The hunt for new employees usually starts hopeful, but the chances of your ideal candidate appearing out of thin air are very slim. Quite the contrary, there is a lot of work to be done to get a continuous influx of suitable candidates. Fortunately, there are several tools that will help simplify the revered search for candidates. We’ve listed some of our favorite online recruitment tools below!
We can no longer deny the importance of visuals. They’re everywhere: on social media, ads, websites, vacancy pages, and the list goes on! Visuals are true eyecatchers to support your message. Here’s a tip: use as much authentic material as possible. This will contribute to a great impression of you as an employer! But what if you don’t have any authentic visuals? These are our favourite sites with royalty-free visual and audio material. Another little tip: think out-of-the-box. Don’t settle for the first eyecatcher you come across, but take the time you need to find visuals that really suit your organisation.

An automated video interview displays your questions on the candidate’s screen, after which the candidate’s webcam records their answers. Automated video interviews have proven to be a clear win-win for both candidates and recruiter! The candidate can choose what time they want to do the interview; during their lunch break, after work, or at the weekend, for example. The recruiter watches the video afterwards and saves a huge amount of time planning, preparing, and facilitating.
