If you have been using Hirevire, you have probably watched multiple videos from candidates, as it primarily focuses on one-way video interviews. Though this screening method may be a good way to filter out unqualified applicants, it’s not the most effective.

Here is why!

Hirevire’s screening process requires candidates to record multiple video responses to preset questions with no real-time interaction. According to research from a YouTube video, candidates reveal that talking to a camera instead of a person makes the experience feel disconnected.

For hiring teams or managers, this process is not efficient. Watching hours of video footage just to figure out who’s worth shortlisting quickly turns into a tedious task. And because this kind of screening emphasizes how someone presents themselves, it favors confident speakers over people with actual ability or relevant skills. The process can therefore introduce bias. That is why you need a better way to screen candidates.

And this is where Workscreen comes in. It is a hiring platform that offers a much more efficient, faster, and fairer screening process.

Let’s look at why Workscreen is a smarter Hirevire alternative for screening candidates

WorkScreen takes a completely different approach to screening.

• It provides a structured and objective screening process.

Instead of subjecting candidates to one-way video interviews, it takes them through a carefully structured screening process where they undertake a series of automated tests and relevant questions specific to your job post. They are screened for job alignment, relevant experience, job-specific skills, core qualifications, and critical competencies, such as attention to detail. This ensures that every candidate is assessed on their real ability, not on how well they perform on camera, promoting objectivity and fairness.

• The screening process saves you time.

Workscreen’s screening process eliminates the need to sit through hours of video footage just to decide if someone is a good fit.

• It gives you a chance to request a video introduction

If you want to get a feel of the candidate, Workscreen also allows you to request a short, optional video introduction. This gives you a quick sense of their communication style without forcing candidates to record multiple videos.
