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.
As a founder, there are a few company milestones that bring incredible joy. Fundraising is often one of them (Willo raised a Seed round in 2021 that I’m proud of). Helping our customers streamline video interviewing is another (the average user saves 6+ hours per week of admin with Willo). But the real win for me is seeing candidates succeed. And it’s only just the beginning.
With over 40 video interview software platforms available, it can be difficult to choose the right one. If you’re considering video interviews and want a platform that helps manage the whole process (versus just having a video call on Zoom or Microsoft Teams), these questions will help you sort out precisely what you need so you can make a decision on software.
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).
