The Power of Asynchronous Video Interviews in Talent Acquisition

Arranging different parties for interviewing, which include candidates, the hiring managers, and the interviewers can be a tedious process. Schedule conflicts, time zone differences, and logistic issues can translate into a long timeline in finding the right candidates to hire. Besides, more day-to-day communication is needed for the acquiring of interview dates making the whole process very long and time-consuming.

The engagement of human interviewers increases the resource imbalance affecting the recruitment process. It is quite demanding to recruit and train interviewers, to coordinate their schedules, and to take care of their availability which require lots of time and effort. Another factor is material use for the purposes of conducting interviews, such as meeting rooms or video conferencing facilities. These limited resources pose a constraint to scale thus presenting a challenge that may affect the organization’s process of conducting addresses and efficiently performing interviews, especially during increased hiring periods.

The fact that the subjectivity of the interviewer’s bias and evaluation criteria may cause inconsistencies and unfairness is the real problem of the performance evaluation process. Every assessor may have their own biases, likes, dislikes, and understandings of candidate replies that are likely to result in a variation in assessment results. In addition to this, a lack of standardized assessment criteria will create unfair treatment of candidates and damage the credibility of the selection process. With no consideration of objective criteria for candidate assessment, hiring decisions can be subject to perception toward candidates rather than the merit-based criterion.

In order to deal with the stated challenges, we need a revolutionary change in the interview process. Through technology and automation, companies can bypass these hurdles and eliminate human bias, thus creating a more efficient, objective, and scalable quality assurance process. The Asynchronous Video Interview platform solves these challenges in this way: it makes the process of the interview more effective, cuts down on the reliance on human involvement, and gives it objective evaluation criteria. With innovation and technology, we intend to turn the recruitment business into an art as it were, enabling businesses to hire the best while staying ahead in the competitive recruitment environment.
