We completely agree! Face-to-face interviews are certainly irreplaceable, hence our Online Video Interviews are designed as optional alternative solutions for the phone screening process & first-round interviews to determine who are the candidates worth meeting in-person.

With Skype being a two-way approach of requiring both interviewer and interviewee to be online at the same time, this results in the interviewer spending more time having to schedule and sit in for each session. By now using wowintro’s Online Video Interview, interviewers would merely need to set their questions, send invites, and watch submitted answers at their convenience. Candidates who take the online interview would only see the questions for the first time and are required to think on their feet to answer within the specified time given with no retries, without being able to rehearse or prepare a script as it would replicate a live interview experience.

We understand that this would not be suitable for people of all ages especially those with decades of experience under their belt, however our clients have said that it is perfect for those of ages 18-35 who even prefer and find it cool to take online interviews.

Keeping things simple, everything is done through an internet browser (preferably Google Chrome). Also, the majority of our candidates prefer to use laptops over mobile devices as they want to present themselves professionally. We think it would be quite silly to expect candidates to download an app for just one interview.

To date, all our clients are impressed with how fast it takes for us to get their accounts started. In fact, it takes less than an hour for you to plug and play. Thanks to our attention to detail on the user interface and maximizing user experience, our clients have also given feedback that their Hiring Managers who weren’t tech savvy were able to navigate our website with ease.

Chances are that more than 90% of HRIS systems do not come with an Online Video Interview software. Also, the beauty is that our clients prefer to use it as a standalone service, while the option of integrating it to your HRIS system is also available.

Naturally, all systems are designed to increase productivity. While wowintro has a quantifiable ROI which easily pays for itself after a few months of usage. From there, it’s all about saving your company thousands of dollars in the short run and becoming the company’s HR cost-savings hero. In fact when directly compared with our competitors, we’ve been told to be more than 12-25x more affordable while even beating them out on certain features.

The Online Video Interview is our latest offering that has been well received by many big established companies for its use of setting interview questions and inviting shortlisted applicants for an online interview. On the other hand, our Applicant Tracking System that comes with a Career Page (linked to their website) that enables employers to post jobs and keep track of candidate applications along with a host of other features aimed to boost recruitment productivity.
