Virtual recruiting is a great way to screen more candidates in a shorter amount of time, but it does come with its challenges. Let's explore the benefits and challenges of using virtual interviews in your recruiting process. Creating a variety of ways for job seekers to connect with your company will increase candidate flow and give you more opportunities to select a strong hire with all the knowledge, skills, and abilities that you're looking for. Virtual interviewing is an effective way to connect and it has many benefits, whether your company is large or small. The most impactful advantage is time savings. Video interviews expand the timeframe that you can use to conduct interviews. They can be done on the road during a business trip, from home, across different time zones, or at the work site. You can easily schedule interviews with candidates and they don't need to be in the same physical location. If your company has an off-site Human Resources Department, you can schedule multiple virtual interviews in a short amount of time without needing to travel between offices. In general, being able to review talent efficiently can also lead to a faster job offer and shorten your time spent trying to fill the open positions. Another benefit is financial savings, for both the job seeker and the company. The job seeker can save on travel costs, gas, and commute time. The company can save money on bringing in applicants from out of the immediate geographic area as well as on any travel and housing expenses associated with out of market interviews. The final advantage we'll discuss is the human connection. Phone interviews and screenings are still a valuable part of your talent acquisition process. The virtual interview, however, allows for the interviewer and the candidate to see each other's expressions and body language, leading to a more natural interaction and dialogue. This combines the benefits of both phone and in-person interviews. These are not the only positive aspects to virtual interviewing, but these three have the greatest impact on your process.
