FROM DECEMBER 2015'S RECRUITER MAGAZINE

James Ballard
co-founder and partner of Annapurna Recruitment on why companies want in-house recruiters with tech knowledge

“Technology has moved from being a purely support function to being a revenue generator, and if you hire the person that builds the app and makes you be that disruptive business then that’s basically the crux of whether or not you are successful
as a business.”

Charles Hipp

WCN chief executive on the increasing use of asynchronous interviews by recruiters

“It’s not face-to-face... They ask candidates to record a two-minute video. You ask questions and they record answers. It’s a way of assessing someone’s oral communication skills when before all you had was a piece of paper. This gives you something about the non-verbal skills [of the candidate] as well.”

Jane McDonald
head of engagement at job board Diversity Jobs on recruiting in diversity of thinking

“It’s moving away from bringing in the same people in who just mirror who you are and what your background is. For some roles we know you need particular qualifications but there are different ways to think… They may not necessarily have the same qualifications you always looked for.”
