How Video Interview Software Supports a Candidate-Focused Approach
Efficient hiring processes involve candidate-focused interviews with fair questions and assessments that determine whether an individual is a good fit for the role and organization. Interviews are also opportunities for candidates to evaluate an employer and their priorities. At Pillar, we offer video software that creates more effective interviews for recruiters and applicants. Here are some ways video interview software supports a candidate-focused interview process:
Broad Candidate Pool
Using video interviews allows your team to meet with candidates from remote locations. This helps you find high-quality talent in regions you may not have had access to with traditional interviews. Video meetings also make interviews more accessible for candidates who have transportation or mobility limitations and other disabilities that would prevent them from traveling to your business for an interview. This creates a more diverse pool of applicants and shows that your company is willing to make an extra effort to find high-quality candidates.
Interview Preparation
Preparing for an interview with video software allows you to research each candidate and create a similar and positive experience for each individual. Pillar’s software generates thorough and relevant questions about the candidate’s experience, the open position, and desired employee qualities. Our system also produces an AI-generated interview guide that allows you to focus more on candidate answers than on which question you’ll ask next. Reviewing your questions and your goals for the interview helps you enter the meeting with a focus on high-quality interactions and assessments.
Structured Format
Video interview software provides your hiring team with a designated, professional platform that is easily accessible and gives structure to your interviews. The systems generate step-by-step plans for the interview to help you stay on task and move through the meeting without going over or under the allotted time. Our system provides a semi-structured list of questions that encourage candidates to explain more about themselves and their skills. Pillar’s software also includes skills assessments that allow candidates to demonstrate their value.
Real-Time Guidance
Interview software keeps interviewers on track during meetings to make sure all questions are addressed. It also confirms that questions are unbiased and candidate responses are relevant. This in-interview guidance informs you of when to let the candidate speak more, making the interview process consistent for each candidate and allowing hiring teams to make unbiased decisions. Our software gives interviewers a guide that paces the interview and offers candidates enough time to ask their own questions and learn more about the company. You can grade candidate’s behavior and responses with our quick-grading system. You can view your grading in the post-interview data to assess the candidate’s performance.
Post-Interview Review
Our software records each interview so you and your team can revisit candidate answers. This feature eliminates the need to rely on note-taking during the interview. It helps you remain more present and engaged during the meeting. You'll be able to review details you may have missed, reducing worry about remembering every moment of the meeting.
The system provides feedback on candidate answers and interviewer questions to help you assess applicants. This also helps you understand how to make future interviews more successful. Post-interview feedback includes a summary of how much time the interviewer spent talking versus the candidate. This information shows whether the interview was focused on the candidate’s responses. If our system identifies issues with the interview, it creates a teachable moment notification with a suggestion for interviewer improvement.
