Having excellent communication is paramount for any business, and any team. To fully implement all the tools at your disposal to make hiring easier, you need to know what those tools are. Here are a few of the top team communication tools every business should use.
The following options work well to use as standalone tools or to pair up with other similar tools.
Slack
Slack is a communication tool that allows your team to chat, send audio and video clips, or hop on a huddle to talk things out live. It’s entry-level and easy so even beginners can use it. One good thing about it other than the obvious is that you can combine everything so that you do not have to monitor the other software you have. And if there are any updates, you’re told well in advance so you can plan for it.
Zoom
By now, most people have heard of this popular way of staying in touch with employees, business partners, interviewees, and more.
Zoom allows video calls one-on-one, mass video conferencing, and group calls. Users can change how they look, hide their background for privacy reasons, and more. This is perfect for things like webinars or a large conference – or if you simply want to conduct an interview with one person. There are free and paid plans, and obviously the paid plans offer more tools.
Discord
What started as a gaming platform, Discord has evolved into something business owners can use. While it’s not ideal for large conferences, it does allow up to 50 users at a time. It can handle several voice channels within one organization simultaneously, and can act both as messenger and audio chat.
GoToMeeting
This is a good alternative to Slack if you’re looking for something else. Ideal for webinars and training, there is no software to download since it’s all based online. That’s great for hiring and similar things where you new users may not want to add new software or learn how to use something new just for an interview.
There are plenty of choices out there for the top team communication tools, and these are just a few. And while in-person meetings may be best, that’s not always possible. In those cases, you may find a lot of merit with these communication platforms – and best of all, most are free in a limited capacity.
