A Better Way to Interview

The demands on you and your time are greater than ever. We know. We’ve witnessed the change in hiring trends. It’s evolving quickly. Paper resumes, phone screenings, and in-person interviews are no longer the only logical methods of finding new employees.

A more efficient and innovative solution has arrived: Live Virtual Interviews.

Industry experts predict that in just a few short years, live virtual interviews will become a hiring standard for all initial interviews. Many organizations have already adopted live virtual interviews as a best practice.

Here’s why:

Save Time and Money

The due diligence necessary during the hiring process can now be done more economically. Travel has become increasingly expensive and time-consuming. Live virtual interviews significantly reduce or eliminate the need for domestic and international travel, and can be typically conducted for less than $100 per hour.

Reduce Time-to-Hire

Weeks of waiting for scheduled travel and in-person interviews are shortened or eliminated with live virtual interviews. All interviewers are not required to be in the same room at the same time, easing scheduling and travel stress that build up over multiple interviews. Hiring managers also have the ability to meet with candidates remotely, finding more time to interview as a result.

Increase Candidate Pool

Interviewing more candidates in this fashion increases an employer’s opportunity to make the right hire for an open position. By hiring the best person who has a positive long-term impact, a company improves its competitive position in their industry. In offering the chance to interview virtually, hiring organizations encourage more qualified candidates to apply.

Improve Candidate Experience

By not requiring a candidate to be away from home and current employment for multiple days, the hiring organization shows that they’re respectful of the candidate’s time and work-life balance. With the ability to meet with employers from their home, a candidate can be more relaxed while avoiding the typical travel-related inconveniences like airport crowds, security restrictions, flight delays, and uncomfortable seating.

Advance Employment Branding

Live virtual interviews provide an opportunity for hiring organizations to position their brand as progressive, innovative and environmentally conscious. Clients can customize or private label their specific virtual interview web sites with company logo, color scheme, and messaging. Links and buttons displayed on a custom-branded site can direct each candidate to the company’s career site when clicked.

Reduce Environmental Impact

Live virtual interviews done through browser-based technology reduces a hiring organization’s carbon footprint and impact on the environment related to travel associated with conducting a regional, national, or international candidate search.
