It's not about the money anymore: Why remote jobs should use talent acquisition services

AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 9, 2023 - PRLog -- Remote work may be the most popular choice for Americans and most workers around the world, but not every remote job is created equal. Job candidates and current staff are paying attention to the features a remote job offers, and whether it matches with their ideals, when deciding whether to apply for a vacancy or leave the company. According to the CEO of a recruitment firm, this unexpected scrutiny shows why businesses can benefit from using talent acquisition services to attract the best candidate for the role.

"In the modern workforce, jobs aren't primarily about the money anymore," says Joseph Boll, CEO of RemoteWorker.jobs, a market-leading recruitment firm dedicated solely to connecting talented jobseekers with hiring managers, employers and HR personnel seeking the best candidates for remote or hybrid roles within the United States. "Americans want remote jobs, but not at the expense of their mental health, so they are more selective about the remote job they apply for."

Boll explained that studies and testimonials from jobseekers show they are paying attention to things like company policy to gauge an employer's ethics and culture. Prospective candidates want to know whether a company supports diversity and inclusion, commits to sustainability, respects work-life balance and more. For instance, research from Georgia Tech indicates that jobseekers value remote jobs that also promise flexibility and high ethical standing are more desirable than those that have turned a blind eye to DEI goals. Similarly, a study from Indeed found that LGBT+ candidates were more hesitant to apply for a remote job if the company's headquarters was located in a state that has passed anti-LGBT legislation.

"It can be easy to post a job online but difficult to get these very important points across, and to know which points about your company you should highlight," Boll says. "The modern job hunt is no longer a matter of looking at the salary and the job description alone, so businesses need to put more effort into making sure the message of who they are is front and center. Talent acquisition services like those offered by RemoteWorker.jobs can help them get it done right, just like we help jobseekers make sure they land the perfect match."
