VidCruiter Review

In my opinion, it is WELL-SUITED for companies with a priority focused on efficiencies, and you don't mind that candidate only interacts with bots. I feel it is LESS APPROPRIATE for hiring highly skilled workers who are also doing their own evaluation during the candidate review process about how valued they will be as employees. EXPLANATION: I was a candidate user, so my experience depends on the setup by the company that I applied. This "interview" experience is unique because, by default at least, there is no feedback about how my responses are received. In my case, the only "feedback" I received was a week later when I got an automated request to complete of a performance task. The task said I had 5 days to complete and it was an intensive task. There was not a specific due date/time shown. (Is it precisely five 24-hours days from receiving the initial email, from when I clicked, or when set up?). I did receive a separate brief email communication with a specific date, but no time zone was given. So after 5 evenings of working on it in separate programs to create the pdf, I went back to the site to submit it and got this error message: "You no longer have access to this page. Either you have withdrawn from this process or the deadline to complete this process has been reached." Shouldn't the program know that I hadn't withdrawn and when the deadline was? It was such a terrible experience to me that it has completely changed my perspective on the company I applied to.

VidCruiter is best suited for those that want to be paperless and go the digital route. VidCruiter gives the option to record the live interviews so they remain on the platform if we ever need to go back to review. In my opinion there is not a scenario where this is not appropriate, because if you don't see a function of interest, VidCruiter will consider creating it or figure a way to make it happen for you.

It is great as an ATS if you have more than one application type, we have multiple, so you can easily switch from one application to the next. We can use pre-recorded questions and can conduct live video interviews right in the system. It can auto-send emails and communication based on your needs. The one issue we have is running reports to keep track of how many applicants we get per month as they go through the particular stages, to keep track of KPIs of our recruiting team. Wish there was a better way to do this.

Vidcruiter is great for initial screening purposes. I love that we can use it as a tool to initially screen candidates and determine what next steps would be best in the process but don't have to commit to doing a phone call or more. We can watch the videos on our own time and then make decisions. I would say it is less appropriate after you've engaged with the candidates (such as a phone call or in-person interview) and then have them do some kind of video interaction (but that's a preference and thinking about candidate experience)

We have created long-standing positions within VidCruiter so that all of the legwork is done initially. If we need to tweak something, that's easily done. VidCruiter can be used more like an ATS, but we are only utilizing it as a link-based video interview. What this means is we send a link to an applicant who then clicks on it once invited. The option exists for applicants to post the link to a particular job, but with our ATS, the link-based method was the best way to go.

If you need a good, well-performing video-interview tool, VidCruiter is the best tool we had a chance to work with. It offers a chance to simplify and save a lot of time with setting up the initial interview, especially if you tend to ask similar questions to all candidates in the first interview to assess who will be invited to the next step.

Video and live interviews built into the software has enabled us to have a more personal understanding of who the applicants are. Many of our applicants are out and about and only have internet access on an infrequent basis. The software and setup is flexible enough that we can meet their special needs also. The continued development and very responsive customer support means that we have been able to find satisfactory solutions to all our particular needs.

The product we developed was very useful for our purposes. Had we known what this product could do, and with enough time, we may have explored different application methods for different types of volunteers.

Some clients have loved the videos and have made them an integral part of the hiring process, but we have had one or two who don't understand the point. Some of our candidates were not impressed that they had to create a video.

Data and reporting - review the boundaries of their reporting and data exporting capabilities and confirm that you can work within those confines. As I mentioned earlier, they are continuing to develop their reporting tools to improve these functions.
