What is Video Interviewing?
Video interviewing is a modern way of recruiting. It’s done by either sending questions to your candidate that they can review and answer on their own time or live. Video interviewing software helps recruiters reduce hiring time, provide new insights about a potential candidate, and broaden their candidate base to include remote applicants. According to the latest survey, 47% of companies use these interviewing tools.
It allows recruiters and candidates to conduct and close a job interview faster than traditional methods. Finally, even candidates love video interviews since they can reduce travel costs and the time involved in in-person interviews.
Types of Video Interviewing
Pre-recorded Video interviewing
Pre-recorded interviews refer to one-way video interviews, asynchronous video interviews, or on-demand video interviews where recruiters set the questions in the pre-recorded video interviewing tool and ask candidates to answer and record some interview questions within an allotted time. Some tools also allow candidates to re-record their answers, giving them an additional chance to modify their answers before sending the final video. Then the recruiters analyze the video in detail and forward it to the concerned party. This process gives recruiters the time and convenience to review all videos and shortlist qualified candidates for further processing.
Setting Up Pre-Recorded Interviews:
Create Interview Questions: Develop a set of questions relevant to the role.
Invite Candidates: Send invitations to candidates to complete the pre-recorded interview.
Review Responses: Evaluate candidate responses at your convenience, using AI assessments for additional insights.
Live Video interviewing
A live video interview is a video conference that allows a candidate and interviewer to communicate virtually in real-time, or recruiters conduct one-on-one interviews with candidates. Some video interviewing software includes built-in video calling features, further smoothing the video interview process between candidates and recruiters.
Conducting live interviews:
Schedule Interviews: Use the platform’s scheduling tools to arrange live interviews.
Prepare for the Interview: Ensure you have a quiet, professional environment and a reliable internet connection.
Conduct the Interview: Engage with candidates in real time, asking follow-up questions as needed.
Collaborate and Evaluate: Share the interview recordings with team members for collaborative evaluation and decision-making.

Benefits of Video Interviewing Software
Cut Down Time on Telephone Interviews

Improve the Quality of Your Hire
The ultimate goal of the company’s recruitment team is to hire the best possible talent out of a vast pool of applicants. Candidates can present themselves to the hiring manager through Ducknowl.
Accelerate your hiring process

Eliminate stressors with in-person interviews
In-person interviews are stressful for candidates as there is no room for errors. Plus, sitting and answering in front of an interviewer for the first time often overwhelms a candidate. With video interviewing software, recruiters can take any number of chances to re-record an interview.
Easy to use
Online video interviewing platforms make it easier for both recruiters and candidates. Recruiters can easily assign questions to candidates and add a time limit for the candidates to respond.
