Benefits of Online Video Interview Software

Hiring the right person at the right time at the right place is a very challenging work for the HR managers. As we all know that human resources are the most vital resources of the organization that can lead the organization towards success. So hiring the employees in the company is a very difficult task as it can affect the organization positively or negatively. The hiring process in the organization is called recruitment. This process starts by inviting the applicants for the vacancy to shortlisting them, according to the preliminary test, and after that, taking the interview. Interviewing a person is a very important step as it is one to one talk between the candidate and employer. Here both of them can know more about each other. The decision made here should be done correctly. Even the advancement of technology has led to the development of the software that helps in taking online interviews. This online video interview software is highly used in the organization and has changed the scenarios of taking the interview system.

Earlier the interviews were being conducted for the shortlisted candidates. The candidates used to come to the office, and they used to appear for the interview there. The candidates need to wait for a long time for their turn for the interview. It was a very time consuming and costly process on behalf of both the organization and the candidate. The candidates from the far places need to travel for just giving an interview. Even there was no guarantee that he might be selected for the job or not. The candidates need to come one day before the interview and need to take accommodation. So, all this process for a candidate becomes very costly.

On the other hand, the organization has to set the infrastructure where they can conduct the interviews. Other things like sitting arrangements, refreshments for the proctors, and candidates are to be made. They have to decide one day according to the availability of all the managers of the organization that have to be the art of the panel who is going to take the information. Even rating a lot of candidates back to back in a day can lead to the inconsistency in the work of the panel. So, there was a requirement of the system that can solve all the issues that organizations and candidates come across to.

The online video interview software is the platform that helps the organization to take the interview of any candidate from any place that can be across the globe. Both the candidate and interviewer panel is sitting in front of each other virtually. This is the video conferencing with the candidate who has been shortlisted by the company and one to one interview is conducted. If the candidate is selected for the vacancy, he is sent the offer letter on his mail id.

So, it is seen that this software is very helpful in many ways. Let’s discuss the benefits of this process:

• Speed up the recruitment process: This is one of the points because of which it is becoming very successful in every organization. The process of recruitment is very long when it comes to calling the candidates to the office, the organization has to decide a day on which all the arrangements are to make. But using this software as soon as the candidate is shortlisted for the vacancy, he can be called for online video conferencing where one to one interview can be taken. This way it saves the time of both candidates and the organization.

• Improves the quality of hiring: sometimes there are chances that some candidates make an attractive resume but actually, they don’t have the qualities that they have written in it. So this software helps you to understand the candidate from the starting of the recruitment process. When the panel can see and hear the candidates from the starting. This helps in recruiting the best out of the lot.

• Improves candidate engagement with the brand: it is for sure that candidates are selective about their place of work. By using such advanced software in the organization will put more light on the working of the organization. This way more candidates will get attracted to the organization. This software includes these things before starting the online interview video instruction, recorded questions, and videos by the existing employees sharing their experiences. This way the candidates will get motivated and will feel strong gut for working in such a workplace.

• Reducing the number of candidate’s no-shows: inviting candidates for interviews is a long and time-consuming process. But by using the online interview software the candidates can give an interview according to the best suited time to them. this way they can also perform well and also the judgment becomes easier. By looking at it how many candidates are interested in giving the interview.

• No wastage of time by interviewing the unsuitable candidates: the experts can evaluate the candidate in the first 30 seconds as he walks in the interview. Though they come to know that the candidate is not capable they still have to take their interview, this wastes a lot of time. So by using this software, the experts can watch the candidate for 30 seconds if they don’t like that they can switch on to the next candidate.

• No more scheduling headaches: this is one of the manor advantages of using this software. For conducting interviews earlier, the dates were being fixed according to the panel experts and the date was given to the candidates. But no more scheduling headache as the interview can be given by the candidate at the best suited time.

So, this software not only helps in online interviews but also gives an advantage in proctoring services as well. With the help of this technology, the work of experts has become more easy, quick, and efficient. They can make the right decisions in finding the right person for the job in less time.
