Overall job employment is two percentage points below the long-term average which shifts much of the power in the hiring dynamic to the candidates. Because of this shift in the power dynamic, companies must make sure they put their best foot forward. So how does one make a great first impression? The good news is that it’s not complicated: greet the candidate with a smile, shake their hand, and always remember to be courteous. Of course, in an increasingly mobile work environment many interviews are happening virtually. You’ll just need to adjust by bringing even more energy in order for that welcoming excitement to translate to the screen.
