• “Higher levels of unemployment... imply decreasing efficiency in the labor market.”

3. Review Recorded Interviews at Your Leisure

Recording Your Questions

• Record Your Own

• Choose from a List of Pre-Recorded Questions

Post an Interview Link

• Send Out Your Interview Link to Their Applicant Pool or

• Host Your Link on a Job Board or Social Media Site

Review At Your Leisure

“Can you see how much easier it will be to find the right person for the job?”

Streamlined Process

• Once You’ve Found the Right Candidate for the Right Position...

• Invite Them in for Live Interview

Can You Do This On Your Own?

Of Course You Can!

BUT...

and

• You’ll Still Have to Coordinate Schedules

• Eliminates Reviewing at Your Leisure

• Hope that Technology Works Properly

• Can’t Be Recorded or Shared

But There’s Still One Problem…

Live Video Interviews Are Nothing More Than an Untested Resume

• You Can Review at Your Leisure

• BUT Their Interview Is Also Scripted

• You Only See What They Want You to See “Take 57”

What This Hides...• All the Non-Verbal

Communication They Don’t Want You to See

• 93% of All Communication is Non-Verbal

• 55% is Physiological

• 38% is Tonal

• Only 7% Are the Words UsedSource:"Mehrabian, Albert (2009). ""Silent Messages" – A Wealth of Information About Nonverbal Communication (Body Language)".

A Tale of Two Hiring Managers

A Day in the Life of...

Traditional Tom Savvy Shaye

Hiring Decisions...

Traditional Tom Tries to Find His New Hire on His Own

Shaye Uses a Recruiter who Uses Virtual Interviews to Help Her Find Her New Hire

Weeding Out Process...

• Both Tom and Shaye’s Recruiter Receive Résumés from 200 “Qualified” Candidates

• 150 of the Applicants Don’t Meet Their Needs

Finding the Best...

• 50 Candidates is Still Too Many

• Both Parties Narrow it Down to the Exact Same 20 Applicants

No Substitutes...

• Tom Interviews Who He FeelsAre the Top 6 Candidates

• Missed the Real Winner

• Screening Will NEVER Replace a Live Interview

Tom’s Interviews...• After 6 Hours of Interviews

Tom is Ready to Call it Quits

• On Paper Each Applicant Looked Like They Were the “One”

• Not Only is Tom Tired BUT He’s Now Behind on His Normal Work Load

• Late Night for Tom

• Does Tom Settle?

The Virtual Interview Difference

• Shaye’s Recruiter Sends Over 20 Résumés Accompanied with 20 Virtual Interviews

• More Choices at Your Disposal

• More Really is Better

Shaye’s Interviews...

• In the Time it Took Tom to Perform 2 Live Interviews, Shaye Reviewed All 20 Virtual Interviews

• Shaye Spots 2 that Tom Missed

• She Interviews Them and Hires the Better of the Two

• She’s the Office Hero!

• Now That’s Working Smarter
