Eliminate Telephone Interviews
The PeopleCurve Envoy online video interview service automates how you choose which candidates to bring in for on-site interviews.
It is common to have problems scheduling and conducting telephone interviews, and then taking action based on the information gathered on the calls. The ad hoc manual processes to manage telephone interviews are ineffective in their ability to gather the necessary information and to drive real results.
Envoy eliminates telephone interviews.
How it works...
Through Envoy, you email qualified candidates a link to a secure web site that presents job-specific questions. At their convenience, candidates use the site and a webcam to a record video of the answers.
You review only as many answers as required, compare the candidates, and tell HR which candidates to bring in for onsite visits.
Gather information without scheduling hassles
Envoy eliminates the need to coordinate multiple people.
- Questions are automatically asked - Online questionnaires gather information that determines whether or not to bring in the candidate for a face-to-face visit. Candidates use a webcam to record a video containing answers.
- Answers are always available - The PeopleCurve datacenter securely stores the videos. Hiring managers and HR staff members can screen candidates anytime, anywhere.
- Interviews are always on time - Candidates and employers perform their tasks independently. Candidates provide answers, and employers evaluate the information on their own schedules.
Conduct well structured interviews
Envoy gathers the information needed to take action
- Manage breadth of information - Job-specific questionnaires ask only the right questions. These questions assess basic compatibility with critical elements of the job and provide insight into intangibles.
- Control depth of information - Questionnaire creation and editing let employers determine the level of detail to gather. Complex questions are best left to face-to-face meetings.
- Maintain focus on goal - One-way communications focuses attention on the only reason for the interview: to determine if the candidate is worthy of a face-to-face visit. No one wastes time on irrelevant issues.
Act quickly and effectively
Envoy helps employers make decisions and provide direction.
- Review quickly - The Questionnaire View lets hiring managers and HR staff members select the order and the quantity of the answers to review. Employers review only as many answers as needed, no more, no less.
- Make objective comparisons - The Applicant View lets employers compare the answers given by the different candidates. Employers objectively compare candidates to other candidates, and against objective criteria.
- Make informed decisions - The Action Manager provides one-click follow-up. Envoy records the decision, and the HR staff member invites the candidate for a face-to-face interview, or extends regrets.
