How Video Interviewing at the Beginning of your Hiring Process Can Reap Huge Rewards

Decrease Hiring Time, Increase Candidate Quality and Reduce Unconscious Bias

The demand for skilled and qualified workers in a tight labour market has never been more fiercely competitive. Time is of the essence so it’s critical to employ the latest in automated interviewing technologies to get the edge over your competitors, while at the same time reducing recruitment expenses and speeding up the process.

1. Video Interviewing Decreases Time-to-Hire

Time-to-hire in a competitive marketplace is critical. Especially when a new generation of graduates launches itself into the work world. When you attract strong candidates for your offered position, you need to act quickly. In the past, this meant scheduling and rescheduling endless in-person and phone interviews taking up several weeks or even months.

With video interviewing, you can send the interview link to numerous candidates simultaneously. They complete the video within a given time frame at their convenience and within a few days, your first round is done! You’re then ready to compile a shortlist for ready for the next round, which could be either another video round or, depending on the length of your list, in-person interviews.

2. Video Interviewing Increases Candidate Quality

Quality of candidates is critical to ensure a successful hire who’ll stay the distance and perform. Vieple reduces the risk of “bad hires” by using cognitive testing to ensure that only the most capable candidates are chosen. This reduces the risk of hiring candidates that are less competent or ineffective for the role. Candidates can also be chosen with regards to their behavioural preferences to help to ensure a good cultural fit. Hiring a high-quality candidate on the first go greatly increases employee retention and has a direct impact on your organization’s bottom line.

3. Reduce and Eliminate Unconscious Bias

The diversity of your employee base is being recognized more and more every day as a critical characteristic of successful and rapid-growth organizations. Diversity improves morale and boosts your company’s reputation leading to greater profitability. Unbiased hiring decisions can now be made to ensure that the most qualified candidate is chosen independent of ethnicity, gender, age, education, etc. Hiring managers now have the ability to virtually eliminate unconscious bias by choosing which characteristics they wish to omit from the hiring process. Vieple is the first digital recruitment platform in Australia to offer ‘blind recruitment’ functionality to boost your company’s diversity.
