While the campus hiring by firms has begun amid the COVID-19 pandemic, tech firms are banking on remote hiring tools, including online assessment tools.
A recent report by HackerEarth titled ‘The State of Developer Recruitment 2020’ stated that 47 percent of Indian tech recruiters have switched to online assessment tools instead of manual hiring processes.
“COVID-19 has accelerated the shift towards remote hiring tools. 30.7 percent of respondents said that remote hiring had increased their sourcing funnel,” Hindu BusinessLine quoted the report as saying.
Elaborating on diversity and inclusion hiring, the report claimed that firms are opting for ‘elimination of bias and standardising the hiring process’ as main drivers to avoid bias.
