This includes identifying the requirements for remote workers, determining platforms for job advertisements, and a target timeline for the hiring process. Make sure everyone in the hiring team also understands who is responsible for identifying candidates, conducting interviews, sending offering letters, and on-boarding new employees.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"master-your-video-interviewing-skill\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Master_your_video-interviewing_skill\"><\/span>Master your video-interviewing skill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Video interviewing is a critical part of getting to know your candidates in remote hiring. Nevertheless, not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera and the process itself may be prone to technical issues or glitches. Hence, consider these things when you\u2019re about to conduct a video interview:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Providing detailed information in the interview invitation (date, timezone, estimated interview duration, video-conferencing tool)<\/li>\n<li>Setting up your interview in a quiet space<\/li>\n<li>Entering the interview room before your candidates to put them at ease<\/li>\n<li>Easing into the interview with chit-chat<\/li>\n<li>Establishing a clear way for candidates to do a follow-up<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"clear-job-description-and-ideal-candidates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_job_description_and_ideal_candidates\"><\/span>Clear job description and ideal candidates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A highly detailed job description can help reduce the amount of candidate screening you\u2019ll have to do. It also creates an opportunity for job seekers to screen themselves by picturing whether they are a good fit for the company.<\/p>\n<p>When developing your job description, consider the following elements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Job type (internship, part-time, full-time)<\/li>\n<li>Location (remote, hybrid, on-site)<\/li>\n<li>Workplace culture<\/li>\n<li>Time zone<\/li>\n<li>Work-from-home requirements (fast internet service, a quiet space, laptop)<\/li>\n<li>Candidate experience (past work experience, specific skills)<\/li>\n<li>A detailed description of the position, its responsibilities, and who the applicant will be working with<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"consistently-communicate-with-your-applicants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistently_communicate_with_your_applicants\"><\/span>Consistently communicate with your applicants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A remote recruitment process may be uncommon or confusing for some candidates, so recruiters have to keep their job applicants informed and updated through each stage of the process. This includes following up with applicants who won\u2019t be moving forward to the next stage. Consider incorporating communication tasks into your hiring process so that candidates receive these important updates and aren\u2019t left in the dark.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"consider-extending-the-hiring-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_extending_the_hiring_process\"><\/span>Consider extending the hiring process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When conducting remote hiring, Sara Bent, People Operations Specialist at Hotjer, mentioned that a company needs to elongate its hiring process since it takes time for a recruiter to truly know their candidates when employees don\u2019t have enough time to interact face-to-face. Adding an extra step or lengthening the interview duration can help you get to know your candidates better.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"customize-the-interview-questions-set\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_the_interview_questions_set\"><\/span>Customize the interview questions set<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the regular screening and culture fit questions, consider adding questions related to their opinions or skills needed for remote working. Some of the best in-person workers may not be outstanding remote workers if they don\u2019t have specific technological skills or personal characteristics needed to stay motivated when working away from the team. Personalities that you\u2019re looking for may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Self-starter<\/li>\n<li>Personally motivated<\/li>\n<li>Adaptable<\/li>\n<li>Highly conscientious<\/li>\n<li>Self-confident<\/li>\n<li>Independent worker<\/li>\n<li>Great communicator<\/li>\n<li>Tech-savvy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All in all, remote hiring is a trend that is here to stay. As long as you know how to do this process with understanding, it can be a smooth and productive journey.
