Eliminate the Borders between Organizations and Top Talent

As the workforce becomes increasingly virtual and skilled talent shortages become larger the search for the perfect candidate has also increased its scope. As a result, video interviews are a must have recruiting tool.  Also, as hiring becomes more global, both for employers and candidates, video interviewing is a way to expedite the interview process. Hiring managers and recruiters can conduct first round interviews more quickly, save on transportation costs, and get the interview process started much faster using video conferencing than they can schedule in-person interviews.

As competition for talent becomes more and more fierce, speed of hire is also an imperative. Rather than interview one candidate after another and attempt to recount the takeaways weeks or even months later, a hiring manager or recruiter can build a digital interview, share it with many candidates, and review the applications as many times as they like. They can also invite colleagues to review the interviews and provide their feedback in a structured and transparent manner.

In an upcoming HCI webcast, we will discuss a new way of assessing candidates and how to add the ability to adjust the weight of your questions based on job relevance when using virtual interviewing. We will also look at the correlations between the interviewer’s scores to help identify assessor quality, allowing for potential training opportunities.
