Hirevue for more effective job interviews

HireVue

Hirevue is an online video interviewing platform in which job candidates can sign up for an account for an affordable price and can interview candidates live. Hirevue is a good way for people to evaluate how they are answering questions and people of intellectual disability can see themselves on this yet their care takers can evaluate them on how they answered questions. Also the interviewees can show their skills on video to a respective job recruiter. Job recruiters can evaluate their performance live and show their support for the candidate and also tell them or show them visually with graphics and images on how to improve. The format is up to the care taker and interviewer and can be negotiated based upon learning style. The cost savings for a hiring manager are substantial as well. Video bridges the gap between the interviewee and the interviewer because you can see the expressions, emotions, and characteristics of who you are hiring without having them have to come to your office for the interview. Regarding the transportation issue with your clients with intellectual disabilities this advantage is a good one.
What is a Virtual Video Interview?
Live Interviews are video interviews that allow you to meet face-to-face with the hiring staff at your potential new employer via online video conference. You will be asked to meet with them one-on-one or with a panel of up to 3 interviewers. Like the virtual interview, your responses will be recorded along with the questions and conversation of the interviewers.
A virtual video interview is an interview where you will be responding to questions entered into the system by the requesting company. For example, imagine the first question being "Tell me about yourself". In a HireVue Recorded Video Interview, you will have 30 seconds to read the question and then up to three minutes to respond. Your response is being recorded, securely, onto HireVue servers. Once you have finished your interview, the hiring managers or recruiters at the requesting company can login to watch your interview. Below is an interview with Hirevue's CEO Ryan Money on a basic overview of the benefit of using his internet interviewing technology.
