Getting More Engaged
This Module discusses the impact of remote work on the recruitment industry, emphasizing the need for recruiters to increase their engagement with candidates and clients. With recruitment processes becoming more remote due to the pandemic and individual preferences, traditional face-to-face interactions like client visits and interviews have significantly reduced. This shift has resulted in a less personal touch in recruitment practices, leading to challenges like ghosting and difficulties in building relationships. The speaker stresses the importance of adapting to this new landscape by enhancing communication skills, like active listening and effective questioning, to maintain a high level of engagement. Recruiters are urged to utilize technology wisely but also to strive for deeper interactions through phone calls, video meetings, or in-person discussions where possible. This approach will foster stronger relationships, which are vital for successful outcomes in recruitment. The session highlights the critical need for recruiters to be more consultative, advisory, and influential in their roles to overcome the current challenges in the industry.
