Articles about Hiring Process

Recruiters are burning out at an increasing rate. It’s easy to blame the great resignation and the shift to remote work (then hybrid work) and call it a day. But that’s too easy. The real problem isn’t the challenges we face—those will always come—it’s the processes and systems we have to handle them. In short: we need to upgrade recruiting systems to match the reality we now live in. And an upgraded system includes video interviewing (powered by a purpose-built video interview tool) as part of your recruiting process.

The best business development reps (BDRs) and sales development reps (SDRs) are personable, tenacious, and hungry for success. Usually, the best way to hire them is to engage with them one-on-one to truly assess their capabilities. While this is still critical at later stages of the interview process, it’s too time consuming for high-volume hiring in the early stages. The process becomes a hassle between interview scheduling, test calls, and more. If you’re in growth mode, asynchronous interviews are a key tool in your recruiting box. Here’s how they work and how they empower high volume BDR hiring for all stages of companies.

Done right, virtual hiring events can build the same sense of connection as in-person while also showing off your fantastic culture.

With video interviews, candidates could be recording their responses while you’re asleep. This has great benefits in terms of time savings and efficiency for high-volume hiring, but it also means you need to prepare differently for the process from start to finish. We know this pain all too well at Willo, so we put together a checklist you can use to make sure you’re ready for anything that comes along.

Video interviews help you get to know a candidate more personally than a phone screen without the time and costs of an in-person conversation.

In the first 2 weeks of March, Willo users saved 9,000 hours of work (that works out to 6+ hours per recruiter per week).

While the ability to hire talent from all across the globe is one of the best things about remote work, it also comes with challenges of its own. To hire a good candidate remotely, you’d need to modify your hiring process to accommodate special remote qualities as well as judge a candidate in the usual way you would in an in-person interview.

Async interviews cut hiring time by 50% and costs by 30%. Discover 7 ways to screen candidates efficiently and make better hiring decisions faster.
