Virtual Hiring

Virtual hiring is the process of hiring candidates online with the help of virtual communication tools and technologies. Virtual hiring is employed by many organizations nowadays due to the flexibility of digital communication platforms. The pandemic and rise of remote work culture have also compelled recruiters to switch from the traditional hiring system to virtual hiring. Virtual hiring involves the traditional hiring steps only with the exception of having everything performed through digital means. For a virtual hiring event, recruiters will post jobs on several online platforms, conduct online prescreening, schedule online interviews, and facilitate digital onboarding.  

 

Use cases:

One of the major benefits of virtual hiring is cost-saving since it eliminates the need for travel, lodging, and others, which typically happens in traditional in-person hiring events. Attending interviews online also rewards flexibility and efficiency to candidates and recruiters. Since the pandemic has accelerated the growth of remote work culture, organizations prefer virtual hiring to attract talents from varied locations and arrange for remote work options. With modern candidates prioritizing flexible recruiting and working opportunities, Virtual hiring becomes a more necessary approach for organizations.
