To help you identify the best talent faster, you can manage your live interviews within the Criteria platform. Whether you are conducting your interviews via a phone screen, online or face-to-face, you can ensure they will all be structured, objective and reliable, using our Live Interviewing product.
All your candidate's data - for their application, assessment results, video interview and live interview - will be in one place, making it easier to evaluate their suitability for the role you are hiring for.
Add structured interviews to assessments for a more complete picture of each candidate
The more reliable, objective information you have about your candidates, the more confidence you can have in your recruitment decisions. We recommend using 2 or 3 assessments early on to measure aptitude, personality and (if required by the role) skills, Emotional Intelligence, and risk propensity. Based on their results, you can then prioritise which candidates are most likely to fit your requirements and invite them to complete an interview.
Research clearly indicates that structured interviews (in which every candidate responds to the same questions and is assessed according to the same criteria) offer twice the predictive validity of unstructured interviews, leading to better hiring decisions and reducing the likelihood of a poor hire.
Streamline the interview experience
Our Live Interviewing product is browser-based and can be used alongside any interviewing process and format, so you don't need to adopt and learn any new technology or troubleshoot new tools.
Your interviewers and hiring managers will be able to focus on evaluating potential candidates. They will have the tools and information they need to conduct each interview confidently, efficiently and consistently.
Candidate experience
Using the Live Interviewing tool, you will deliver an objective, consistent and fair experience for each candidate. Your candidates will appreciate having a professional, well-organized interview and their potential will be evaluated fairly, efficiently and objectively.
