Measuring the Potential of Video Interviews for Your Business

At My Interview we foresee video interviewing as a future business necessity, particularly for MENA based businesses, due to potential gains that it has to offer. The use of video interviewing has grown by 49% over the last two years and its penetration in the global business sector is inevitable. However, it seems that many businesses in the MENA region are still not convinced of its advantages to streamline their operations, especially those concerning communication and recruitment.

So far, what we have come to understand is that the reluctance of businesses to adapt to video interviewing is due to them not being presented with potential gains objectively. Numerous HR practitioners approach us at My Interview, requiring us to elaborate on the gains that they are to get out of our video interviewing services. What they actually want to see are definitive figures and not wordy explanations. So, let’s talk about numbers.

However, before we set about to elaborate on the actual figures it is important that we give you a brief description of steps involved in video interviewing.

How Do We Carry Out Video Interviews?

At My Interview, steps involving a video interview are quite simple and direct. We begin with defining your requirements for the new vacancy. This helps us create an accurate job description which we tally with the credentials of a long list of candidates who apply for the job under consideration. We then organize the initial interview after coordinating with the selected candidates and your team. Our team offers all the assistance that you may need to conduct the video interview and later short-list the candidates for the final interview. Lastly, we analyze the results to help you with decision making.

That is how we can help you with recruitment through video interviewing. Now let’s move on to defining the cost of the entire procedure.

What is the Cost of Video Interviewing?

Let’s define the cost of video interviewing in terms of money spent, allocated time and the effort that is required, for your better understanding. All in all, the ultimate cost of video interviewing as compared to traditional methods of recruitment is considerably lower. It is suggested that if you opt for traditional methods of interviewing the entire recruitment procedure will approximately span over a time period of 45 days and will require $1500-$5000. Video interviewing on the other hand can help you save up to 67% of the entire cost and require considerably less time and effort, all thanks to technology.

Moreover, you can actually conduct up to 10 video interviews within an hour as compared to one or two phone interviews in the same time period. That is how fast it is!

Video interviewing simplifies your recruitment process and its benefits are numerous and many.
