Technology advances have made it easier for companies to interview candidates online by using simple tools (e.g. Skype, Google Hangouts or Hirevue.)
Online interviews with candidates help hiring managers:
- Save time when interviewers and candidates are in different locations
- Identify deal-breakers during initial hiring stages
- Evaluate communication skills, particularly for roles where speaking abilities are key
- Clarify resume details and get to know candidates
- Provide instructions for skills assessments as part of the interview process
