Just How Effective an Online Interview Can Be?

02-02-2022 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

 

virtual interview

 

Virtual or online Interviews became crucial in 2020 for the main reason that we all know (Corona Virus Pandemic). Most companies require a stay-at-home job to maximize the social distancing due to the pandemic. Many professionals believe that these online interviews are the most effective way in terms of hiring and recruiting. 

When we look carefully, nearly 50% of 1,140 hiring managers stated that they are planning to use a combination of on-person and online interviews, on the report of a study authorized by HireVue (end-to-end Hiring Experience Platform), a video interview and assessment provider. According to the findings, 23% of respondents intend to only use virtual interviewing.

Will online interviews remain as an option or will it go away? Many believe that this course of action is the most essential during this time. Here are the most helpful ways to look just how effective an online interview can be:

The hiring procedures are shortened.

Interviews can be scheduled through the internet easily and prevent scheduling implications. When you’re attempting to plan a face-to-face interview with 20 people, it can take a long time to figure out a time that suits everyone. It’s a balancing act that sometimes causes the hiring process to be delayed needlessly, which is one of the reasons for the 36-day average hiring time. 

For both the applicant and the recruiter, video interviews that are recorded improve the hiring process. Hiring managers can study candidates’ responses at their leisure, and candidates can answer the questions at their leisure. You’ll still save time if you use real-time video calls because you don’t have to factor in transit time on either end.

Ensure more Consistency 

It’s safe to say that when we are in face-to-face interviews, it’s easy to be distracted. It is easy to forget to tackle a specific issue or run out of time if you strive to be consistent with your inquiries. It also means that each candidate will have a slightly distinct interview experience, making it more difficult to compare candidates. You can eliminate this problem by using automated interviews, which allow you to interview all applicants at the same time.  

Increase recruiting diversity

Talking about online interviews, online interviews can be just like virtual job auditions! Those job simulations could be run on a large scale for dozens of applicants at the same time and in the same environment. This implies that no matter what their résumé says, every candidate has an equal chance to shine. Allowing distant applicants who may or may not have the time or money to make it into the office in person to participate in the hiring process expands your applicant pool.

Extremely lowered costs

In order to film a video interview, applicants don’t have to leave the safety of their own home, which saves them money on tickets, food, and hotel costs. Employees, on the other side, save money by not having to book a space for their applicants’ interviews. In addition, after the interview is finished, both sides can resume their usual tasks, ensuring that no one’s productivity is hampered.

Time saver

There will be hundreds of candidates for every job opportunity, which is wonderful since it helps a recruiter to choose the best candidate for the job. There are, however, a number of exceptional prospects who either get lost in the shuffle, or the interviewers completely forget about them after evaluating 50 other people. With video interviews, the recruiter can go back anytime to watch and review the interview again to ensure that the top prospects for the job have been chosen.

Companies can save time & expense by conducting interviews online. For most businesses, online interviewing is the ideal alternative because it is less expensive than interviewing dozens of people.

Meeting an applicant in person affords the best potential for actual engagement, despite the fact that many would agree that video provides a more intimate connection than a phone call.

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
