Working from home can put a stopper to your usual recruitment process. Do not let it stand in the way. Now is the time to find new ways to recruit top end-to-end supply chain talent. Video conferencing software is part of the solution.

โ€œItโ€™s important that companies set up regular calls with candidates to keep them engaged and to ensure that they donโ€™t take a role with another company during this period,โ€ suggest Tom Willis, Managing Principal Consultant at DSJ Global. โ€œSome companies are already doing virtual site tours or using interactive photos to demonstrate the environment.โ€

Decisions are always possible to be made later during the probation period as well. Get it started: as speed is the issueโ€”competition never sleeps!โ€
