Following the integration of video interviewing into the
Vacancy Filler Recruitment Software Platform, I have taken a keen interest into
the benefits and opinions of Video use during the interview process.
Initially I was looking at Video Interviewing from the angle
of ‘saving time’ and ‘saving money’, to which it definitely is supported to do
so; however, I came across an article on the Grapevine Website that questioned
if “Businesses [were] wasting time and money on face-to-face interviews”.
Now this is an angle I hadn’t considered looking at; is your
business actually “wasting” money by not utilising this technology?
The article suggests that “55% of businesses have never used
video interviewing Technology despite a third of them describing themselves as
tech savvy, and 30% using similar technology such as FaceTime and Video
Conferencing”.
Research by Foosle showed that 45% of companies asked don’t
use Video Interviewing Technology simply because they haven’t really thought
about it before, and 8% felt that the technology was either too expensive or
too difficult to use. To overcome these issues, Vacancy Filler have integrated
the Video Interviewing technology into their core product that, for a small
fee, can be activated should a customer need it.
After 1st interview stage, businesses will often
reject between 50-75% of applicants, which amounts to a large amount of wasted
time (considering most interviews are 45 minutes or more) and really does add
to the financial cost of the recruitment process.
Using Video Interviewing Technology saves significant time
for both the hiring manager and the candidate. It not only helps you to widen
the number of potential candidates you wish to review, but provides a realistic
alternative to travelling, particularly where long distances are involved. It
removes the restrictions of time and location, provides a platform for
consistent comparison, allows you to process more candidates and delivers best
use of resources and time.
