You were so excited to run a remote hiring process. ‍ Then you realized your day would be the same, just on Zoom instead of on the phone. ‍ Suddenly, remote video interviewing felt more constricting than a phone call from an office because you had to stare at a screen all day. And it’s started to burn you out, which makes sense when you google around—SHRM reported that recruiters are burning out at a fast pace, often due to the pressures of doing more with technology.‍ When live video interviews just aren’t working for your company anymore, whether due to admin burnout or simply managing too much volume, you need to keep the machine going in a different way. ‍ Here’s what causes live interviews to stop providing value—and what to do about it.

With video interviews, candidates could be recording their responses while you’re asleep. This has great benefits in terms of time savings and efficiency for high-volume hiring, but it also means you need to prepare differently for the process from start to finish. We know this pain all too well at Willo, so we put together a checklist you can use to make sure you’re ready for anything that comes along.

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.
