The art of getting to know candidates beyond their CVs

At Crearte Consulting we define ourselves as passionate about Nethunting. We are experts in personnel recruitment through the Internet. Social networks, professional networks and job portals are ideal tools to put companies in contact with the candidates that best fit them. But to get to know the candidates and find the ideal one, you have to go much further than just analysing their CVs.

Your ideal candidate is on the Internet, we find him/her

In the digital age, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to search for candidates online. This is known as Nethunting or online talent hunting. It is a technique that consists of finding and attracting professionals through the use of digital tools.

But Nethunting goes beyond simply finding a candidate with a suitable profile. It is about getting to know the person beyond their CV. In other words, it allows us to get to know the skills, interests and professional objectives of a candidate more deeply and completely.

Nowadays, practically all companies use social networks to find out about their potential candidates. As a consultancy, we have created a method that meets two of today’s essential conditions: it is fast and effective.

To carry out effective Nethunting, it is important to use a wide variety of tools and techniques. Some of them can be:

  • Reviewing the candidate’s social media presence: their LinkedIn profile, their activity on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, etc. This can give us an idea of their interests and how they relate to other professionals in their sector.
  • Check the candidate’s blogs or online publications: if the applicant has a blog or has published in any digital media, we can learn more about their opinions and knowledge in their field of expertise.
  • Do a Google search: sometimes a simple Google search can yield interesting results about the candidate, such as conferences they have attended or projects they have been involved in.
  • Use online assessment tools: some platforms offer skills and competency assessments to get to know a candidate better

Nethunting, a methodology adapted to today’s needs

Nethunting can also be described as a very useful technique to get to know candidates more deeply and find the perfect professional for a company. In addition, it saves time and resources in the search for candidates, as it can be done quickly and efficiently via the Internet. In addition to their qualifications, the candidate’s interests, personalities and tastes can also be relevant for some positions.

On the other hand, it is interesting to note that just as the company is looking for certain characteristics in the person who is going to fill the vacancy, it must also make the applicant feel attracted to it.

It is important to bear in mind that Nethunting is helped by face-to-face interviews or interviews via videoconference. We can still conduct face-to-face interviews to get to know the candidates better and make sure they fit the company culture.

Nowadays, social networks tell us a lot about people’s interests and way of life. That is why it is important to be careful about what you post, share and comment on the internet. Publications made on any social network can contribute to a good or bad image of yourself.

At Crearte Consulting we like challenges, that’s why we are committed to finding the right candidate for the position you need to fill in just seven days.

Advantages of online recruitment processes

As technology advances, so do personnel selection processes. At Crearte we are experts in Nethunting, which means that we use all the means available on the internet to find the ideal candidate for your company.

Online recruitment processes are an increasingly popular tool for recruiting personnel, and, as we will see below, they offer a series of significant advantages over traditional processes.

The Nethuntig and the online recruitment process

One of the main advantages of online recruitment processes is the ability to reach a much wider audience. Through social media, job websites, apps, etc., companies can reach a large number of potential candidates. On the other hand, online recruitment processes allow candidates to apply for jobs from anywhere in the world, which means that companies have access to a much wider and more diverse candidate base.

Another important advantage of online recruitment processes is the ability to automate certain recruitment tasks. For example, by using automated recruitment software, companies can save time in performing certain tasks such as reading CVs, taking tests or scoring answers. This means that a large number of applications can be reviewed in a much shorter time, allowing the best candidates to be identified more efficiently.

Online selection processes also offer greater transparency and objectivity in the selection of candidates. By using standardised tests and automated questionnaires, companies can evaluate candidates objectively and fairly. This helps ensure that the best candidates are selected, regardless of their background or previous experience.

A method that allows us to find the ideal candidates

At Crearte Consulting we are committed to Nethunting as a candidate selection process because we achieve:

  • Greater reach: Online selection processes allow companies to reach a much wider audience of candidates, both nationally and internationally.
  • Increased efficiency: The automation of selection tasks through the use of automated selection software allows a large number of applications to be verified in a much shorter time, which helps to identify the best candidates more efficiently.
  • Cost savings: Online recruitment processes allow companies to save significant costs compared to traditional processes, as there is no need to print and send CVs, or pay for printed advertisements.
  • Transparency and objectivity: Online recruitment processes allow candidates to be assessed objectively and fairly, which helps to ensure that the best candidates are selected regardless of more personal characteristics.
  • Speed: Online recruitment processes allow the best candidates to be selected and recruited much more quickly compared to traditional processes.
  • Some studies suggest that online selection processes can generate less bias and improve diversity in recruitment, as tools and techniques can be used to evaluate candidates more impartially.

However, at Crearte, as specialists in Nethunting, we are committed to a more complete selection method that involves conducting interviews, first online and then face-to-face between candidates and recruiters. The Crearte method!
