Video interviews are a very popular method of interviewing. And, it’s likely to be a rather popular style of interview over the next few weeks in our current climate. There are many benefits for the candidate and the business. For the candidate, there is no need to travel so you won’t get stuck in traffic or have to pay for parking. For the business, there’s no need to offer travel expenses or book rooms. It’s a method that can reduce the costs of the hiring process.
Given the current pandemic and health and economic crisis, we will see a lot more jobs going on hold or even disappearing. However, the economy will repair and rebuild and we need to hold on to some hope that life will return to some normality.
Skype or Live video: The candidate is often at home when they are interviewed on Skype, whereas a video conference tends to be in an office environment. Video conferences can have a different more formal feel. Recruiters interviewing across Europe or globally will offer this type of interview at the initial stages. This saves time and money for both the candidate and the business.
