If the pandemic has taught us anything, it\u2019s\u00a0that businesses have faced more challenges than they first thought. Having to adapt their working environments has meant setting up people to work from home, provide additional equipment and even hire people via video interview.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Previously, face to face interviews were the perfect way to get to know the person you were interviewing, finding out more about their experience and seeing if they were a good fit for your team.\u00a0Nowadays, employers and\u00a0interim recruiters are having to use new means to find employees<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for their businesses.<\/p>\n Many have found that video interviews have improved their overall recruiting efficiency, enabling them to conduct meetings faster and in a more streamlined manor.\u00a0But\u00a0how can you ensure you\u2019re conducting a seamless video interview time and time again?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s not going to be perfect straight away and that\u2019s OK.\u00a0First things first, you\u2019ll need to decide which video conferencing tool you\u2019re going to use. Will you choose\u00a0<\/span>Teams<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Zoom<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or another platform?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve made your decision, run a few tests with existing employees. This may involve them logging on from their personal emails to make sure everything it set up correctly and that everything works. Check whether voices can be heard clearly and how much time you have before your session ends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019ll want to send your candidate instructions\u00a0with enough time before their interview. This will help them to prepare and ensure they have everything they need. They may need a password or direct link to the meeting as well as the time, date and a phone number in case they have difficulty accessing your virtual meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sending this to them with plenty of time before their interview will ensure they feel as comfortable, confident, and prepared as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Because you\u2019re unable to meet them face to face to get an idea of their personality, make sure you have all the right questions prepared and ready to go.\u00a0Ask questions that matter to both you and the brand (within reason of course).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You may want to base your questions on\u00a0the competencies you want your employees to have. These could be things such as honesty at work\u00a0or working in a team environment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As you would do\u00a0if you were in the office, dress appropriately, be warm and welcoming and don\u2019t forget to smile!\u00a0Because you\u2019re on video, you\u2019ll also want to make sure\u00a0that you\u2019re nodding throughout or acknowledging answers the candidate is giving so they know you\u2019re listening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty to think about when it comes to interviews, especially video ones. But by getting all of these points right, you\u2019ll be employing successful candidates in no time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If the pandemic has taught us anything, it\u2019s\u00a0that businesses have faced more challenges than they first thought.
