Recruiters are always under pressure to find and hire amazing candidates—especially at smaller companies where every hire has an outsized impact.

For many recruiters, around half of the recruiting process is simply… asking questions.Ask the wrong questions, then, and you risk making this process a lot longer than it needs to be. One way to massively reduce the time spent on the interview process is to use a one-way-interview solution like Willo, which helps companies save hundreds of hours on their interview process. In this guide, we'll unveil the top recruitment questions that will streamline your hiring journey, helping you identify the ideal fit quickly and avoid unnecessary setbacks.

That new grad you hired today might eventually become the CEO. But even if they don’t, you want them to be high-quality individual contributors and possibly managers or team leaders in the future. ‍Achieving any of those goals–from simple productivity to C-Suite succession–starts with new graduate onboarding. Now VP of Finance at Willo, Kevin Swan worked at a global consultancy for eight years, both going through their new graduate program and later supporting graduate recruiting at the firm as a member of the tech M&A team. ‍Looking back on his experience with new graduate programs, Kevin shared his perspective on three crucial onboarding elements that every corporation needs in place for day one. 

At Willo, October means one thing. No, not Pumpkin Spice Latte season or scary movies - Dyslexia Awareness. The Month of October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, where organisations and businesses across the globe raise awareness and highlight the continued efforts to make the world as accessible as possible to people with dyslexia.

Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) can be stressful. First, you have to wade through the options—onshore or outsourced being the big question to consider. Then you might need to assess multiple candidates before selecting someone. ‍And while the process is similar to hiring full-time employees, there are some unique elements to navigate.‍ This mini-guide explains those unique elements and how to manage the whole thing.

Ok, so campus visits are out now?‍ Or are they back on? ‍ During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health restrictions provided a great excuse for why new grad hiring had to be all remote. Candidates forgave some shortcomings and less-than-ideal experiences. Now, things are changing.‍ To keep up in the changing world, companies need to take the best of the old ways—namely, the focus on human interaction—and leverage the best of technology—speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency—to build a new kind of recruiting funnel.‍ While we recommend all new grad funnels have some in-person elements if possible, you can still build a high quality, fully virtual funnel. Here’s what you need to know.

With high volume hiring or mass hiring, it’s a numbers game. However, you’re still dealing with real people who deserve respect regardless of the hiring decision. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to make a great candidate experience.

Recruiters are burning out at an increasing rate. It’s easy to blame the great resignation and the shift to remote work (then hybrid work) and call it a day. But that’s too easy. The real problem isn’t the challenges we face—those will always come—it’s the processes and systems we have to handle them. In short: we need to upgrade recruiting systems to match the reality we now live in. And an upgraded system includes video interviewing (powered by a purpose-built video interview tool) as part of your recruiting process.
