A vacancy in corona times
A clear job description is and remains important, especially in times of crisis like these. If it concerns a specific job opening due to corona, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to communicate this clearly. You can do so by adding the hashtag #COVID19 in the vacancy text. Mind the spelling of the hashtag, COVID#19 will not work. Is it a vacancy with job security despite the coronavirus? Make sure to mention it! This is a big advantage at the moment. Furthermore, it is also important to communicate that your company is strictly complying with the corona-related hygiene measures in the workplace and that the well-being of current and new employees is guaranteed. This will show your commitment to your staff.
Spread the word
Publish your vacancy on various channels, it will increase your visibility. Potential candidates spend a lot of time online these days. Therefore, you have to make sure your vacancy stands out.
Meeting your perfect match
Found a suitable profile? The next step is probably a first interview. Skype (or any other online video tool) is the best option during this period. It will allow you to meet face to face, but at a safe distance. Is an interview at the office really necessary? Ask whether the candidate feels comfortable with this. Make sure to apply the rules of social distancing and hygiene at all times. In these times we all need to be flexible.
Convinced?
Did the candidate convince you? Great! The contract proposal is the next step. Agree with your candidate how you will discuss and sign the contract. A scan via email seems to be the safest option here.
The first day at work
Organise a warm welcome for your employee. This may be a hectic period, but prepare to give your candidate a pleasant and organised welcome. First impressions are everything. Explain the safety regulations and hygiene measures. This way your newest employee knows that you want to guarantee his/her health.
