There was a 58% increase** in job listings in August and in the last seven days we&#8217;ve seen an average of 22,535 active listings onsite per day\u2026\u00a0 a 52% increase when compared to the same period last year.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While at home potential candidates have the time to look at available jobs or take phone calls without their boss overhearing. Many people would be delighted to be contacted about a job opportunity, even if they\u2019re not actively looking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All screening, shortlisting, and candidate updates can continue efficiently online on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/qjumpers.com\/products-services\/applicant-tracking-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and interviews can simply move to phone\/video conferencing. Sure it\u2019s a different medium to negotiate, and remote hiring may not be your ideal option, but it does work.\u00a0 If you wait until face-to-face interviews are possible again you could lose some excellent candidates as they may accept offers from others who move quicker than you.\u00a0 If your hiring\/onboarding progress <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delayed (for any reason), then send regular updates to candidates to keep them \u2018warm\u2019: <\/span><i style=\"font-size: 16px;\">94% of candidates feel the recruitment experience affects their decision to accept or reject an offer and 58% of candidates feel that a good experience will make them more likely to accept a role. <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resourcesolutions.com\/latest-news\/5-cool-tips-to-help-you-keep-candidates-warm.html\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">https:\/\/www.resourcesolutions.com\/latest-news\/5-cool-tips-to-help-you-keep-candidates-warm.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps notify them that things are delayed because you\u2019re an essential service provider or have issues working remotely, but that you are still keen to move the process along once you are able. Most will understand if you are honest, and engaging with them regularly will keep them engaged and also reflect well on your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great news, you\u2019ve hired a new employee despite lockdown and are preparing for the onboarding process. But they still can\u2019t drop in with their signed employment agreement, ID, bank account, and tax information.\u00a0 Collecting applicants\u2019 information electronically will reduce the onboarding resources on staff, paperwork, inductions, and time.\u00a0 Start dates will also reduce significantly. An effective ATS system including an onboarding function with electronic signature capabilities will dramatically reduce your time to hire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onboarding processes cause a huge bottleneck in the hiring process. Businesses want information such as proof of identity, work visa documentation, proof of bank accounts, copies of drivers\u2019 license, in addition to tax\/Employment Agreements. This is a massive administrative task and the question needs to be asked &#8211; are all these documents needed for every new employee?\u00a0 At what point of the process should this all be collected &#8211; in person, at a group induction, or collected electronically (and more importantly \u2013 remotely).\u00a0 In reality, there needs to be a hybrid approach depending on each applicant\u2019s IT literacy.\u00a0 If you ask for too much private information upfront you could break the new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.govt.nz\/act\/public\/2020\/0031\/latest\/whole.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy Act 2020 regulations.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is why QJumpers Recruitment Software created a new confidential information module to complement our ATS system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automating your recruitment\/onboarding tasks online is the best option for your business by streamlining your processes and audit trail and gathering information remotely.
