No one misses Covid…I’m still finding masks in side pockets of jackets and car consoles…but in crisis opportunity appears…and we began to hire remote recruiters, first as a reaction, then as a strategy! It’s the fastest and most effective way to scale your search firm!
BUT… (There’s always a “but” isn’t there?”)
- You can’t attract them using the same methods
- You can’t interview them with the same methods or using the same guardrails
- You can’t hire the same people. (Someone who could succeed but needs hand holding is no longer your candidate!)
- You can’t Train by Osmosis (There’s no “water cooler” catch up)
- You can’t manage them day to day the same way
- The tech support set up is quirky
You may be so Paternal a manager, or so Paranoid (Are they working?) that Remote Staff is not for you! But hear me out, I learned to adjust and let go of some sacrosanct principles…and we’re growing. And our remotes are often leading the way! People want to work remote and we are in an industry where IF you manage correctly, the job can be done anywhere. That’s a blessing! Let’s RemoteMaxx!!
