Video interviews are getting more common, even for more traditional companies.
Filming in a familiar environment helps the interviewee feel more comfortable and confident. It also helps the interviewer save time and energy, and keep the recruitment cycle efficient. Online interview software helps out both parties since the interactions can be recorded and reviewed at any time, anywhere.
There are two ways of doing video interviews: live or pre-recorded. Both types have their pros and cons. Live interviews feel more natural and are easier to do through many video interview platforms. It also lets the candidate be more aware of what they’re saying and gauge the response of the interviewer.
Pre-recorded video interviews, on the other hand, can reduce time to hire, don’t require the interviewer to be physically present, and can help in avoiding biases and organizing schedules.
