Virtual Team Collaboration Tips for Employers

If both recruiting and working virtually, you can obviously leverage technology to collaborate with your remote team members. But beyond simple chat and video meeting technology, online recruiting platforms like GradLeaders Recruiting offer other ways to share notes, assessments and best-fit candidates amongst your team.

• SAVE CANDIDATES TO VIRTUAL FOLDERS:  Select the best matching candidates then create a candidate "set" or virtual folder to keep track of high-potential hires and manage future activity with candidates.

• SHARE RESUMES/CVs WITH TEAMMATES:  When you find a great candidate, forward it to your team or hiring manager to get immediate feedback.

• TAKE ONLINE NOTES ON CANDIDATES:  Save candidate notes as "Public" to allow teammates to view your notes, optimizing the candidate experience and recruiting efficiency.
  

• CREATE DIGITAL RECRUITING CAMPAIGNS:  Utilize campaigns to manage all recruiting and hiring activity across your entire team. Campaigns make it easy to group activities for a specific role, school, program, location, etc.

4 Easy Ways to Communicate with Right-Fit Candidates Virtually

Once you've sourced a shortlist of right-fit candidates for your opportunities, there are multiple ways to open up the lines of communication - even in a virtual environment. 

1. MESSAGE CANDIDATES IN APP:  Start by utilizing the messaging features within your recruiting platform to begin a candidate dialogue.
2. EMAIL CANDIDATES:  Numerous surveys show that email remains the most preferred method of contact for recruiter-candidate communication. 
3. CALL & TEXT CANDIDATES:  After initially engaging with a candidate, utilize personal email addresses and phone numbers to connect with candidates outside the system.
4. IMPORT CONTACT INFO INTO OTHER COMMUNICATION TOOLS:  Export shortlists of candidates to CSV spreadsheets or directly to your ATS to continue the conversation using other 3rd-party communication tools.

IMPORTANT TIP! No matter what channel you utilize, be sure to personalize communications as much as possible to improve the candidate experience. If sending mass communications, utilize variables to automatically insert the candidate''s name and other personal info. Candidates constantly tell us they don''t want to feel like a number, they''re looking for a more personalized recruiting experience.

7 Tips for Virtual Employment Branding

As you begin to narrow your search to students who might be good fits for your company, there are multiple ways to push them through the virtual recruitment funnel and get them interested in future careers with your organization.

No matter how you market to candidates, always include a call-to-action (CTA) for the candidate to "do something" - apply to jobs, sign up for virtual meetings, register for a webinar, receive a personalized resume review, or join an alumni mentoring session.

1. MASS EMAIL MARKETING:  Numerous surveys show that email remains the most preferred method of contact for recruiter-candidate communication.
2. CREATE ONLINE COMPANY PROFILES:  Utilize online talent networks to promote your company. Create a robust company profile to put your best foot forward as candidates virtually research future employers.
3. HOST VIRTUAL MEETINGS & INFO SESSIONS:  You don't have to be on campus to share information about your company, connect candidates with leaders and potential colleagues, or host Q&A sessions. Use virtual meeting tools to host online group sessions.
4. PROMOTE TEAM CULTURE:  No matter how you virtually connect with candidates, be sure to include snippets about what it's like to work at your company and share employee testimonials (ideally alumni from their school).
5. SHARE DAY-IN-THE-LIFE-OF VIDEOS:  If candidates can't tour your corporate location, provide them brief videos of your office, store, warehouse, lab, etc. to virtually highlight the facilities. Remember to focus on perks like food courts, gyms, in-house clinics, on-site daycare, etc. along with their likely departmental space.  
6. OFFER CAREER ADVICE:  Students crave career advice from employers in a variety of formats including; Virtual webinars, On-demand content, Direct marketing. Especially from one of their target companies or  industries.

8 Simple Tips for Virtual Candidate Sourcing

Finding candidates from your core and non-core schools without being on campus is simple with the right virtual recruitment tools. Plus, virtual tools enable you to seamlessly expand your pipeline with access to professional associations and non-traditional talent pools. You can even reach hard-to-find experienced-hire talent by getting immediate access to job-seeking alumni.

1. ACCESS ONLINE DATABASES: Surpass traditional job postings and tedious application review processes by proactively leveraging online resume/CV databases of current job-seeking candidates. 
2. SEARCH ONLINE PROFILES & RESUMES: Utilize advanced search filters to narrow the database by target school, current location, and desired skills/experience. Then expand your talent pipeline and search across the entire network to find candidates you might have otherwise missed.
3. SEARCH BY CANDIDATE PREFERENCES: Go beyond school, location, and skills by searching for candidates already interested in working for your company, your current job openings; and your geographical area.
4. UTILIZE CLUBS TO FIND DIVERSE TALENT: Search student clubs to target and connect with diverse populations.
5. SAVE SEARCHES & RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS: Save searches to create an agent and receive email notifications of new matching candidates.
6. SORT SHORTLISTS BY BEST-FIT MATCHES: Utilize optional search criteria to bring the top-tier candidates to the top of your search results. 
7. FIND CANDIDATES STILL SEEKING: Filter matching candidates from your search results to only see those "still seeking" or "available" to be contacted for a new full-time job or internship. 
8. ATTRACT ADDITIONAL CANDIDATES: Post jobs to advertise openings to additional candidates and build a list of students interested in careers with your company.

Black Lives Matter.  Equality matters.  Justice matters.  Today and every day.

We stand together with our team members alongside our school and employer partners in solidarity with the Black community, the LGBTQIA+ community, and every other minority or under served community denied basic privileges that others take for granted.

As Robert F. Kennedy said during another dark time in our nation's history:

". . . it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in . . . What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country"

Our mission to bring people together and create a more diverse student talent pipeline for employers has never been more important. We are determined to do our part in creating a better world.

Sincerely,

The Entire Team at GradLeaders

Expand Your Diversity Talent Pool to Reach...
