Virtual Campus Recruitment

  1. Traditional campus recruitment

    The in-campus recruitment process is very long because it involves strict screening and interviewing of applicants. Prior to the digital age, this would often require the need for a human presence, thus dragging the recruitment process.

  2. COVID-19 impact

    The pandemic came with uncertainty over rescinded offers and the delaying dates of joining. It resulted in a crisis that reoriented the recruitment strategy and adoption to the companies' altered environment.

  3. Advent of virtual campus recruitment

    Virtual recruitment has resulted in increased hiring numbers. It has helped employers to manage high-scale hiring using digital tools, which have resulted in smoother operations and faster results.

  4. Advantages of virtual recruitment

    Virtual campus recruitment has made hiring cheaper, faster, and more efficient. It opened the doors of companies in reaching untapped talent throughout different regions without physical presence.

  5. Challenges in virtual recruitment

    However, as much as there are good things, virtual recruitment never has in-person events, thus sometimes may be a setback since employers cannot have good brand presence or deep interactions with the right potential recruits.
