Get to Know About the Latest LinkedIn Feature that Encourages Digital Recruitment

With 675 million+ members, LinkedIn is the best place for all the individual to manage their professional identity, build, and engage with the different professional network. It allows you to access knowledge, insights, and opportunities. 

COVID-19 has apparently affected different industries and this has also affected the people who are looking for jobs. The unaffected industry, digital marketing, has grown a lot from the past few months, and this is why with the clients getting on board and the workload getting doubled, people are looking forward to recruitment. Even other industries are doing so. 

And, this is when LinkedIn added a new video intro and interview assessment tool to improve digital recruitment. 

It can be hard to know if a candidate fits like a missing piece in the required role by just reading and reviewing the resume. So, this update is an ace in this virtual environment where everything has moved online. 

LinkedIn is aiding this situation by rolling out this new way to help employers and candidates connect via video which is in fact the increasingly important consideration during this COVID-19 lockdown. 

• With more job interviews being conducted online due to isolation, it is the safest and best approach. 
• LinkedIn is already trending! People who were once untouched by the perks of it, are now enabling and moving fast towards it for recruitment and for employment too. 

This is how the job seeker experience looks like -

This above picture showcases a new video introduction process, which enables recruiters to ask the candidate to post responses to the asked questions in the form of video. 

“This helps to assess communication skills and presentation of the person!”

Wonder how the recruiter will see your profile? This is how -

It has all the required things which the recruiter wants to know with a video intro of you!

It is also launching a new, AI-enabled assessment tool that can help the interviewers to interview candidates easily, and effectively. It is also a relief to the discomfort caused due to the pandemic. 

What does this AI-enabled tool do?

• Enables users to record themselves answering the common interview questions. 
• Provides AI-generated feedback on the given answer which includes notes on pacing, use of ‘filler words’, phrases to avoid, etc. 

Can you spot all the things that I have stated above in this picture clearly in the rightmost bottom corner? Yes, this is how the entire assessment tool works. 

It is the best innovation till now! 

If you are the one that has issues regarding speaking to a person and you kind of lose everything because of it! Then, here is the chance, talking to a webcam will be much more comfortable and valuable for you rather than talking to an actual person. You experience yourself growing as an individual and losing all the worries and anxieties. Moreover, it will give you the confidence to be you and will lead to improvements in the real world. 

Plus, the feedback will tell you where you can improve more!

Both tools are an amazing invention in the current situation. As of now, every interview is already being held online, but now it would be more easy, comfortable, and effective with these tools. 

And, yeah, we wish to go out, wish to get back to normal life, but have you noticed the stereotypes being break down in pieces! Before ‘Work from Home’, was a taboo, now more businesses are moving towards more remote working options which benefits smaller communities, provides access to wider candidates, and most importantly improves people’s overall quality of life by setting up more barriers between the work-life and personal life. 

I even think, people will be drifting towards work from home, and traveling with their families, and taking up most of the time. 

This was all in the update corner of this week!

Stay safe, stay home, so that we don’t have to see more versions of lockdown!
