10 Skills Now Critiqued by Potential New Employers Who Want to Assess An Employee’s Ability to Work Remotely, From Home
Make Sure Your References Validate Your Suitability for Home/Remote Employment
DETROIT (April 8, 2022) – “Fully 91.7 % of corporate clients are asking for new types of rankings for potential employees when we call their former companies,” according to Jeff Shane of Allison & Taylor, The Reference Checking Company.
Not All Employees Are Good Candidates for Working at Home, Employers Want Feedback About Their Suitability For Home/Remote Employment – Here are 10 new criteria frequently invoked in this era of “working remotely”, to assess how candidates previously performed in home/remote capacities:
- Sufficiently tech savvy for remote work
- Self-starter
- Self-disciplined
- Productive in a remote environment
- Adaptable to change
- Skilled communicator & documenter
- Troubleshooting skills when interacting with other work-at-home peers/management
- Reliable judgement
- Ability to cope with family distractions
- Employee satisfaction and ability to thrive in a remote working environment
With approximately 1 in 3 new hires leaving a company within 2 years, it is clear that employer costs can add up very quickly. Initial selection of the right candidates has the potential to save corporations millions of dollars over a period of years.
Candidates also have a vested interest in putting their best foot forward. They are well advised to have a separate list – independent of their resumes, but in the same font/format – of their references readily available to be given to a prospective employer upon request.
To find out what your former boss will say about your “work at home skills”, please visit Allison & Taylor, The Reference Checking Company. Or call 800-890-5645.
