7 Reasons Why You Should Be Using interviewstream For Video Interviewing

More than 60% of HR professionals use video interviews in their hiring process, but the difference between a purpose-built interview platform and a run-of-the-mill video platform is like the difference between apples and… some fruit no one’s ever heard of. So choosing the right video interviewing platform is crucial to streamlining your recruitment. 

Maybe you aren’t using a video interviewing platform yet, or maybe you’re using another provider – but we’re here to tell you why you should start using interviewstream. There are a lot of video interviewing providers out there, but we think ours is the best and we’re here to tell you why.

Video interviewing platforms are not all created equal

You should select your video interviewing platform based on the features offered, ease of use, and ability to troubleshoot with a real person. With all the specialized video interviewing solutions out there, as well as generic video platforms, it can be hard to decide which one is right for you (and, equally important in this marketplace, right for your candidates). We’ll run you through the essential features we have that you’ll need to successfully interview your candidates.

1. You’ll be talking to a real person anytime you need support

One thing that sets us apart from our competitors is our amazing support team. We have a 24/7 support hotline for candidates and members of your hiring team and an internal team that deals with all technological hiccups. On average, we resolve 92% of cases within an hour. When it comes to hiring, the word of the day is speed, and you need a video interviewing platform that reacts quickly to any issues.

2. You’re in good hands – we have experience with over 900 companies and integrate with many ATSs

From small companies to Fortune 500s to K12 school districts, school boards, and healthcare organizations, we serve a wide range of institutions. We’ve been video interviewing for over 19 years and we’re sure we can add value to your hiring process.

We aim to simplify your recruitment process, which is why we integrate with many key ATSs to help you track and evaluate candidates across platforms. If you don’t see your ATS listed, the interviewstream API allows us to integrate with any applicant tracking system and tool currently used in your hiring process.

3. Customize your platform and brand your video interviews.

Add your brand colors and logo to create a more personal experience for your candidates. You can also add intro and outro video recordings for your on demand interviews (which we recommend – candidates love it). If you’d like to personalize your video interviews more, there’s even an option to code your own landing page.

4. It’s easy to train your team through our training site and new in-app guided tours

We have a whole training site dedicated to helping administrators, hiring managers, and candidates make the most of their video interview. Learn based on a pre-established track, or choose your course based on the platform you’ll be using. 

interviewstream also just rolled out in-app guided product training. It’s designed to guide new users (or old users who need a refresher) through the platform step-by-step. For every action you need to take, instructions will appear, helping you seamlessly create your interviews.

5. You’ll have a dedicated Account Manager 

Never have to explain your problem twice because they already know all the ins and outs of your organization. With interviewstream, you have one person that manages your account. They’ll help you set it up, answer any usage questions you might have, and support you if you need it.

6. Range of solutions 

interviewstream offers one way and live video interviews, interview scheduling solutions, and an interview builder designed to help you create sets of interview questions for every position. Manage your entire interview process, from start to finish, through one easy-to-use platform.

7. Ease of use for candidates

One of the complaints people have about video interviews is that candidates might not understand how to use them because the technology is too complicated. However, that’s simply not true. Using on demand and connect live video interviews are as easy as pressing a button. Anyone who can record video and audio can complete a video interview. 

And if candidates are having a hard time or have never completed a video interview, they can always use our training site. We improve candidate experience by allowing candidates to train themselves and test out the platform before they record their interviews. This results in happier, less anxious candidates, and better interviews for you to choose from.
