Stephanie Chappell Disbrow is a Certified Talent Acquisition
Specialist who has worked in the Raleigh, North Carolina area for over
fifteen years. During her career, the methods that companies use to find
and recruit potential employees have changed drastically, and this is
due to the drastic levels of technological advances that have happened
in this time period.
The biggest change in hiring practices
is that most companies now hire online. Job listings are posted on
websites such as Indeed, Monster, or even Craigslist, and many companies
use online application software to accept resumes. This makes things
quicker for both applicants and recruiters; recruiters can search
through hundreds of applicants easily online, and applicants can apply
to jobs more quickly. Job hunters on the go can even use their phones or
tablets to submit applications. Additionally, this increases the pool
of potential employees substantially, because people can apply to jobs
in any city easily, and recruiters are not limited to people in their
immediate area.
There has also been an increase in the use of video technology to hire people. Especially for jobs that only require telecommuting, video chat can allow hirers and applicants to have a face-to-face conversation from around the world. Employees can then work from their home city or country without having to move. Employers may now also use social media, such as LinkedIn, Google Plus, or even Facebook to connect with potential new hires, something that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. Stephanie Chappell Disbrow has used these technological advances to her advantage to hire the best new talent.
