We managed to reduce the time-to-hire by one week—simply by sending out the video interview invitation immediately after receiving the application. No need to schedule appointments or define a location: candidates could complete the interview comfortably from home—sometimes also after work, whenever it suited their schedule.”

"The asynchronous video interviews helped us a lot. We broadened the pool of candidates simply by sending each candidate an invitation to the video interview. This also ensures fairness."

By introducing asynchronous interviews, we were able to establish a fully transparent process. Every applicant receives the same standardised questions and answers them in their own time. This has enabled complete comparability, as questions in traditional, individual interviews often vary.

“Video interviews offer the great advantage that they can be viewed by various stakeholders simultaneously. This means that the hiring team can form their own first impression instead of only receiving the passed-on summary from the recruiter.”
