Recruitment and hiring during COVID-19

The Covid-19 coronavirus went from an outbreak to a full on global pandemic. Some companies are considering halting their hiring process until the situation improves. Rather than panic or chalk recruitment and employment up as failed ventures, employers should be considering ways to ensure that their offices and prospective employees are safe from the Covid-19 threat. Chances are that companies  sourcing candidates online. There’s very little contact with the candidate beyond phone calls and emails.

LinkedIn has grown into one of the most powerful online platforms for social, career and job-related networking. The hiring manager for that job you recently applied looked at your profile LinkedIn. LinkedIn is packed with recruiters for all different industries. The hiring manager making the first contact with email or LinkedIn message. Next, the hiring manager ask the recruiters for a time to talk, and tell them you can provide with more info on the call.
