Video Recruitment vs. Generic Video Platforms

Niche Recruitment | Video Recruitment Platform

In the current pandemic, there has obviously been an increase in video recruitment. One of the most common questions we get asked by clients is “Why should we use your video recruitment platform when I’ve already got a video tool, like Teams or Zoom?” 

The answer is straightforward. While it is true both Teams and Zoom are great video tools, that allow you to conduct a 2-way interview, they are generic video conferencing tools. The system we utilise as explicitly been developed (by a company called Hinterview) and is purpose-built for recruitment. It incorporates a suite of features designed to optimise the recruitment process. That doesn’t just mean the interview stage; it means streamlining our clients’ whole recruitment process. 

Look at it this way…. If you were planning to do some off-road driving, would you choose a Ferrari or a Land Rover? Both are cars and therefore fulfil the ‘driving’ brief. However, it would make sense to pick the one designed for off-road driving, i.e. the Land Rover? 

It is the same with video interviewing. Our system and the generic conferencing tools can both connect interviewers and candidates, yet our system offers additional tools to support our client’s recruitment process such as:- 

  • Built-in GDPR compliance 
  • One way video tool with subtitles 
  • Bespoke client platform, which displays CVs alongside recordings 

  

GDPR Compliance And Security 

GDPR compliance should be high on the agenda for any recruiting manager. Niche’s video recruitment system is built with privacy at the heart of its design. With dual-factor consent technology, all activity on the platform is GDPR-compliant. Hence as a client, you can have complete confidence that anything saved in our systems is legal. 

 

 One-way Video Option To Support Your Pre-screening 

For any role, you’ll likely need answers to some screening questions. What better way to deliver them than in quick self-recorded candidate videos? Here at Niche, we can coordinate this process for you. Sending your screening questions to candidates and collating the returned videos 

From there, we can either conduct a further in-depth 2-way video screening of the candidates that best meet your criteria — hence presenting you with a short-list of 2 or 3 top-notch candidates for you to progress. Alternatively, if you have the time to pre-screen candidates yourself, we can simply upload responses onto your client portal, and you can take it from there. 

 

 Bespoke Client Video Recruitment Portal 

Every client we work with has a personal video recruitment portal. Allowing both the HR Team and Hiring Managers access to the relevant candidates. Everything in one place, the candidate’s CV plus their pre-screening 2-way or 1-way interview…It couldn’t be easier!
