Question

ASSUMING THAT THE MANAGING DIRECTOR'S POSITION OF ORGANISATION HAS BECOME VACANT, AND THE ORGANISATION NEEDS A REPLACEMENT FROM ABROAD TO FILL THAT VACANCY DURING THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC PERIOD. AS HR MANAGER, HOW WOULD YOU CONDUCT THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION?

Answer 1

Following are the ways to conduct recruitment and selection after Covid19:

• Online interview: Online exams, interview and document verification are necessarily required in the post covid19 session. People tend to avoid public gathering by maintaining social distancing. Thus, using technology for the recruitment process can be a rational idea.
• Work from home facility: Candidates who can be comfortable with working from home should be prioritized at this time. The long-term lockdown has severely affected the transport system. Moreover, office ambience is not suitable at the time of Covid19 crisis.
• Recruiting people within 2-5 kilometres from office: The local aspirant with proper qualification and experience should be considered as preferable curriculum vitae. Thus, candidates who live close to the office and has proper qualifications and experience will be preferable.
• Considering interim hiring: Interim hiring can be a suitable option in this Covid19 crisis. Interim hiring often results in biased hiring. Thus, qualified, and experienced interims can be considered for the candidate.
• Interviewing less maximum of 10 candidates daily: 10 or less than ten people should be called for selection if the off-line selection is mandatory. The body temperature of all the candidates will be checked before entering and after exiting. There must be a distance of at least 5 ft between two candidates. Only one people is allowed in the interview room at a time along with the HR with properly sanitized hands.
