(Newswire.net — December 17, 2022) — How you hire your employees is a big decision that will shape everything about how you feel about your company, how employees view it, and how well they want to work.  If you’re eager to get your company into fighting shape and find high-quality employees that can rock it, it’s vital that you know what modern recruiting looks like.  

1- Social Media Shifted Everything

Social media made the biggest change of all.  Although we all have a hate-love relationship with sites like Facebook, twitter, and Instagram, they have changed how we hire.  These sites make it easier to advertise to a massive number of people in one go and then watch as their applications for employment come in.  Social media is powerful for pinpointing specific niches of people, and there’s nothing else like it.

2- Filtering and Sorting Is Easier

Why dig through every single application by hand?  That’s going to take ten times as long, and all you’ll gain from it is a collection of applicants you can’t be sure about.  Instead of dealing with that, use filtering!

Modern automation allows you to sort potential employees by their work history, their availability, their education, and so much more.  This allows you to basically build what your perfect worker would be like, and then wait until the moment they apply for the job.  

3- Verifying Information is Possible

When you’re recruiting new employees, the last thing you want to wonder is if this is one of the people that lie on their applications.  Verification is a great process that can be automated or can even be completed by some of the sites you hire through to check if they have the education they say they do and if their professional references check out.

Athough everyone can smudge the truth a little, you want to be able to hire employees that you understand and who are honest about their abilities and interests.

4- Automating the Process Is Simpler

When you automate, the process of life becomes so much easier.  You can automate everything from the application to their onboarding and even their training, all before you see them start their first real day on the job.  This automation gives you a chance to watch your employees get set up for success before they even apply for the job you’re offering.

5- There Are Recruiting Sites You Can Trust

Although job hunting sites are one of the oldest types of sites out there, they offer incredible benefits to both the companies and the talent that use them.  These sites allow companies to organize and filter potential workers until they find their perfect match and give job seekers a chance to find their dream job.

Although these can come with a fee, or you have to deal with their advertising when you use them, their everyday use of AI and incredible reach make them awesome to work with.

Keep Up With Recruiting’s Changes!

Recruiting has shifted and changed form so often in the last ten years that it’s hardly recognizable as what it used to be.  If you’re eager to bring more people into your company and aren’t sure how to do it, consider upping your recruiting game.
