In today’s job market, it’s just as important for companies to make a good impression as it is for potential employees. These days, workers are looking for more from their jobs than just a good salary and are motivated by other factors such as company culture and the opportunity for professional development.
Apart from working with the right hiring agency, investing in technology can enhance your staffing solutions and help you attract top-quality candidates and retain high performing employees.
With the right tech tools, you’ll be more likely to keep your staff engaged, motivated, and happy in their jobs.
Here are some of the ways to use technology to attract talent:
Whether you recognize it or not, social media plays a huge role in your recruitment process, with your website, branding, and social channels helping you draw the right employees to your business.
Consider this scenario: Before applying for a job, a potential employee will first check the company’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. This is because they want to make sure they’re a good fit for the company.
How you’re losing out: If your social media channels are outdated, poorly managed, or non-existent, you’ll reduce your chances of attracting top quality candidates.
Tip From Our Recruitment Agency: In the modern workforce, job hunters are as likely to use a smartphone or tablet to search and apply for jobs as they are to use a desktop computer, so mobility is very important.
What you need to do: HR needs to become digital to attract, retain, and engage talent in a digital world.
These days companies and recruitment agencies are embracing technology to automate their hiring, onboarding, and training processes by using sophisticated apps and Learning Management Systems (LMS).
With an effective onboarding system, you can:
Tip from our hiring agency: When choosing an LMS, make sure the technology is easy to use, accessible, flexible, and mobile. It should be relevant, up-to-date, and engaging for users.
While staff turnover is inevitable, it’s important to try and reduce that figure by building and maintaining a positive work culture. By showing a willingness to invest in technology for employee development, you’re demonstrating a willingness to invest in the future of your employees.
REMEMBER: In today’s world, having up to date and relevant technology solutions is really important to staff. Individuals value this kind of investment and are more likely to perform well and remain loyal to your organization.
