Recruitment and retention coach Katherine Wiid from Cambridge Network member Recrion explores 'Recruiting via video' on Wednesday 8 April (11am-12pm) in the first of three related webinars aimed at HR managers and recruiters who are having to work remotely.
Katherine says: "No longer can we invite a candidate in for the traditional face to face interview. How can you pick up on non-verbal body language signals via a dodgy video connection, that a face-to-face interview would usually allow you to see? What might you miss? How will you know that the candidate is genuine and that you will be able to trust them to get on with the job remotely if you hire them? How will you overcome any unconscious biases you might have? These are all questions my clients have been asking me in the last few weeks.
"Remote recruiting also throws up fantastic opportunities to become more aware of how you currently recruit and what you could fine-tune. In this webinar, we’ll talk about how to successfully recruit via video - and how it’s more about you than it is about them!"
Katherine will follow up this session with two further webinars over the next few weeks:
Interviewing via video, 29th April, 2pm-3pm
Onboarding via video, 6th May, 11am-12pm
