“OVIA Video Interviewing Helps Screen 10,000 Graduate Applications Every Month” |
| OVIA Video Interviewing Helps Screen 10,000 Graduate Applications Every Month Posted: 28 Feb 2011 01:53 AM PST A company whose mission it is to replace telephone job screenings with automated video interviews has released a case study demonstrating the speed and effectiveness of this cutting-edge staffing solution. Graduate Fasttrack is a leading provider of graduates, primarily for sales positions. The recruitment firm often receives more than 10,000 resumes a month from prospective candidates. It needed to find a method of identifying the best candidates and referring them to clients. The identification process needed to be completed quickly – before competing staffing firms had the chance to offer their candidates. Typically, just 2% of candidates are moved forward by Graduate Fasttrack following their initial screening. "The biggest problem we have as a business, because we're in the graduate space, we get flooded with applications- we get 10,000 applications on average every month" Gordon Bennell, MD Graduate Fasttrack In order to speed the process and get its prospects to market faster than their competition, Graduate Fasttrack provided candidates with a public link on their job adverts which allowed respondents to complete an OVIA video interview. As a result, the most motivated candidates recorded unrehearsed answers to a set of targeted interview questions. Graduate Fasttrack then received these responses and were able to immediately invite the best candidates in for a face-to-face interview. "Candidates have to be not only presentable, but also the ability to communicate and come across well. OVIA allows you to see that in a snapshot within five minutes, which is something you can't get from a telephone conversation" David Bumby, Sales Director, Graduate Fasttrack. The results were four-fold: 1. Found the Best Candidates Faster - the time to find the best candidates was reduced as applying using a video interview allowed candidates to fast track their application 2. Bulk Screening - the candidates who were not outstanding on paper but demonstrated the communication skills to be excellent salespeople were able to make themselves standout through recording a video interview 3. Sharing Video Responses with Clients - candidates with exceptional video interviews could be introduced to the client, increasing the chances they would be successfully placed 4. Internal Memory Aid - good candidates who could not be immediately be placed could be referred to later in the video interview database The video of the case study is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9915sIqw5pI This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
