You need the best employees for your business. With a traditional first-stage interview, you might invite candidates who look good on paper but turn out to be completely unsuitable - with VideoRecruit, you can potentially select your shortlist in a morning from a range of candidates, and you'll know in seconds if they'll fit into your business. In a traditional interview, you'd be stuck for another 30 minutes or more before you could show them the door.
- Doesn't it lead to increased chance of discrimination?
- No. There is no way in which an employer could discriminate against a candidate based on their Video CV that wouldn't equally happen at interview, and an employer is obliged to show due diligence in their process of recruitment. Additionally, you can positively encourage a wider range of candidates through VideoRecruit - including candidates who wouldn't necessarily get the opportunity to stand out.
- I like the concept, can I access this information whilst I'm away from the office?
- Yes you can - anywhere you can connect to the internet. You will receive an email when your candidates are ready to view - simply follow the link, enter your login details and read at your leisure.
- There are five members on our interview panel, could we access this information individually?
- All authorised personnel can view this information at a time which suits their diary.
- We are a global company based in the UK. How would you capture candidates in other countries and time zones?
- We use state of the art recording technology to interview candidates wherever they are in the world.
- I'm looking for a job. What are the benefits?
- VideoRecruit gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your soft skills - ultimately, most employers want to take on a person to do a job, not a robot. This is your chance to get in front of the interview panel before they've even shortlisted.
- I don't like cameras - what if I don't feel confident about recording a Video CV?
- Lots of people are nervous the first time they're on camera, but with our professional help and support, most candidates leave telling us that they really enjoyed the experience.
- How does this benefit a recruitment agency?
- This gives a recruitment agency a USP, allowing you to share candidates with your clients, confident that the quality of your service stands out.
- Can I use the same video CV to place a candidate more than once?
- Once filmed, a video CV is yours to use as many times as you like.
- I wouldn't want to be filmed, how would I persuade my candidates?
- Most candidates applying for positions in sales, marketing, management or PR are confident enough to present themselves at interview - this is only a precursor to the intense process of going through interview to land the job.
- How are the CVs put on this system and who has access?
- There is a secure admin section where only authorised users can upload video profiles and CVs.
