The coronavirus has changed the way we work. But what is the best way to keep your recruitment process moving whilst ensuring you are still hiring the best candidates?
At Cognisess we have spent a number of years building the best virtual recruitment platform possible. In fact, we have recently won an award for it. Below we explore how you can move your recruitment process online whilst also looking after your employees.
All of the tools featured in this blog exist on one platform, Cognisess Pro, which means you can do everything on one programme. There is no need to switch to another software to review a candidate’s results after sending out an employee feedback survey. Cognisess Pro can also be accessed anytime and anywhere, meaning your employees and applicants can access it from home. This allows them to give you feedback or apply for a job wherever they feel most comfortable during this time.
Accurate and Engaging Online Assessments
Perhaps an assessment centre day may not be suitable or possible right now. Moving an assessment centre online has many benefits. It saves money and it can be completed any time or anywhere. This makes it more accessible to candidates who may have not been able to attend in person due to distance or money.
Our award-winning online assessment tool has over 60 scientifically-backed games that are tailored to test the attributes that are important to the role you’re recruiting for. From emotional intelligence to mental arithmetic. Candidates typically find our assessments engaging and interesting, making your application process stand out. You can assign the assessments instantly to as many candidates as you want.
Online interviews
Currently, you may not feel safe meeting potential hires in person. Using an online video interview tool is a great replacement solution. It’s also a popular one too, according to the recruitment company Walters People, 67% of companies are now using video interviews to hire workers.
Finding the right online video tool is important. Our virtual interviewing tool not only helps you interview candidates easily, but also has an optional feature to enhance your decision making.
Our DeepLearnTM Video Analysis tool detects a candidate’s true emotion, instead of what they may like to present to an interview panel. This tool is particularly beneficial for sales positions where first impressions and body language is important. Our Computer Vision technology can analyse from 27+ points on the face, searching for emotions such as positivity alongside other attributes relevant to the job frame by frame. As a result, a business can identify top talent from their entire applicant pool and keep the recruitment process moving.
Supporting employees
This is a difficult time for many and some employees may feel disconnected from the company if they are working remotely. Our platform’s not only designed to recruit the best talent, but also support your employees. We have several surveys designed to help you understand your people including:
- Employer response to COVID-19. This template is for employees and relates to Covid-19 and working in a different way. Sample questions include: What policies/aspects do you feel have worked during this time? And what level of flexibility is provided by your organisation when it comes to getting work done?
- Employee Surveys. Comprehensive employee surveys that deliver a thorough understanding of organisational culture, experience and engagement and links to business performance.
- Daily Mood and Sleep. Daily monitoring of an employee’s mood and sleep, with an emphasis on Health and Wellbeing. You will be able to assess how your workforce is generally feeling, which can inform your general strategy moving forward.
Create Strong Teams
The people you work alongside can often affect your happiness or performance. By using our Team Fit tool you can check if each individual is in the right team. This feature collates and maps an individual’s assessment results via a user-friendly graph against the attributes of others in any defined team or group. The data is divided into two disciplines, social cohesion and cognitive fit. If an employee isn’t the right fit for a team, you can put their data into another group to predict if they would get on better in that team.
Having a platform that allows you to recruit and check in with your employees is essential during this time. Book a demo today to explore the tools that will allow your company to thrive.
