The Benefits of Using Video Interviews for Recruitment

The Benefits of Using Video Interviews for Recruitment One of the most modern elements of the hiring and recruitment process is video interviewing. It is easier to organise, cuts costs and allows for re-evaluation later on. This infographic from Spark Hire  shows some of the benefits of video interviewing and its recent rise. Takeaways: Traditional hiring methods take 45 days on average to hire a new position and cost $1,500 $5,000 per hire on average. The cost to replace employees can be up to 4 times their annual salary, with bad recruiting costing companies over $50,000 on average. 80% of employee turnover can be linked to faults in the hiring process, according to a Harvard study. There are two types of video interviews one-way and two-way interviews One-way video interviews are productive (more interview screens can be done), convenient (answers can be recorded and reviewed at anytime) and economical. Two-way video interviews are convenient (no need for scheduling or travel), revealing (employers can see non-verbal cues from candidates), recordable and shareable. Two-way video interviews can save as much as 67% on necessary travel costs compared to more conventional recruitment techniques.
