Hey HR Mavericks!
In the era of Zoom fatigue and the ever-present specter of COVID, HR superheroes, it’s time to put on your capes and embrace the power of virtual interviews like never before!
Why Virtual? Because Safety First, Laughter Second:
As COVID fears skyrocket faster than my grandma’s bingo numbers, it’s crucial to keep our teams safe. But who said interviews can’t be both productive and chuckle-inducing from the comfort of our own homes?
Step 1: LinkedIn Live or Facebook Live – Choose Your Comedy Arena:
LinkedIn Live: The Professional Comedy Club
- Picture this: A live interview on the professional stage of LinkedIn. Your candidates showcasing their skills while navigating the perils of unstable internet connections – it’s the virtual tightrope walk we never knew we needed.
Facebook Live: The Casual Comedy Lounge
- Or, opt for the more relaxed ambiance of Facebook Live. The virtual living room where interviews become a cozy chat, and candidates might accidentally introduce you to their pet parrot – interview gold, right?
Step 2: The Invitations – Crafting Comedy in Calamity:
Subject: “Your Invitation to the Virtual Funhouse!”
- Start with a quirky subject line. Think: “Join the Virtual Circus: We Promise, No Clowning Around (Okay, Maybe a Little).”
Step 3: The Virtual Background Contest:
Challenge Candidates to “Background Wars”
- Candidates, unleash your creativity! Show us your quirkiest virtual backgrounds. The winner gets the coveted title of “Master of the Virtual Universe” and a year’s supply of virtual confetti.
Step 4: Tech Glitches – Turning Bloopers into Belly Laughs:
Acknowledge the Inevitable Tech Hiccups
- Embrace the tech gremlins! When someone freezes mid-sentence, turn it into a game of freeze tag. “Oh, Sarah, you’re it! Unfreeze and tell us about your proudest work moment.”
Step 5: The Final Bow – Making Offers with Panache:
Make the Job Offer an Oscar-Worthy Moment
- Picture this: You, in a virtual bowtie, announcing the job offer with confetti cannons going off in the background. It’s not just a job offer; it’s a Hollywood-level production.
Why This Approach? Because Laughter is the Best Antivirus:
- It’s Memorable: Candidates will remember the interview, not for the anxiety, but for the unexpected hilarity.
- Humanizes the Process: Virtual interviews don’t have to be sterile. Let’s infuse them with the warmth of humor and a dash of personality.
- Shows Adaptability: In the face of uncertainties, showing that we can adapt with a smile is a superpower in itself.
In conclusion, dear HR trailblazers, let’s transform the virtual interview arena into a laughter-filled spectacle. Because in the world of hiring, a good laugh is the best handshake.
Ready to go viral with virtual interviews? The stage is set, the curtain is up – let the comedy interviews begin!
