How ducknowl's one-way video interview software benefits you

hire people, not resumes

A resume can tell you about a candidate’s experience and qualifications, but it doesn’t reveal their soft skills, interest in the job, or how they might fit into your company’s culture. Thus, our one-way video interview software allows recruiters to see the candidate behind the resume and evaluate candidate’s verbal, non-verbal, and written communication skills, including clarity, articulation, and grammar.

increase your recruiters' productivity by up to 85%.

By using pre-recorded video interview software as an initial screening tool, recruiters can assess more candidates in less time. Recruiters can review both pre-recorded interview answers as well as written essay answers, skipping key parts and speeding up the decision-making process. This is much more efficient than calling each candidate and screening them for the next stage of the hiring process. This helps streamline the screening process and enables recruiters to focus on the most qualified individuals.

eliminate unconscious bias

Unconscious bias can influence hiring decisions, impacting diversity and fairness in the recruitment process. With a one-way video interview software, all candidates respond to the same set of video, audio, and essay questions. This ensures consistency throughout the evaluation process and allows for impartial candidate comparisons. Recruiters can review candidates based on standardized criteria, reducing bias and promoting a more objective evaluation.

saves hiring managers’ time by up to 50%

By leveraging one-way video interview software, hiring managers can quickly identify the most promising candidates, enable parallel collaboration with other functional managers, and focus on qualified candidates with marked efficiency. Recruiters can easily share and review candidate profiles; no note-taking is required. Everyone sees the same summary, keeping ratings fair. This digitizes the hiring process and allows for faster evaluations, freeing up valuable time for hiring managers to focus on strategic decision-making.

cut costs, not quality

Ducknowl revolutionizes the recruitment process by offering an all-in-one interview platform that equips recruiters with powerful tools to evaluate, rate, and showcase top talent to hiring managers and clients. Recruiters can test candidates for their hard or soft skills as well as psychometric tests, all proctored by ethical AI. This efficient approach allows you to avoid buying multiple software for different types of assessments. Reduce costs, enhance your recruitment process, and ensure you’re selecting top talent for your team—because cost savings shouldn’t mean cutting corners on quality.

be the talk of the job boards

Transform job descriptions with customizable videos, stand out on job boards, and showcase your company’s unique culture from the start. Seamlessly integrate with major job platforms for effortless talent sourcing.
