Jobseekers across the country will be able to interview for thousands of jobs from the safety of their home next week when the UK’s largest job site Indeed launches its first virtual National Hiring Days on November 10-11.
Indeed’s new virtual interview technology means people can book their own interview slots for roles from across a range of sectors including retail, logistics and care and even wait for their appointment in a virtual ‘lobby’.
For employers, the National Hiring Days remove technical hurdles and speed up the interviewing timeline by delegating the administrative tasks to Indeed. It reduces the time to hire from an average of six weeks to a matter of days or even make on-the-spot job offers.
More than one dozen companies are taking part in the free event with some 2,000 roles on offer across England and Scotland.
| Sector and employers | Available jobs | ||
| Retail: Morrisons, Lidl | 300 | ||
| Insurance: Direct Line Group | 100 | ||
| Logistics: DHL, Yodel, UPS | 460+ | ||
| Care: Bupa Care Homes, HC-One, Four Seasons Healthcare, Voyage Care Group, Care UK, Priory Group, Elysium Healthcare, The Orders of St Johns Care Trust, Maria Mallaband, Affinity Trust, Sunrise Senior Living | 1000+ |
The hiring drive comes as unemployment has risen to its highest level in three years and hundreds of thousands of people have been made redundant after Covid-19 turned the jobs market on its head.
The online setting means that those living under newly imposed Covid-19 measures are given the opportunity to connect to potential employers.
