Banty Shares Tips on How to Conduct Video Job Interviews

TORONTO, May 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Prior to COVID-19, many companies strictly relied on hosting in-person job interviews to identify new talent and fill vacant positions. Now, as these companies shift certain operations online, they are using easy and secure virtual meeting platforms like Banty.com to meet with new candidates.

According to a survey conducted by OfficeTeam, 63% of human resource managers use, or have used, video interview technology while hiring. What's more, 13% of hiring managers expect to use it more in the future.

If you are a hiring manager and want to make video job interviews part of your hiring process, here are some tips on how to conduct them most effectively:

• Know your video meeting platform: Regardless of the online interview service you use, learn every feature inside and out before beginning the hiring process. This will help meetings run smoothly
  
• Provide candidates with clear instructions: Ahead of the video interview, give candidates clear instructions on how they can join you for it. Keep in mind not everyone may be as used to virtual meetings as you are
  
• Schedule smartly: To account for meetings that run over time due to a lengthy Q&A session or a technical glitch, schedule all appointments at least 10-15 minutes apart. Even online, it is important to start all interviews on time
  
• Dress professionally: Although the meeting is being done online, dressing professionally gives the candidate an early look at the type of company they are interviewing at. First impressions are everything
  
• Have a great Internet connection: Before an interview begins, triple-check your Internet connection to see that it is strong and will not prematurely cut an interview short, or make it look choppy
  
• Find a bright, quiet place to meet from: Interviewing from an environment that's well-lit and distraction-free will make it easier for both you and the interviewee to communicate successfully throughout the video call
  
• Focus on your interviewee: Unless reading a resume or taking notes, maintain focus on the candidate. This indicates they're being heard and truly considered for the job. This lso allows you to ask better follow-up questions

In a post-COVID-19 world, video interviews will be more mainstream than ever before. Not only are they easier to organize, but they are also cost-effective and efficient.
