Top tips for recruiting for a hybrid workplace

Did you know that 59% of employees are more likely to choose an employer who offers remote work opportunities? 3 whole years living in this remote/hybrid working world. While this is only the case for certain industries, hybrid workplaces are more popular now than ever throughout Ireland. Many organisations have seen huge success when it comes to allowing teams to work remotely. This all begins with sourcing the best candidates for your hybrid team. 

Here are our top 4 tips for recruiting for a hybrid workplace:


1.      Map out a clear hybrid working policy

This should be the case whether you’re recruiting or not! If you want team members in the office on specific days or a certain amount of days, include this. The hybrid work policy will act as a roadmap for your team members, and avoid any confusion around hybrid working. It’ll also be very useful to share this with new recruits on day one.


2.      Independent, self motivated candidates

With a new role on the horizon, you’ll really want to engage with candidates who have a proven history of working independently. This will alleviate any concerns you have around them performing tasks at home.


3.      Ensure a top quality interview process

If the interview will also be remote, it is crucial that this is well planned. You want a grasp on the candidates skillset and attitude as well as their own expectations. 15% of candidates who experience a positive interview process are likely to put more effort into the role.


4.      Lets be clear

Lastly, set clear and concise expectations for your new employee. It is really important that they understand their responsibilities as early in the onboarding as possible. You want them to feel comfortable with the role so that they can do it from anywhere.
