Add Video to iConnect Onboarding

A recent blog post from SHRM  shares 10 Virtual Onboarding Tips For Remote Employees. With so many people now working from home, and being hired for work at home positions, onboarding procedures have had to adjust to this new normal. SHRM recommends creating checklists, making sure the new hire has a company mentor, and also using Video to introduce your company’s procedures.

There is something very welcoming about watching and listening to another colleague perform a task and it’s a great way to both onboard and train new hires. Bonus points if you use multiple employees to record videos in order to introduce more of your company! – Quincy Smith, ESL Authority

At iRecruit, we love this approach. It’s also very easy for iRecruit customers to implement video at various stages:

  • Add to company page
  • Add to job post or video job description
  • Add to “thank you” screen
  • Add to menu in applicant portal “about us”
  • Add to iConnect (onboarding) as a to-do (view) for the new hire

iRecruit customers have used video for new hires for training purposes, and for welcoming new hires.
