On Friday, I received a call from a sales agent of Monster, one of the biggest job engines in the Internet. I had left them a written note saying that I would appreciate some advice on how to find somebody who is willing to work in a virtual company. Not an easy task for traditional recruiters who are used to search in local markets. It should be a more easy task for an Internet based recruiter.
The devil is in the detail: are job searchers prepared for an employment in a virtual company? Shall I look for employees at all? Or better for a service provider who wrks for us on a service contract? In the latter case, how can build up loyalty, how can we motivate our staff? How have other virtual companies dealt with this issue?
The first contact with the sales agent of Monster did not provide me with an answer to my questions. Rather, the agent told me about the different option Monster offers for designed job announcement, either in one country or several countries. She tried to do her best to sell me somethign.
I am not there yet. Before I start to think how my placement will look like, I need some coaching on the process, At the end, she gave up on me and promised that her colleague will call me on Monday…
