Recruiters: This is what coronavirus-era job seekers need to do to stand out
As a result of these shifts, job seekers shouldn't just expect video interviews to be a de facto standard and the hiring process to take much longer lately, says Abby Kohut, president of recruitment firm AbsolutelyAbby.com. They should also expect to interact with AI-driven tools , which can screen candidates, ask interview questions, and answer questions that they may have on the fly more frequently.
According to recruiters, potential hires looking to land a position would do well to keep the following hints and tips in mind."Be memorable," advises Huel's Bowsher. "In addition to ensuring that your application is relevant and writing a cover letter explaining why you'd be a good fit for a role, make sure your application is creative.
Communication skills are more important than ever, she and others note, as is learning to quickly and succinctly summarize your thoughts. To maximize your talents here, practice answering questions with 20- to 30-second quick-hit responses, using three or four sentences maximum to get your thoughts across. When speaking, be sure to look at the camera, and maintain eye contact with your interviewer as well. Similarly, you can't let the occasional photobomb freak you out.
"Remote work forces companies to hire for values fit, not culture fit [since you're working largely independently and not in-office among colleagues]," explains GitLab's Murph. Accordingly, he says, you should research firms to ensure that the attributes you prize – e.g. self-reliance, empathy, a focus on customer service over cost-efficiency, etc. — align with potential employers' values.
"Utilize your LinkedIn profile," suggests Murph. "Take time to update job descriptions, reach out to coworkers for recommendations, and enable your profile to let recruiters know that you are open to job opportunities."
