Many companies are moving toward ‘remote offers’, hiring candidates without ever meeting them in-person. To do this effectively, a robust video interviewing process and toolset is key. In addition, reference checking is becoming even more important to gather meaningful insights and a 360° view of your candidate’s skills, attributes, and behaviors especially without an in-person meeting.
If you’re not using Crosschq for all of you hires, you need to. Configure job and management level-specific surveys to ensure you’re getting precise candidate data.
Doing reference checks prior to your video or phone interviews will give you the information you need to allow your hiring teams to get more value out of their remote interviews.
Recruiters & hiring managers spend no additional time sourcing 4 references instead of 2 with Crosschq. However, 4 sets of impactful insights instead of 2 will lead to better hiring decisions.
Do your candidates like to work remotely? Do their references think your candidates produce at the same level as when they are in office? It’s important to know now more than ever.
With a virtualized workforce, unity within your organization is paramount. Ensure new hires are an add to your existing culture. Crosschq can customize surveys to make sure you have these important questions covered.
We cannot say if these hiring trends will last, but the habits you create now can help as the future unfolds. With Crosschq, you can still hire great team members in this climate without it feeling like a blind date. Please reach out to your Crosschq account manager or email support@crosschq.com for additional support or if you have any questions.
