The modern world has provided us with a vast number of job opportunities<\/a>. With new job possibilities, the competition for landing a desired job has increased. The reason behind this is that the Internet has provided both the employer and the job searches a chance to explore options and pick out the best ones. These internet innovations have also affected the recruitment process and the video interviews step onto the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video interviews have become one of the most popular methods of recruitment. The Institute of Student Employers has reported that 49% of their members used video interviews as part of their recruitment processes in 2018. It is quite possible that you\u2019ll have to face video interviews if you haven\u2019t already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you present yourself in the interview will make or break your chance of getting your dream job. In the following lines, you\u2019ll find everything you need to know about video interviewing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Video Interviews so Popular?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considering that nowadays almost everyone has access to the Internet, video interviews have become more accessible. The quality of video and affordability of video software have inspired employers to assess candidates through video interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the advantages of video interviews, here are a few that we must mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Saves Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Video interviews save time both to the interviewer and interviewee. In a survey of 506 companies, 47% use video interviewing<\/a> to shorten the time it takes to make a hire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interviewer doesn\u2019t need to set up a conference room or waste time waiting for the candidates to come. All they need to do is to set up a time and that is all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interviewees especially benefit from this type of interview because they don\u2019t need to travel to the place of the interview. They can take the interview from the comfort of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Eliminates Geographic Limitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Candidates across the world have a chance to land a job they want. The location is no longer an obstacle when it comes to job interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers who want to hire remote talent can see their personalities through video rather than just read the CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if a candidate is out of state at the time of the interview due to some unexpected circumstances, a video interview will give them a chance to get that job despite the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n

3. Eases the Tension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the interviewees can take the interviews from their home, that environment will make them more comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the unknown space in the office building, they can comfortably sit in their room. The familiar environment will make them feel more relaxed and they\u2019ll be able to present themselves in the best light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Shows the Basic Knowledge of Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that technology is everywhere, there are people who are struggling with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though video interview demands the basic knowledge of technology, it still shows the employer that the candidates know something about working with technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Helps with Elimination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Video interviews can give a more precise criterion for narrowing down the candidates for the main interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phone interviews or aptitude tests can\u2019t give the right presentation of the candidates. Through video interviews, the interviewer can get a better idea of the candidates\u2019 personalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Enables Detailed Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pre-recorded videos can be very useful for employers because they can re-watch it as many times as they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can analyze the footage without any pressure until they feel ready to pick a candidate. <\/p>\n\n\n

Digital Marketing Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Types of Video Interviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of video interviews and you can come across either of them. Different employers prefer different types of video interviews and they have their reasons for it. It is best that you are familiar with both and prepare accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Pre-recorded Video Interviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"pre-recorded<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In pre-recorded videos, you\u2019ll have access to questions in advance and record a video that addresses those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have an impression like you are practicing for an interview rather than having a real interview. However, those who are intimidated by live interviews will prefer pre-recorded ones because they\u2019ll have time to think about every question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have to read or listen to audio recordings of interviews and then answer them one by one. The time limit can differ from 2 minutes per question to half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some pre-recorded interviews just demand that you create a continuous video where you introduce yourself and address some usual interview questions such as why do you want that job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Live Video Interviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Live videos take place in real-time. You\u2019ll connect with the interviewer and talk with him on the video call or conference<\/a>. It is simply an in-person video that is conducted through video.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The applications that are usually used for this type of video interview are Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, and Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While live videos are more common, pre-recorded videos are a newer method but their popularity is growing. Digital marketers prioritize the pre-recorded interviews because they find that it is more effective when interviewees can record their interviews without any pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
