As cities across the world begin to lift COVID-19 restrictions, new hiring strategies and methods for acquiring contingent and permanent talent need to be made as the demand for talent increases as businesses start to reopen. Now, possibly more than ever, it’s crucial to make the right hiring decisions as HR and Talent Acquisition leaders are given new options. Below are a few things to consider.
Remotely Align Talent To Company Objectives
The right talent acquisition strategy is especially important during a time when most interviews and interactions are being done remotely. While hiring decisions are being made from home, it will be crucial to ensure that talent aligns with both the company culture and objectives as the world recovers from the pandemic.
Saving Money During COVID-19
If cutting costs and saving money is a priority, like most businesses during and even after the pandemic, Direct Sourcing could be a great place to start. Benefits of this strategy can include savings of 20% or more, with a focus on leveraging technology to your advantage. If you have already implemented Direct Sourcing, or have a vision of a Total Talent Solution (TTS), then it could be important to expand your program. See the steps we suggest taking to achieve a TTS here.
