How does video interviewing help small business?
Firstly you have to consider costs most large Enterprise software encompasses – monthly payments on a contractual term. With FaceCruit video interviewing cloud based software platform they have designed a cost model which will help small business rather than being contracted. FaceCruit have set up an easy pay as you go system. It is a similar concept like a mobile phone where you pre-pay for minutes and those minutes are deducted by the allocated time you give candidates to answer their questions.
How do the credits/minutes get deducted?
For example, if you purchased 100 minutes you invited 5 candidates and each interview went for 5 minutes you would deduct 25 minutes from 100 minutes and your remaining balance would be 75 minutes. These 75 minutes can be used at any time in the future.
Using this system will also reduce the following hidden and actual costs and increase productivity.
Key advantages of video interviews for recruiters
The advantages of using video software to interview job candidates can be classified into recruiter benefits and candidate benefits. Among recruiter benefits, the following can be highlighted:
- Video interviews allow for greater consistency. By using a pre-determined script and format, all candidates are asked the same set of questions
- Video interviewing captures the moment, and it does so permanently. Therefore, recruiters have the opportunity to replay, review, and rate the interviews online. Interviewers can also make use of video recorded material to compare candidates’ answers and performance during the interview.
- Recruiters can share the candidates with their client or colleagues with any accompanying documentation such a resume summary. In turn the client can rate and comment on the candidate.
- Having visual material associated to the interview can help recruiters better remember outstanding candidates. This is especially true when video interviews are compared to audio interviews (for example, Skype-based interviews). By using video, recruiters can associate a candidate’s name to a face; so in fact, video interviews can help provide a more personal touch.
- Time is at a premium for most recruiters. Video interviewing allows recruiters to carry out a large number of interviews in a short space of time. This interview format is particularly useful when it comes to interviewing candidates who live in a different city or country. Video interviewing can cut recruitment costs by 80%.
- Up to 8 video can be reviewed the time it takes to do one phone interview.
