For many recruiters, around half of the recruiting process is simply… asking questions.Ask the wrong questions, then, and you risk making this process a lot longer than it needs to be. One way to massively reduce the time spent on the interview process is to use a one-way-interview solution like Willo, which helps companies save hundreds of hours on their interview process. In this guide, we'll unveil the top recruitment questions that will streamline your hiring journey, helping you identify the ideal fit quickly and avoid unnecessary setbacks.

Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) can be stressful. First, you have to wade through the options—onshore or outsourced being the big question to consider. Then you might need to assess multiple candidates before selecting someone. ‍And while the process is similar to hiring full-time employees, there are some unique elements to navigate.‍ This mini-guide explains those unique elements and how to manage the whole thing.

With high volume hiring or mass hiring, it’s a numbers game. However, you’re still dealing with real people who deserve respect regardless of the hiring decision. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to make a great candidate experience.

Recruiters are burning out at an increasing rate. It’s easy to blame the great resignation and the shift to remote work (then hybrid work) and call it a day. But that’s too easy. The real problem isn’t the challenges we face—those will always come—it’s the processes and systems we have to handle them. In short: we need to upgrade recruiting systems to match the reality we now live in. And an upgraded system includes video interviewing (powered by a purpose-built video interview tool) as part of your recruiting process.

The best business development reps (BDRs) and sales development reps (SDRs) are personable, tenacious, and hungry for success. Usually, the best way to hire them is to engage with them one-on-one to truly assess their capabilities. While this is still critical at later stages of the interview process, it’s too time consuming for high-volume hiring in the early stages. The process becomes a hassle between interview scheduling, test calls, and more. If you’re in growth mode, asynchronous interviews are a key tool in your recruiting box. Here’s how they work and how they empower high volume BDR hiring for all stages of companies.

As a founder, there are a few company milestones that bring incredible joy. Fundraising is often one of them (Willo raised a Seed round in 2021 that I’m proud of). Helping our customers streamline video interviewing is another (the average user saves 6+ hours per week of admin with Willo). But the real win for me is seeing candidates succeed. And it’s only just the beginning.

With over 40 video interview software platforms available, it can be difficult to choose the right one. If you’re considering video interviews and want a platform that helps manage the whole process (versus just having a video call on Zoom or Microsoft Teams), these questions will help you sort out precisely what you need so you can make a decision on software.

Video interviews help you get to know a candidate more personally than a phone screen without the time and costs of an in-person conversation.
