Recruiting remotely in the ‘New World’ - how to adapt your recruitment process to attract and retain top talent - where face to face is not an option.

During Lockdown, many recruitment companies have understandably consolidated their cost base, Hanson Lee have used this time and invested heavily into new tools that help the approach, understanding and identification of the right candidate.

Lee Blasdale explains: “The answer lies with smart use of technology. Not just video tools such as MS Teams or Zoom. When remote working, productivity and suitability is now more about output over input.” He adds, “Solutions using advanced technologies, that give a fuller picture into the candidate, will help gauge how productive might a person be from the home environment for example. Of course, personality profiling has been around for many years, but digitalisation & AI has advanced this area considerably, especially when tailoring requirements around a specific role.”
