Editor’s Note

As the world shifted over the last year, hiring practices changed as well. And while things will eventually return to normal, that normal may not look the same as it once did. More than half of workers would rather not return to offices when the pandemic is over. 

Hiring managers need to be prepared for the reality that the old ways of doing things–multiple in-person interviews, college fairs, talent assessment, and days of paperwork and onboarding–may not be effective in the new workforce. 
 

The time is now to perfect virtual recruiting, hiring and onboarding practices.

This month, we bring you a themed edition on 'Virtual Hiring & Onboarding' featuring a slew of articles that we hope will help you excel in your hiring and onboarding practices in the New Year.

Featured on the cover is Is It Time To Update Your Hiring Process? by Barbara Bruno. In this article, the author touches upon the five aspects where recruiters tend to lose time, energy and money.

Check out Jason Fry's article where he talks about How To Meet Form I-9 Requirements During Virtual Onboarding.

Also featured in this edition is a new column HR Startup Profile. In this Q&A Series we will bring you the story behind an HR startup, the value it brings to the HR industry, insights into the new solutions that could work for HR professionals, and much more!

Also read, How To Do Online Hiring The Right Way by Stephanie Collier Jensen and What To Consider When Hiring During The Covid-19 Pandemic by Kristin Taylor, among others featured in this edition.

That is not all! Also, check out the other articles included in this edition. We hope the this edition of Talent Acquisition Excellence will help you find excellence in your recruiting, hiring, and onboarding efforts.

As always, happy reading and don't forget to send us your feedback.

Wish you a Happy New Year in advance.
