Recruiting is done differently now, and for many, especially those traditionally underrepresented within the workplace, this is a welcome change.
A recent survey by Handshake, the largest job site for college students, reveals that hopes are high among the new generation of job candidates, and that for most, virtual recruiting methods are a preferred way to communicate with potential employers. Eight out of 10 respondents believe they can find a well-paying job, 82% said they will be able to find a personally fulfilling job, and 87% believe they will find a job in a field they are interested in. The majority of Hispanic, Black, Asian, and female applicants say they prefer virtual interviews to be a part of the process.
