4 Features Included in Video Interview Software
The interview process answers a key question for the hiring team: Is this candidate right for the job? When developing an interview process, hiring teams that focus on preparation, research, and objective skills assessments reduce the possibility of a mis-hire. Pillar's video interview software and AI assistance can help recruiters streamline interviews. This helps them better find talent for their company. Here are four features included in video interview software:
Standardized Interviews
Our video interview software can help teams develop consistent interview practices. It also allows interviewers to connect with applicants to identify strong candidates. By analyzing recorded video interviews, Pillar increases interviewing coaching by:
- Delivering automated training resources for interviewers
- Identifying coachable moments after interviews
- Assessing candidates' feelings and reactions to interviewing styles
- Recommending changes that improve candidates' interview experience
Resources for coaching create uniformity between lead interviewers at all stages of the hiring process. Consistent questions, techniques, and styles provide a foundation for more equitable applicant comparison and help improve the interview experience. When applicants have a good experience, it could create a positive perception of a company and help attract top talent.
Automated Processes
A typical hiring process involves several steps, including initial screening, first interview, task assessment, and reference checks, with potentially more interviews. Pillar can be integrated with applicant tracking software(ATS), video conferencing, and scheduling software to streamline and automate many of these steps.
Scheduling requests, assessment questionnaires, and reminder or follow-up emails can all be sent automatically with AI assistance. AI can also sort and filter hundreds of resumes to narrow the candidate pool to those with the strongest qualifications. Reducing repetitive tasks during the interview process allows interviewers to devote more time to preparation and live video interviews.
Interview Transcriptions
AI systems transcribe video interviews, making them easily stored and searchable for later review by hiring teams. Teams can search keywords or concepts within a single candidate's responses or among multiple candidates to analyze statements and compare applicants. AI also reviews transcriptions, condensing long-form interviews into summary statements that highlight an applicant's key statements. These functionalities allow interviewers to focus on the candidate and avoid asking repetitive questions, enhancing the interview process.
Candidate Assessments
During recruitment, hiring teams often demonstrate unconscious bias, preferring candidates who are more like themselves than those who are most qualified. AI-integrated video interview software relies on semi-structured interview questions to add consistency and help eliminate bias from the process. This improves the likelihood of hiring candidates most suited for the job.
Pillar offers side-by-side applicant comparisons to help interviewers assess candidates' qualifications objectively rather than based on what is seen or heard in the video interview. AI-guided assessments also help interview teams rate candidates based on their responses to technical skills, behavioral assessments, and work sample tests. During an interview, Pillar's software can provide real-time metrics on each applicant and suggest follow-up questions for a more comprehensive view of their qualifications.
