Video recruitment

Meet the right candidates earlier in the process

Getting started

The video module offers a different and more modern screening process, as it provides you with a visual presentation of the candidate. This allows you to avoid unnecessary interviews with candidates who aren’t the right fit for the position you’re trying to fill.

Spend time with the right candidates

A video application gives you much greater confidence that you’re inviting the right candidate to an interview. With video recruitment, you increase your chances of finding the right candidate for the job—and you save time on screening while increasing the likelihood of bringing the right people in for interviews.

The average time it takes to screen a candidate who has applied through video recruitment is only about 2.5 minutes.

Meet candidates earlier in the process

Video recruitment is particularly beneficial for positions involving direct customer contact, as it allows you to meet the candidate early on in the recruitment process. This gives you the opportunity to get a better impression of many more candidates in a shorter amount of time.

With video recruitment, you’ll achieve:

Faster and more efficient recruitment — You'll save time on screening.

Better communication when you schedule an interview. You'll be off to a good start when you speak with the candidate.

A glimpse of the candidate at their best, since they often record the video in a comfortable setting.

Spot talent where personality matters most

We’re seeing a lot of interest in video recruitment for positions where candidates don’t necessarily have the most extensive resume or educational background, but where personality and presentation are the most important factors. It also gives candidates a better opportunity to make a good impression before the actual screening process begins.
