Is Video Interviewing for You?

What led us to switch to Video Interviews? -  6 people recruit the entire country -  Multiple cities/jobs at one time -  Needed a way to keep qualified candidates

moving through the process while keeping them engaged with us

-  Give our decision makers as much information as possible to make sure they were a good fit for our family.

How is Video Interviewing on Jobvite Different -  Recorded vs live -  Get the same feel as a face to face interview because you

can see them -­‐  Video Interviews are a part of the workflow -  Interview attaches to the file and moves through the process -­‐  Can be a collaborative effort between reviewers for different

perspectives/evaluations and it all stays in one place! -  Watch them on your time schedule

What is really the benefit to doing Video Interviews?                                                                                            

How to get the most out of your video interviews -­‐  Keep it simple (5-7 questions) -­‐  Treat it like a phone interview in your process -­‐  Don’t call it an interview - be creative -­‐  Give them a timeframe to create urgency and give them less

opportunity to forget -­‐  Give your landing page a personal touch/showcase your culture -­‐  Reminders that are fun but are not “pushy” -­‐  Do reviews of your questions to make sure the timing for each

answer is adequate for what you need.

So what were our results? -­‐  We began using video in July of 2014 -­‐  Reduced our time to hire by an average of 7 days -­‐  80% of interviews sent out were able to be

completed (everyone has a webcam these days) -­‐  Only 2% of those that didn’t complete them were

because they didn’t have a webcam
