Video Interview Cost Savings

Recorded video interviews save you money in obvious ways – the costs of airplane travel, hotel, taxi and meals, for example – but they save on important hidden costs as well. We all know that time is money, so consider how much time your organization can save with recorded interviews. No longer need you and your colleagues spend untold hours scheduling, emailing, meeting and weeding out applicants who are obviously not right for you. No longer need you waste time coordinating schedules with colleagues and candidates in preparing for the interview itself and for the follow-up assessment. Recorded video interviews let your colleagues (who may themselves be in different time zones) watch the videos and comment on them on their own time, thus freeing up productive work hours and allowing for the greatest and most thoughtful input possible. Since the reach of recorded interviews is almost unlimited (candidates can submit their videos from the Antarctic, as long as there’s an Internet connection), your organization is also afforded the greatest and most diverse number of applicants. This is crucial since one of the leading reasons for losing employees (an expensive proposition) is poor hiring in the first place. Recorded interviews lessen this risk by giving you a deeper pool from which to choose. Once you identify the right (or potentially right) person for the job, it might make sense to spend the money for a follow-up live meeting. Better to spend your money here rather than on the wasted costs and time associated with inviting the wrong person to an expensive on-site visit. Finally, you are more likely to attract the best and brightest if you make the point that you are willing to invest in the smartest hiring tools. In short, beyond direct costs and soft costs, recorded interviews can save you money – and can make you money – by attracting the most desirable and committed employees. And that’s a great deal! —- Ziggeo lets you quickly and easily pre-screen candidates by watching their videos. Candidates simply record short videos of themselves for your own private viewing.
