In order to attract today’s applicants it is becoming increasingly important that companies adapt their selection tools to applicants’ needs. During the pre-selection process candidates decide if this is a company they want to work for or not.
Providing a positive candidate experience and an attractive hiring process is crucial for your recruiting if you do not want to lose qualified applicants, as this image shows:
Knowing this, here are 7 reasons why applicants are excited by video interviewing:
- With video interviews, they present themselves and their skills, as a supplement to their written documents. The videos give a more personal impression than a candidate’s resume or cover letter.
- They present to several decision makers at the same time. This is because the short videos allow executives to get involved earlier in the process.
- Recording the video is easy! They decide where and when they want to take the interview.
- It’s a fair and uniform process. This is because all candidates have the same exact questions with the same preparation and answer times.
- The whole recruitment process is speed up. They get a quicker decision as to whether they fit the company and the advertised position.
- Their data is securely stored on servers that are only accessible to authorized individuals. For example, the videos cannot be forwarded via email.
- All they need is a computer with a webcam (usually included) and an internet connection.
