How should recruiters use interview intelligence platform?

A recruiter’s dream job is making hiring fast and reliable. However, doing so is easier said than done, as recruiting remains one of the toughest and most thankless jobs. So, how can companies increase their efficiency in hiring the best talent? This is where companies are now using interview intelligence platforms.

Before we delve further into the issue, we must first understand the concept of an interview intelligence platform. While people may think it is a tool that might take over the entire recruitment process, it is a common misconception. An interview intelligence platform is an AI assistant rather than taking over the process.

This is because leaving AI on its own without any human intervention can have disastrous consequences. Therefore, companies developing such tools advertise them as AI-assisted platforms. 

These platforms have gained prominence in recent times because they save two of a company’s most precious resources: time and money. In addition, with the amazing advancements made in the field of AI, these tools are improving at a rapid pace (sometimes even on a weekly basis), helping make the hiring process more efficient.

An interview intelligence platform is a great resource, but only if used correctly. Recruiters must understand that an AI interview tool is only as good as the people who use it. Also, such tools do not interfere in the interview process by giving their opinions but rather provide all the data to the recruiters, thus allowing them to make a decision.

Interview preparations 

The usage of the interview intelligence platform can be categorized into three parts:

• Pre-Interview
• Interview 
• Post-interview

Pre-Interview 

The first step of hiring involves selecting CVs for the interview. While companies used to do it manually, the interview intelligence platform can select resumes using an algorithm that can select specific keyphrases relevant to the job posting.

After selecting the CV, the next step is to create an interview plan that would be followed for every candidate. It is here that a good interview intelligence tool shows its capabilities. Recruiters can enter a job posting and the specific demands of the job. A good tool like BarRaiser will have huge customization options, like the number of interview rounds and the time duration of such interviews. 

Usually pre interviews are where the recruiter spends most of the time planning so as to ensure that they have ample time to concentrate on the interview. This process is usually called structured interviews. And the aim of such interviews is to ensure that every candidate is judged on the same metrics.

Interviews 

One of the reasons why interview intelligence platforms are so useful is because they ensure that every detail of the interviews are recorded and at the same time provide the recruiter with real time insights.

A good interview AI tool will give recruiters a host of options including questions and suggestions to ensure the interview experience is smooth. For example, if an interview is scheduled for 60 minutes, and the interview is going beyond that, a tool should immediately raise an alert for the interviewer to hurry up the process.

Other features of a good interview intelligence tool includes ensuring that the candidate does not face any discrimination. So if the interviewer by mistake or deliberately may pass a remark that may be offensive, the tool should immediately raise an alert. This helps in creating a transparent process that has adequate checks and balances.

Post interview 

After the interview process is over, companies usually follow the process of interview debriefs. During this, the recruiter that has conducted the interview sits with all the stakeholders of the company to decide on which candidate is best suited for the job.

However, with an interview intelligence platform, the era of interview debriefs may be over. This is because the tool makes a detailed report on the candidates. The report is not generated by the AI but is generated by taking inputs from the recruiter so as to ensure that the AI is monitored.

This report can be shared online with the entire team at the company to get their reviews. Since the entire interview is recorded and also transcribed it allows every person involved in the hiring to share specific inputs on the interview. This is where they can also point out any mistakes in the interview that were made by the interviewer.

Advantages of using an interview intelligence platform

Reduces bias 

One of the advantages of using an interview intelligence tool is that since it doesn’t have feedback, it does not doesn’t discriminate against any candidate. Since there is always a chance of bias entering the system because of the human factor, using AI in an interview negates that.

These tools use structured interviews along with recording and transcribing the interview. It allows the interviewer and all their colleagues to have a look at the interview. These tool also make the interviewer provide feedback on every question in the interview.

In addition, it also immediately raises an alert if anything discriminatory is said or written in the feedback.

Makes hiring faster

As mentioned earlier in the article, hiring involves spending vast amounts of time and money. Thus the main aim of companies is to ensure they have to hire candidates which are not only good fit for the role but who will also stay at the company for a long time.

However, going through a lot of CVs before scheduling interviews and then following it up with interview debriefs takes away a lot of time. Thus, it is a process companies want to do as little as possible.

This is where having an interview intelligence platform is of great use as it makes the process fast and efficient. It will also frees up recruiters to focus on other things such as working on brand strategy and working on policy making.
