Learning Objectives
The traditional hiring process is full of headaches from:
Time Wasted
Money Spent
Scheduling Arrangements
Introduction
Let’s Start With The Problem
On average:
Recruiters spend about 15 hours per week sourcing for candidates
Phone and first round interviews last 30 minutes
It takes 45 days to fill a position
The Traditional Hiring Process
It takes too long.
Expensive job posts, advertising, and database searches
Estimate loss of time, wages, and productivity by employees conducting interviews
Factor in travel and accommodation expenses
The Traditional Hiring Process
It costs a lot of money.
You have to coordinate multiple schedules: yours, your staff’s and the candidate’s
Passive candidates may be more difficult to coordinate with
You have to deal with cancellations, late and early arrivals, and no-shows
Cramming multiple interviews into one day can be counterproductive
The Traditional Hiring Process
Scheduling is a pain.
Most employers cite communication skills as the most important skill for a candidate to possess
Studies have shown that people form first impressions based 55% on body language
With video, you can immediately identify candidates that possess the communication skills, professionalism and candor needed for your open position
Why Video?
Video Enhances Paper
Interviewing online reduces 67% of travel costs associated with hiring
Interview 10 candidates via video interviewing in the time it takes to interview 1 candidate via phone

Recap
Let’s Review
Let’s Answer Some Questions.
Questions?
Questions?
Q: How is a profile video better than a traditional resume?
- Sarah
• Video is not better than a paper resume alone - it’s not
meant to replace the traditional resume.
• It is a way for candidates to enhance the paper resume and
for employers to see skills not shown on a paper resume like
communication skills.
• Considering how highly important communication skills are in
the workplace, video profiles give a better idea of how
candidates communicate earlier in the hiring process.
Questions?
Q: For what type of position is video interviewing best
suited for? - Jason
• From what I’ve seen employers are using video interviewing
for all types of positions.
• Some companies are using it to interview entry-level
candidates just coming out of college who might be out of the
area or even studying overseas.
• Students studying abroad have interviewed for internships
while still out of the country.
• Companies also using it for executive level positions to cut
down on the cost of travel.
• With no money spent on flying someone in, they can cut
down or completely eliminate the cost of travel.
Questions?
Q: What advice do you have for employers who worry
about video as a way to discriminate against candidates?
– Michael
• Discrimination is always an issue but the truth is that video is
completely compliant.
• If you abide by the company’s current policy and act as if the
video screen is an in-person screen.
• Video is simply a tool and it’s a tool used to improve hiring
efficiency. How companies use that tool is strictly up to them.
If there’s a problem it lies within the staff, not video itself.
• So if your staff is going to discriminate while using video
there’s nothing to stop them from discriminating in person.
Questions?
Q: How do candidates feel about participating in video
interviews? - Rachel
• Typically they feel great. The feedback from candidates has
been very positive. They love being able to interview from
home.
• Feedback is especially strong from passive candidates who
already have jobs and might not be able to do an interview in
the middle of the day with employers.
• Video allows candidates to schedule the interview around
their lives.
• Candidates also have costs related to interviewing which are
cut when using video.
