and characteristics that define the greatness of a leader, it’s safe to say that a true one is only as good as his/her willingness to develop daily. Every success and failure is an invaluable lesson that can be turned into an opportunity to lead by example. He/she who’s able to follow through on their word and drive their people forward with purpose shows a strength of character, and a confidence in “getting their hands dirty”.

That’s why we’ve decided to create this handy guidebook to help all aspiring leaders reach their full potential, which is an essential life-long skill to attract and retain the top talent!

“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal which is worthwhile.”
