The Best Video Platforms to Conduct Virtual Interviews
The coronavirus outbreak has forced many companies to adopt remote systems for their operational and recruitment needs. As a result, finding the right virtual interview platform has become a sudden priority at many organizations.
Choosing the right software is critical for keeping your hiring process on track during the COVID-19 emergency. However, the impact of the decision won’t end there. Remote hiring is a growing trend generally, and the coronavirus crisis will likely provide the impetus for another wave of adoption.
There is plenty of evidence that video interviewing provides significant benefits compared to in-person varieties. Hiring managers look for the products to lower costs and reduce the time needed to fill positions. Some studies even suggest that majority of candidates prefer video interviews.
Taking advantage of this trend involves having the right platform. The decision is complicated by the sheer volume of competitors in the video interview space. Dozens of companies vie for customers in the industry. It can lead to a protracted and confusing process.
