Communicating with applicants by using webcam technology


Organisations nowadays increasingly make use of internet technology to recruit employees. Part of such "e-recruitment" process is a relatively new but rapidly growing approach that allows communicating with applicants by using webcam technology, time- and place-independent. A recent development in this area is the use of pre-recorded, instead of live, interviews.
Applicants are asked to answer a set of questions that is designed for the specific vacancy they applied for. Answers are recorded using a webcam and sent to the recruiter, who receives a video of the applicant next to the applicants' résumé. This provides a recruiter with an additional source of information, which can be used when decisions are made on whom to invite for a face-to-face interview.
Research results indicate that consequences of using video interviews are contingent on multiple factors such as for example job position, age of applicants, educational level and the labor market situation.
In most situations were video interviews are implemented, a reduction in the number, and an increase in the quality of applications is seen. Further, recruiters seem to be able to make better decisions on whom to invite for face-to-face interviews. As a result, fewer face-to-face interviews have to be conducted to fill a vacancy because applicants perform better in these interviews. Therefore, the main consequences of using pre-recorded video interviews in the selection process of job candidates is that a similar amount of same quality hires can be made in a more efficient way.
