Video interviews are an excellent way of improving the candidate experience by encouraging contact right from the 1st stages of recruitment. Let's find out how.
Job interviews are an essential part of any recruitment process. However, a face-to-face interview is not always an option: candidates who are geographically distant, or in a particular health situation... Video pre-selection is also an excellent way of reducing the need for physical interviews. To remedy the problem, Beetween gives you access to video maintenance. Included in all packages, you can connect any room-based videoconferencing tool.
Video recruitment: setting up the service
By default, Beetween does not impose any particular videoconferencing service. We connect to the one of your choice. To connect your favorite videoconferencing tool to Beetween, you need to use an online room system. This system is the most widespread among videoconferencing tool editors. Zoom, Skype, Whereby and many others work this way.
The principle is simple: when you create your account, your videoconferencing solution will assign you a reserved space for your meetings, in the form of a URL (an Internet link). Beetween then connects to your tool via this link. In other words, once you've created your account, you'll need to communicate the name of the platform and the URL of your room to our support team, who will configure your access. Once set up, you can offer your candidates video job interviews at no extra cost.
Offer a live video interview
The interview proposal is sent by email. To do this, go to the candidate file and click on the Interview tab. As for an interview proposal by email, fill in the email without forgetting the subject, date and time. Don't forget to check Video Interview!
If you see an orange message telling you that the option is not activated, contact support to request the connection of a videoconferencing tool.
You can only connect one account per platform.
Video: a group job interview
Group video interview with candidate, recruiter and manager(s)
Video interviews are also an excellent way to conduct joint interviews with managers and other recruitment stakeholders. To do this, put all the people invited to the interview in CC or CCI. They'll also receive the invitation, and can enter the appointment in their diary with a single click.
Group video interview with several candidates
Go to the recruitment stage where the relevant candidates are located, or simply to the CV library. Select candidates and click on Interview in the menu at the top of the page.
Check Video maintenance in the top right-hand corner of the pop-up window.
Modify or delete a scheduled video interview
Once a video interview has been scheduled, it cannot be modified or deleted. To do this, you need to send a new email to the candidate (with an interview proposal if it's a modification, or without if it's a cancellation).
In this case, we advise you to leave a brief note in the file history to keep a record of this modification (or cancellation). In fact, all video interview proposals are logged in the file.
Another method is to act directly on the appointment in your diary (if you have copied the invitation to yourself). In this way, you can directly modify the date and/or time of the appointment.
