It doesn’t matter how small or how large your business is; remote hiring strategy outpaced the traditional hiring for the past year. Amid ongoing disruptions, companies are leveraging new ways to find, hire, and retain talent. The Human Resources (HR) team will play a crucial role in developing talent acquisition and retention strategies.
It’s been challenging to interview, onboard, and conduct induction programs amid the Covid-19 outbreak, but it is possible if recruiting and hiring managers collaborate with the HR team to achieve a common goal. Said Kasturi Rao — — HR Manager, Amzur Technologies.

Hiring the best talent has never been easy for companies with limited internal resources and a lack of process. If you are grappling with talent acquisition and retention, here are the top three ways you can adopt to ensure the best talent on board at the right time.
3 best ways to hire and retain top talent:
- Nurture a flexible work environment with the right technology:
With the availability of vaccination, there is a sense of normalcy back to the workplace and everyday life. However, many organizations across the globe continue to navigate the outbreak by embracing remote hiring strategies.
As employees are working from their couches amid the Covid-19, there is a need for promoting flexible working hours instead of rigid 9–5 jobs. With the unforeseen disruption, many employees are experiencing laptop life a bit early around the globe. Isn’t it?
Despite the outbreak, there are many proven instances that flexible working hours and remote working can help businesses improve employee engagement and productivity too.
Above all, communication is the key while working remotely. Embracing the right technology tools and bringing remote employees together can overcome challenges in the project development and deliverables.
At Amzur, we use Monday.com, Keka, and other Microsoft products to ensure everyone in the team is on the same page.
2. Hire the best talent and treat them well:
It’s been difficult for companies to hire the best talent amid Covid-19. Many companies are still struggling to strategize their hiring approach and nurture them.
It is imperative to treat remote employees well as they would be in-person in the office. Encourage the existing employees to interact with new hires to share information, knowledge, and build a cohesive culture. But driving employee engagement doesn’t come easy.
According to new research of more than 600 US businesses with 50–500 employees, 63.3% of companies say retaining employees is actually harder than hiring them.
In a nutshell, if you want to stay on top of the “war of talent”, invest in employee engagement, wellness, training & development, and happiness. If you observe the recent trends, especially, millennials are preferring companies that offer better employee engagement and professional development benefits over perks.
3. Be transparent about your business plans:
The ways of hiring and the role of office workspace have changed dramatically over the past year. Amid the ongoing outbreak, some business owners say they intend to allow employees to work remotely for some time, while other companies are allowing employees to work remotely full-time.
Being transparent is the key to any organization’s success. It’s hard to predict an exact timeline for normal return-to-office. So, companies must revamp their remote working policies and ensure timely communication to avoid unnecessary disturbances.
