Video screening, the process of posing questions to job candidates live over the internet, or having them record their answers to questions themselves using their webcam, is a solution gaining in popularity.

Why implement Interview4?

For those of you who have yet to adopt this effective, time-saving hiring tool, here are ten reasons why you should embrace video screening in the New Year.

1. Save money - Video screening reduces travel costs associated with bringing candidates in for face-to-face interviews and saves valuable human resources spent scheduling and conducting phone screening interviews.

2. Save time - Are your hiring managers wasting valuable time interviewing bad candidates?  While video screening is not meant to REPLACE the interview, it allows your hiring managers to more effectively select the best candidates to bring in for face-to-face interviews.

3. Eliminate scheduling hassles - The demands of scheduling interview times between busy hiring managers and job candidates impedes your time to hire. Allowing candidates to use this screening tool at times convenient to them boosts the speed of your hiring process.

4. Discover and attract top talent - Video screening allows you to affordably check out more top candidates outside of your immediate geography, while the technology demonstrates to them that your organization is on the cutting edge.

5. Hire more effectively - A video screening solution that allows you to record the candidate responses (one-way and two-way, something Skype doesn't offer) enables you and your team to compare candidates and review responses as many times as you like, thus allowing you to hire more effectively.

6. Go Green - What better way to promote the environment's health than by reducing the carbon emissions associated with flying in candidates for interviews?

7. Reduce discrimination - Administering an automated screening process provides a structured setting where each candidate answers the same questions, thereby reducing the possibility of discrimination. Seeing and hearing the candidate reduces biases formed from resume viewing only. Recorded sessions provide evidence of your non-discriminatory practices. (And video screening is acceptable to the EEOC.)

8. Increase collaboration - Recorded video screenings allow you to share your candidate's responses with colleagues and members of the hiring team so a more informed decision can be made.

9. More revealing than a phone screen - A large proportion of communication is visual. Using video, you can better gauge a candidate's enthusiasm for the job by seeing as well as hearing them.

10. Get an edge over your competitors - In the war for attracting top talent, video screening will allow you to see more candidates and move top candidates more quickly through the hiring process than can your competitors, ensuring you a better shot at landing them as employees.
