It is undeniable that technology is fast taking over the recruitment industry and any placement agency willing not to adapt will soon be faced out of business. For a long time, video interviewing has been resisted by the agencies, but there is no way how this will continue. Most of the fears that existed initially have been laid to rest and there are immense benefits for any recruitment agency to invest in video interviewing. Here are some of them-;

Shift in the use of technology

To begin with, there is a shift how people use technology. Video interviewing technology introduces robustness in the hiring process since it can be conducted on the go and on any device, including smartphones and tablets.

It is beneficial to the candidates

Most of the candidates targeted by a placement agency are likely to be already employed and may not have the luxury of time to travel to another city or town for a face to face interview. But it is very easy for such individuals to get on video calls and have interviews with the agencies without being inconvenienced so much in terms of time.

Other than the already employed candidates, video interviews are immense saving opportunities for candidates in faraway places since they don’t have to incur any travel expenses to make it to the interview.

Benefits to the clients

Placement agencies will also save their clients time and money when they conduct video interviews. The candidates won’t have to meet the clients for a face to face interviews and the clients will always be given the full copies of the recorded interviews with the candidates.

Additionally, since the personnel agency is not waiting for anyone to show up, they have the opportunity to interview more candidates quickly and this is very encouraging if the clients needed certain position filled as soon as possible.
