Companies changed or grew slowly and customer expectations were relatively static. \u00a0Then something happened. \u00a0Use of the Internet became more widespread and sophisticated and disrupted our thinking about what it means to run a business. Internet enabled mobile devices added fuel to the fire and today\u2019s mobile, flexible, and social company was born. This \u201cpost-cubicle\u201d reality has impacted the staffing industry, perhaps unlike any other. Staffing firms must not only decide how to integrate new ideas about work for their own business, but must adapt to the new communication preferences and work habits of their clients and job candidates. Firms that are slow to accept this new reality are likely to struggle while those who embrace it will be poised to take advantage of this important shift in how work gets done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI used to get paid for going to work; now I get paid for doing work.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More and more staffing organizations are embracing the idea of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoretelsky.com\/virtual-office-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\">remote or flexible work<\/a> for recruiters. There is strong evidence that allowing some people to work from outside the office:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improves employee morale and retention<\/li>\n<li>Makes it easier to hire the most qualified recruiters, not just the ones nearest to the office<\/li>\n<li>Reduces overhead costs and potentially even real estate costs<\/li>\n<li>Increases productivity<\/li>\n<li>Provides benefits social benefits, like reducing traffic and minimizing carbon emissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, remote work comes with challenges for recruiters and management alike. \u00a0 Integration of people who are not in the office every day with the normal communication structure can be difficult, making remote workers feel disconnected or seem unavailable. \u00a0Perhaps more importantly, it can be tough to manage performance and ensure quality when recruiters work virtually and can\u2019t be easily observed by their managers.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, new technologies are being developed every day that make integrating remote workers seamlessly into an organization easier than ever before. Because recruiters live and die on the phone, Unified Communications solutions play a big part in this new paradigm. \u00a0The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoretelsky.com\/hosted-pbx\/\" target=\"_blank\">best hosted PBX solutions<\/a> provide phones that are extensions of the corporate office system. \u00a0This enables four digit dialing, call transfer, conferencing and all the other phone system features that employees enjoy in the office. \u00a0Because managers must get the same productivity from remote employees as they do from those in the building, firms should look for solutions that enable remote coaching and training along with those that provide sophisticated business intelligence for recognizing and rewarding best practices.<\/p>\n<p>Firms that rely on Bullhorn as their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/products\/recruitment-crm\/\">recruitment CRM<\/a>\u00a0are in a prime position to take advantage of the benefits of remote work. \u00a0A unified communications solution that is designed to support remote work and is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoretelsky.com\/products\/application-integration\/connect-for-bullhorn\/\" target=\"_blank\">integrated with the Bullhorn solution<\/a> makes both applications even more powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing remote work is not something to be taken lightly, but firms who are able to utilize available technology and smart management techniques will be well positioned to attract the best talent, increase placements and gain competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p><em>This Bullhorn Blog post was written by Amber Newman.\u00a0Amber Newman is a corporate communications and marketing professional with nineteen years\u2019 experience in business-to-business software, SaaS and services.
