From logistics to HR, COVID-19 has affected all departments of companies operating in all kinds of industries. However, some departments, such as Human Resources, have been affected more than others. Although business operations have mostly resumed, the effects of the pandemic can still be felt, especially in the HR Department.
So how can HR departments attract and hire new employees while dealing with external challenges? What can companies do to beat the competition in the market? This blog answers all these questions and more.
Virtual touchpoints that became a necessity during the peak of COVID-19 have now become a norm in the business world. In other words, all businesses are expected to embrace virtual touchpoints. And when it comes to HR processes, companies have started offering virtual interviews, so the top candidates can be interviewed while saving both time and cost for each party.
The pandemic was a good reality check for industries to identify their sustainability and demand in the ever-changing world. Industries that deal with technology and digital solutions have started to attract a lot of talent because candidates want to work in industries that offer job security. On the other hand, companies with traditional operations have struggled to attract a good pool of talent, especially if they have struggled to adapt to their needs post-pandemic.
Today, candidates are more aware of working conditions and how companies have adapted to such challenging times. After all, people always remember what a company does in tough times. Accordingly, candidates are likely to do their research and choose a company that offers flexibility and support to its employees.
The pandemic has accelerated globalization, and people are more connected than ever. This means that people in one corner of the world are well-equipped today to offer their expertise and skills to a company in another corner of the world, thanks to remote working. Hence, companies can attract new and better employees by opening gateways to remote working and hiring international candidates. Plus, remote working also saves business resources since they work from their homes using their own devices.

Employees have needed to give more than to their health and well-being, especially if they work in populated places. However, companies can help resolve their concerns by adapting the workplace layout, for instance, by shifting meetings online, mandating social distancing, and allowing flexible schedules.
Attracting and retaining employees was never easy. But the pandemic has particularly made it very difficult to attract top talent. However, there are various ways by which HR professionals can adapt their hiring strategies and recruit good candidates, such as by offering employee benefits.
