In the digital era we live in, it’s no wonder that technology is gaining significant momentum amongst human resources too. Spanning from decision-making to employee engagement and payroll, a raft of state-of-the-art technologies is providing today’s companies with a breath of fresh air, helping them achieve much more with much less pain. Not to mention the valuable amount of time it allows to save.
Here is our step-by-step guide to creating a toolkit of best-of-breed HR technologies that will support you in the pursuit and retention of the most valuable hires for your business.
Using abundant filters that range from location, job title and work experience, recruiters can search and find the top-class candidates they wish for their business on various online platforms, such as Bayt.com CV Search. With social profiles, discussions and activities, these tools offer hiring managers the opportunity to get to know better their potential candidates, beyond the evident limits of the once-upon-a-time resume. For instance, you can get a stronger sense of your candidates’ personality with Bayt.com Specialties, by having a look at how they formulate answers or questions to their peers and which role they may play within a conversation or debate.
Bayt.com Arab World Online 2014 survey shows that around 78% of Arab professionals spend more than two hours on the Internet; which also means the web has become the ultimate destination for sourcing untapped talent, one click at a time. Online recruiting is certainly an option that will help you succeed in your research, but it can reach its full potential only if you dedicate enough time and efforts to building a strong employer brand. Indeed, 80% of professionals check a company’s online profile before applying for a job, according to Bayt.com ‘Social Recruiting in the Middle East and North Africa’ poll. Having a premium company profile on a leading job site, like Bayt.com, is the best way to showcase what your brand is all about and advertise your latest job vacancies to thousands of daily visitors and a community of over 25 million job seekers registered on Bayt.com. Create and promote online a brand that truly reflects you as employer, share ins and outs of your dynamic culture, and be sure to attract (and retain) the best talents around.
Whether you have just established a startup in Jordan or moved to Dubai for a new HR role, you may need to stay abreast of salary trends of the region. Because having knowledge of salary data related to in-demand professionals in key fields is the best way to position your company for success. If you’re willing to take a step forward to your organization’s growth, try Bayt.com Salaries and get an idea of what to offer before hiring.
Welcomed with skepticism at the time of its inception, this brilliant recruitment tactic has gradually gained the confidence of HR and talent managers ever since. Just think of top-notch businesses that, after having used videos to disseminate their corporate culture, are now integrating them in their recruiting strategy. Video interviewing proves to be a flexible solution, as it streamlines the process and cuts back on travel costs. Ever wondered how much having potential hires interviewed in person in the HQ has been impacting your company’s budget so far? Video recruiting is inexpensive, quick, and a lot of fun. If you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to give it a go.
The practice of involving multiple team members into the final hiring decision is definitely a trend on the rise. A Bayt.com product, Talentera allows recruiters to share everything that really matters, whether this is a CV, a job posting, a note or a questionnaire. Surprisingly enough, the collaborative model can have positive effects on the hiring results and –ultimately– on team satisfaction and employee retention.
Hiring the right person for a business implies having the right tool at the right time.
When it comes to qualifying the skills of your candidates, there’s nothing better than a straightforward questionnaire, whether it inquires into their IQ, personality or technical abilities. Once again, Talentera offers a wide choice of tailor-made tests produced by experts with the aim of achieving comprehensive results and making your job easier.
Collaboration is the heartbeat of every company, and mobile has deeply transformed the way people work, interact and collaborate. Innovative ways to bring ideas and people together are aplenty out there: Active Collab for project management, Slack for internal communication, Asana for task management, just to name a few. Take the time to review as many collaboration tools as possible, and choose the one you think will make your team work faster and better to chart your own course!
We bet you already know how much public events are critical to business success. Right? Yet you may have noticed that most of the times trade shows, fairs and physical exhibitions represent an exclusive experience addressing only a limited number of people. Today, you can easily turn to the virtual space to host your online events and reach a global audience in real time. Bayt.com Vfair is an exceptional tool to break boundaries and increase engagement – without necessarily breaking the bank.
