Talent Acquisition To Be Digital-Led Amidst The Pandemic - WalkWater Talent Advisors

Although Generation Y and Generation Z have adopted digitalization in almost every aspect of life such as searching, learning, communicating, reaching out, and shopping, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an even more magnanimous usage of digital technologies. With everything locked down a few months back, and working from home being preferred, there has been a high adoption of digital devices in the last six months.

Businesses have also shifted from their brick and mortar stores to work from home models. Initially, businesses struggled to adapt to this new normal, but they’re now slowly and steadily adjusting to this new way of working. Digital technologies have largely led the way to help make the shift. And, this shift is all set to have a huge impact on the hiring and talent acquisition activities as well. In fact, we can say that talent acquisition in the new normal will be digital-led. Enterprises must use this opportunity to reassess their talent acquisition strategy. After all, the COVID-19 is not going anywhere soon, and the work from home models will thus still stay. So, the job market will also undergo massive changes. Organizations must make use of technology and virtual management tools to ensure a good employee experience.

Remote working

With the rise of the Gig economy and work from home adaptations, companies must reevaluate and recreate their policies of recruitment and talent acquisition, keeping the new working model in mind.

Rise of the Gig economy

The global economy has been significantly impacted as a result of the pandemic, causing a lot of uncertainly in business, and bringing on recession. Leveraging Gig economy is a good way to ensure business continuity, by opening up new pools of talent, and ensuring flexibility in the workforce at lower costs.

Virtual recruitment

Intelligent automated systems of offering virtual interviews, instead of in-person interviews, ensure social distancing, which is very important in the times of this pandemic. Video and audio conferencing tools have proven to be really helpful during these times. Cloud, Data Analytics, and Security solutions will also be closely interconnected with the Talent Acquisition system to enable lots of benefits such as storing more data conveniently and quickly, providing enhanced candidate analysis, and making the system secure and transparent.

Technological screening

Organizations are now adopting artificial intelligence and chatbot driven systems to improve their efficiency. Automated screenings are becoming mandatory for the initial stages of interviews, and for volume hiring. This will reduce the time otherwise invested in making multiple calls, and improve productivity.

Social communication

Social channels have always been a favourite, and now even more after the pandemic. Organizations are also using social media communication to reach out to employees. This ability to reach the right audience with specific targeted campaigns, and that too in an informal way, will certainly help to drive better efficiency.

Talent acquisition executives should be trained to manage this new scenario by using all the above mentioned tools and techniques. WalkWater Talent Advisors is one of the leading talent acquisition companies in India who is already well-versed with all of the above to bring to you better outcomes for finding the right talent for your organization.
