Video Interviewing in progress

What is video interviewing?

Video interviews are a modern and efficient way of conducting interviews as part of the recruitment process. Instead of meeting face-to-face, candidates are asked to complete automated or live online interviews. These interviews can be used in place of or in addition to traditional in-person interviews, allowing recruiters and hiring managers to screen and evaluate candidates quickly and effectively.

In an automated video interview, candidates are asked the same series of standardised questions to answer on video. The interviewer can then review the videos at their convenience and assess the candidate's responses, communication skills, and overall suitability for the role.

Tazio was one of the first to offer automated video interviewing software. Our platform has come a long way in recent years and is now widely used by enterprise customers worldwide. It provides a broad range of benefits, including increased efficiency, improved candidate experience, and greater consistency in the interview process. Whether you're seeking entry-level or senior positions, online interviewing can help streamline your recruitment process and find the most suitable candidates faster. 


The benefits of using video interviews

Video interviewing has transformed how recruiters and hiring managers assess high volumes of candidates, replacing telephone screening and first-stage interviews. By using virtual interviews, you will benefit from the following:

Time Savings: You save time by reducing the need to schedule telephone or in-person interviews and allowing recruiters to review candidate responses at their convenience. This flexible approach to the interview process means your recruiters and hiring managers can spend more time focusing on other important tasks, such as sourcing and attracting candidates, while still being able to evaluate potential hires effectively.

Improved Candidate Experience: Online video interviews reduce stress and increase accessibility for candidates, allowing them to complete the interview from the comfort of their homes. This stress reduction can lead to a more relaxed and confident candidate, allowing your talent acquisition team to better understand their skills and abilities. In addition, video interviewing can help reduce barriers to entry for candidates, such as those with disabilities or who live in remote locations, making the recruitment process more accessible for everyone.

Increased Consistency: Automated interviews standardise the interview process by ensuring all candidates are asked the same questions and evaluated using the same criteria. Furthermore, they enable recruiters and hiring managers to easily compare candidate responses, making it easier to identify the best candidates for the role. This reduces the risk of subjectivity and bias in the recruitment process and ensures that the best candidates are chosen on merit.

Standardised questions and evaluation criteria are a significant advantage because they help to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fairly and consistently, improving the overall objectivity and effectiveness of the recruitment process.

Enhanced Talent Insights: Virtual interviews provide employers with improved candidate data and insights, which are used to better inform recruitment decisions. Our platform includes advanced data analytics and reporting, allowing recruiters to quickly and easily analyse candidate data and identify trends and patterns. This helps you make more objective decisions about which candidates are best for each role and your organisation.

Cost-Effective: Automated interviews eliminate travel and associated expenses, making your recruitment process more cost-effective for you and your candidates. Also, recruiters can efficiently interview candidates from remote locations or other countries, eliminating the need for international travel. This makes it easier to recruit the best talent from anywhere in the world and create a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

By leveraging the power of online interviewing software, recruitment and TA professionals save time, improve candidate experience, and streamline the recruitment process. Whether you're looking to fill graduate or senior positions, we can help you find suitable candidates for your organisation.
