Pre-Recorded Videos: the Ultimate Time-Saver for Interviewers

Time and time again we hear from employers that they've saved so much time using pre-recorded interviews.   By watching candidate's pre-recorded videos they can effectively eliminate the first round of interviews, That way, by moving directly to the second round of interviews, employers are able to focus their time on the most promising candidates.

How much time are interviewers saving? First, it's the time it takes to comb through the resumes and cover letters to try to figure out whom you’d like to speak with.  Next, it’s the time it takes to set up an interview with all the scheduling and back and forth.  Then it's the time in the meeting itself with candidates who clearly aren't the right fit.  That meeting could last 30 to 45 minutes even if the interviewer knows in the first 20 seconds the candidate isn't the right fit.  The interviewer simply doesn't want to appear rude which can be a poor reflection on both the interviewer and the company.   And perhaps a candidate is meeting with more than one interviewer. Candidates could easily be meeting with several individuals at a company whether they be in talent acquisition or those who are hiring managers.

With pre-recorded videos, hiring managers and those in talent acquisition can view pre-recorded videos of candidates without spending wasted hours in unnecessary interviews.  Now that's time well-spent.
