If you’ve used VidCruiter, you already know it’s built around video interviews, both pre-recorded and live. While this can seem convenient, it’s not always the most efficient way to screen candidates.

Here is why!

Pre-recorded video interviews can feel robotic because candidates are forced to record responses to questions without receiving immediate feedback. Watching this footage can be time-consuming, especially when conducting high-volume recruiting.

Another problem with this screening method is that it may favor individuals with exceptional presentation skills, but this does not necessarily indicate their actual job performance. That is why you need a screening system that can help you assess for actual performance, not just how confident candidates appear on camera. That is where Workscreen comes in.

Here is why Workscreen is a smarter alternative to Vidcruiter for screening candidates.

• It offers a structured screening system.

Workscreen takes candidates 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. Therefore, it helps you assess performance, rather than just camera confidence. This screening system also promotes fairness.

• It saves you time

By using Workscreen, you will not spend hours watching video footage since its screening process is automated. It also gives you a shortlist of serious, qualified candidates for you to focus on.

• Short, untimed video introduction

Instead of subjecting candidates to pre-recorded video interviews, Workscreen allows you to request a short video introduction. This is particularly useful when you want to get a feel of the candidates without putting unnecessary pressure on them.

So, if you want a smarter, faster, and fairer way to screen candidates, use Workscreen.
