How automation can save time when recruiting staff

For the past 12 years I have been helping clients to automate their marketing and to sell stuff.

But business automation tools can be used to streamline some areas of business that you would not expect. For instance when recruiting staff.

If you have ever had to recruit staff you will know how time-consuming the interview process can be. Especially 1 stage interviews where you have to spend hours conducting the preliminary selection process.

But there are tools that can make this process much more efficient for the interviewer and interviewee. Rather than have a one-to-one interview you can create a video where you ask the questions and the applicant records their responses.

This has a number of advantages – invites can be sent to large numbers of candidates and each is asked exactly the same questions. The interviewee does not need to travel and can complete the questions at a time that suits them. Their responses can be stored and reviewed at a time to suit the interviewer. If the interviewee is a “no show” then you have not wasted an hour of your time. Then when the interviewer has a batch of responses they can make a selection of all those they would like to invite in for a traditional style 2nd interview.

VideoAsk is one such solution that enables this and you can check out their video recruitment solution here. https://www.videoask.com/recruitment
