HireVue

HireVue is available across our division, to any and all search committees for interviewing purposes only. It allows hiring departments to conduct a more detailed and professional "first" interview (live or on-demand). We do not use HireVue for any other purposes: job postings, requisitions, resumes, etc.

HireVue is used across our entire organization and is wonderful! We needed an easy tool that can help us as a company be more efficient and successful. HireVue provides many different tools that give plenty of options to make your video experience nice. Some of these tools include being able to upload documents to a candidate's file in Hirevue, creating your own questions and having the candidates either speak and/or type their answer. Our company supports call centers that consist of high volume recruiting. Sometimes it can be very challenging to call every single candidate, but with Hirevue we have seen that our time is not wasted. Instead of calling 150 candidates within 2 weeks which is normal, we tried the interview video and sent the information out to 21 candidates and had 11 responses. Discovering that half of the candidates would respond perked our interest to use this tool more often. We're able to eliminate candidates and call the ones we want by using video interviewing. This also allows us to build a pipeline by keeping the candidates we want for our next round of hires. Overall, this video interviewing was a success!

We've rolled out HireVue in the US (across all departments) and are currently running a pilot in select EMEA departments and locations. HireVue addresses a few key problems: It offers the convenience for candidates to complete a video interview and hiring managers to review video interviews at a time of their choosing. We all have tight schedules, and this on-demand functionality drives down net turnaround time for our screening process. The video interviewing functionality also offers the candidate the ability to bring life to their resume and express the way an organization can expect for them to show up. Similarly, the hiring manager has additional insight to a candidate's engagement level and communication style.

HireVue is used by our organization during our recruitment season. I set up HireVue for hiring managers, who then access the applicants/talent through video interviews.

We currently use HireVue in two ways. HireVue Basic is a part of our teacher application system. Every applicant must record answers to 5 questions which is attached to their on-line application. Hiring supervisors view the videos during the screening process to assist in selecting finalists.

We also use HireVue Live for screening administration positions such as principals, directors and assistant superintendents. We screen candidate applications, which includes their HireVue Basic video, and select a group of candidates who we would like to invite to a first interview. The first interview is administered through HireVue Live. The interviews are then viewed by the Superintendent and hiring team. Three finalists are selected to come in for in-person interviews.
