From the interview to the onboarding process, virtual recruitment has emerged as the “new normal” as face-to-face interviews and office tours become a distant memory. Akamai Technologies, a global internet and cloud computing company, is one of the many companies that have adapted to attracting candidates, hiring and onboarding virtually.

Sandy shares her journey and insights leading the Talent Acquisition through this new way of working, including:

• Hiring and onboarding virtually, from interns to technical roles.

• Leveraging your employer brand to attract candidates.

• The future of recruitment: virtual, physical; or hybrid.
