Criteria – a market-leading SaaS talent success platform – recently announced the release of its Live Interviewing solution. This tool can be used for interviewing in any format, whether in-person, over the phone, or via video.
And this new solution will complement Criteria’s full suite of assessment and interviewing products to help hiring managers create a structured interview process with added flexibility. This result is an interview that quickly gets to the heart of a candidate’s job-related skills and abilities while reducing unconscious bias and leading to a better quality of hire across the board.
The Live Interviewing solution can be used with Criteria’s Video Interviewing product along with existing technology like Zoom and MS Teams. And the Live Interviewing solution offers the following key features and benefits:
1.) Build a structured interview in minutes – Select from a library of interview questions (or add your own specific questions to assess unique job requirements) that target job-related competencies and behaviors critical to the roles’ success.
2.) Easy to use and to adopt – Quickly build structured interviews that are highly repeatable and scalable. This is convenient when rolling out a structured interviewing process across teams and departments. The platform takes the burden off of hiring managers and interviewers by giving them ready-made tools to follow structured questions, provide evaluations, and review results.
3.) Get hiring managers up to speed – Hiring managers can quickly see what questions they should ask, along with evaluation guides for evaluating each response, making it easy to adhere to a structured process.
4.) Keep information organized – After each interviewer has rated a candidate, the platform combines the results into a final score report—no need to spend time collating messy results from different team members.
5.) Make a confident decision – Review the results and compare candidates all within the Criteria platform. When used along with Criteria’s assessments, hiring managers can access all key hiring information in one place.
6.) Create a better experience for candidates – Impress candidates with a fair, objective, and organized interviewing process. And candidate satisfaction is higher when they know they are being assessed fairly and objectively, which leads to lower candidate drop-off rates, a better experience, and a boost to the employer brand.
KEY QUOTE:
“Structured interviews are two times more predictive of job success than unstructured interviews and are more objective, fair, less prone to bias, and have less adverse impact. This is because structured interviews level the playing field by allowing every candidate to answer the same questions. Our Live Interviewing tool streamlines the structured interview process which benefits both the hiring manager and candidate.”
