With
college classes coming to an end and summer around the corner, it's time to
start thinking about those summer interns. With so many students out
there wanting experience and knocking at your door to get it, what is your
strategy to “thin the herd”? With
unemployment still hovering at elevated levels, internships will be even more
competitive and companies will struggle to identify those best qualified. Here's a powerful idea that can make this
laborious process much easier; Video.
College students of today were
born in the early 90’s, which means they’ve been exposed to technology since
the day they could talk; a smart phone is an assumed accessory and a
"landline" has to be explained in detail. This generation has
complete comfort with social media and video – there is no hesitancy for
change. So, why not expedite your hiring process and show potential
interns your company is on board with new technology? Everybody wants to
work for companies that “get it”!
Are you specific in what you're looking
for? Are their certain majors that will work better for your business?
Not a problem. When an intern is applying for your
opening, use video and have them answer specific questions that you know are
imperative to their success in your company. Let the computer be your
gate keeper and all you have to do is click, watch the video, decide and move
on...really, it's that convenient. Plus, you can view the videos any time
and share them with others involved in the decision making process.
