Hiring & recruitment operations while working remotely

 

The problem with a traditional approach to recruitment today is that it can take a lot of time and there’s no guarantee that traditional teams can outcompete digital methods of recruitment.

The second approach is very different. With a remote team and in addition to candidate prospecting & screening, a virtual recruiting assistant can help with and expand with follow-up calls to prospect candidates already in your pipeline, helping to maintain your relationship with them throughout the human resources process.

Remote recruiting assistants can serve as a single point of contact for ensuring that paperwork is sent, completed, returned & correctly filed in your systems. your lead generation efforts.

PHONE, EMAIL & SOCIAL REACH OUTS

Reach out to potential candidates from web & trade-fair inquiries, LinkedIn or Indeed job postings, or work from a list of past candidate submissions to follow up on prospects to build relationships & convert them into new team members.

CANDIDATE SCREENING & PREQUALIFICATION

Following your script(s) and qualification checklist, your recruiting assistant can identify candidates for appointments so you can spend time with your most valuable leads/clients.

CANDIDATE FOLLOW-UP

Onboarding candidates requires following up again and again. Your recruiting assistant can perform this activity routinely and systematically. As a part of this virtual assistant’s follow-up role, this crucial element won’t fall through the cracks.

CANDIDATE NURTURING

Remotely, a recruiting assistant will track qualified candidates and help with automated content delivery & targeted followup calls to increase engagement & make you the agent of choice for employment.

What recruiters need to know today

 

As you already know, healthcare professionals have a difficult job because of how much medicine & methods to care there are and how complex human bodies are. It takes years of training to be qualified as a doctor or nurse or any other similar profession, but even then it takes constant study throughout one’s career.

Not only is it an important job and requires much training to do well, but doctors are similar to soldiers in some ways: they have a high risk of death or serious injury as part of their daily lives.

 

Beyond talents & skills, remember this:

The strength of healthcare workers requires them to be selfless in their service to others. They cannot avoid feeling compassion for those whom they serve. However, healthcare workers must also be aware of their own limits to serve and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Oftentimes, they only treat others but rarely receive treatment themselves.

The most important thing for the healthcare workers is to maintain a sense of purpose and belonging. Otherwise, they will tend to become unhappy and distracted from their duties.

Therefore, the first thing you need to do is give a sense of purpose and belonging. If they feel like their work has meaning, your workers are more likely to stay. The second thing you need to do is prevent them from getting bored.

You need to find ways to engage them in their work so they see the value of what they do.

Lastly, if possible, you should provide a sense of community and belonging. Healthcare workers need to have time to socialize within a peer group while on the job.
