In modern hiring workflows, platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams are basically our conference rooms. So much so, that 90% of recruiters prefer online interviews.
If you’ve spent any time hiring lately, you know virtual interview platforms are everywhere.
Let’s look at the good, the bad and what’s next together.
What is Virtual Interview Software?
Virtual interview software allows organizations to assess candidates remotely through a few different methods. This can include live video calls (like Zoom), pre-recorded responses where candidates answer at their convenience (like HireVue), or AI interviews that adapt in real-time (Hello, HeyMilo).
Why Virtual Interviews Are Worth the Hype
Time is our most valuable resource. All the hours taken back just by cutting commutes, it’s enough to make us debate the need to go in person at all. Plus given it’s nature, you get access to skilled candidates in places that you aren’t. While those may be the biggest pros for many agency recruiters, it’s also a supporting character when screening candidates who aren’t qualified.
