Hiring in the Future (cont. ) • The tests and applications will be done on line, even if applying in person, at a central location, so that managers can go to a central online site to search for employees. • All the manager will have to do is go online and type in several characteristics of the type of employee he/she needs, wait a few seconds and a list of employees that fit this description will come up. Managers will then choose which ones are interview worthy.

Hiring in the Future (the end) • Once the manager chooses several application, the applicants can be call for interviews. The interview will be done either in person or by video conferencing. • Hiring employees will still be an easy task for mangers.
