Yolanda is the head of the HR department in a mid-size production company that has several offices and production facilities around the country. At some point, because of company expansion, she began to struggle with recruiting, onboarding and training. Phone interviews quickly showed that this method was only good for pre-selectingcandidates for the second stage of recruiting. However, Yolanda aims to recruit the best candidates, who are often in different locations. Once hired, new employees must receive onboarding and training. And each time the company updates the portfolio of products, it can cost a fortune to fly-in every new team member for a day or two ofintroductory training – an expensive and not always productive use of time. Yolanda looked for tools to help her out.
Yolanda adopted online interviews with quality audio and video, where she could hold the presentation and complete the process seamlessly without having to bring the candidate to the headquarters office. She records the interviews so she can review each candidate and choose the best fit for the position. Yolanda also introduced online onboarding through webinars. Each training session gathers new specialists at their location, eliminating travel time to headquarters and back. After each training session, she runs a short Q&A session and test. Online onboarding sessions can be recorded and played at the employee’s convenience.
Having well-developed processes for online recruiting and onboarding allows Yolanda to save time and money. As a result, the employees now share their knowledge and expertise from their desk to teams in offices around the country. Each training session isrecorded, so each team member can watch it on demand whenever they need to review any point from the session.
