Future of Interviewing is Here – Mobile Video Interviews

Future of Interviewing is Here – Mobile Video Interviews

Just at the end of last year, EasyHire.me proudly to announced a new innovation within our system that will allow hiring managers to have an even easier time reviewing applicants! We have integrated our platform with the internet browser systems that are accessible both on iOS and Android.  Candidates can now take interviews any time and anywhere without the need to install additional apps.

Having the ability to take an interview instantly from any location in the world puts you, as a hiring team member, in a better position by improving efficiency between you and the candidates. Statistics show that it allows you to increase your exposure to new candidates by 36%*.

Since hundreds of other people are competing for the same position it is important to contact the hiring team as fast as possible to conduct your interview. Being able to see in which order the interviews come in as a hiring manager puts you in an advantageous spot. Here is what NPR said about a study done in 2015,

“being the first person to apply for an interview allows you to gain a more objective review of your resume and gives you a higher chance of landing the position you are seeking” – NPR, 2015.

 

Since those applying first will almost always be the ones who are genuinely seeking the position our new system removes the barrier of additional apps in order to get the hiring managers to the new contacts as soon as possible. If the statistics aren’t enough to satisfy you, check out these three reasons on why you should use our system.

Here are the three reasons why you should use EasyHire.me for your next position:

  1. Uniqueness – Hiring managers have hundreds of choices. Set yourself apart with a mobile video interview.
  2. Convenience – Integrated interviews allow you to take an interview from any device, anywhere. If you find yourself in the library, dorm, or just lounging in the comfort of your living room you can take out your phone and quickly come in contact with a hiring manager.
  3. Efficiency – As a hiring team member you are able to review more interviews in a shorter amount of time. If you are a skilled individual at your position, you can get faster feedback from the candidate in order

If you are getting too many of inconsistent results getting in contact with hiring teams, we would be happy to show how EasyHire.me can lead to conduction of efficient, consistent, and meaningful job interviews.

We’re excited to announce EasyHire.me integration with Zapier!

Most businesses today use a variety of tools and services to manage different aspects of recruiting. Multiple apps are used for posting jobs, prospecting, and interviewing candidates.  Zapier is a platform that enables you to connect various apps together in a simple way.

The integration with Zapier allows you to connect multiple apps with EasyHire.me, making it easy for data to flow across them. You can now setup an interview in EasyHire.me from any of your recruiting apps, effortlessly. Choose the desired Zapier App as “Trigger” and the EasyHire.me app as the “Action” — an interview is created whenever the app is triggered.

For example, if you are prospecting a candidate through email, then after a few email exchanges, you decide to pre-screen the candidate. Now, you can setup an event in Zapier such that whenever you apply a particular label to the email, an EasyHire.me On-demand interview is sent out to the candidate.

Furthermore, consolidate the EasyHire.me interview recordings into your recruiting platform (e.g., ATS) using Zapier. Choose EasyHire.me as the “Trigger” and your recruiting platform as the “Action” — the interview report is sent automatically to the recruiting platform.

How do you get started?

Create your own Zap to chain events from your recruiting app with EasyHire.me:

  • Create a Zapier account or login to your existing account
  • Link your Zapier account with EasyHire.me by configuring the API key in
    EasyHire ->Teams->Settings
