What is a Video Interview?
A video interview is a job interview conducted remotely using video conferencing technology. There are two main types: live video interviews (real-time conversations over Zoom, Teams, or similar) and asynchronous video interviews (candidates record responses to pre-set questions at their convenience). Video interviews have become a standard part of the recruitment process, especially for early-stage screening and when hiring across geographies.
Why it matters
Video interviews expand your talent pool beyond geographic limits and dramatically reduce the time and cost of early-stage screening. Asynchronous video is particularly powerful for high-volume roles: candidates record responses on their own schedule, and hiring teams review them at their convenience, potentially screening 10x more candidates per hour than phone screens. Live video interviews are invaluable for remote and hybrid organisations where in-person meetings are impractical.
