Digitised interviews
Skype, has been around since 2003, and since then has been widely used to conduct video interviews. Although Skype doesn’t use Artificial Intelligence, there are now AI systems claiming they can assess candidates based on their word choices, speech patterns, and facial expressions, to see if they are a good fit for the role.
This can be achieved through Video Interviewing and pre-hire assessments, which is something that HireVue specialises in. They combine video interviews with predictive, validated IO science and AI to give candidates the best interviewing experience, which allows recruiters to still make confident choices about candidates.
