Hiring is one of the most crucial functions of any organisation, and hiring the right talent can be the difference between a successful company and a failed venture. As the world moves towards a virtual approach to working, it’s only natural that more and more companies hire through online interviews. Services like LinkedIn offer one-click applications to job roles using your online LinkedIn profile. This, while making it easier for candidates to apply for roles, also puts stress on the human resources team that’s screening applicants. There has been a rise in automated software that analyses candidate resumes and shortlists a smaller, more manageable number of candidates. Only these shortlisted candidates are then allowed to proceed to the next step in the hiring process. More often than not, this process overlooks a lot of applicants who may be a great fit for the team, but were eliminated in favour of applicants who look better on paper due to resource costs associated with interviewing a large number of people.
