With the need to maintain social distancing, remote interviews are fast becoming ubiquitous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/working-from-home\/\">working from home<\/a> has hassles of its own, the real challenge occurs in recruiting individuals. No matter how experienced you are in interviewing people, the shift to an entirely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/hiring-and-managing-remote-teams\/\">remote recruitment plan<\/a> is going to be a tough nut to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>80% of recruiters have been using video in the interview process.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1-60x30.png 60w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/employee-recognition-10-1-1-480x240.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You have to be prepared with your questionnaire and a &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jabra.com\/business\/video-conferencing\/video-conferencing-cameras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video conference camera<\/a> and align other things right in time for the interview. Even if you do all of this successfully, it is complicated to analyze a candidate from their nonverbal cues from video conferencing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there\u2019s nothing to worry about!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remote-interview-tips\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remote_Interview_Tips\"><\/span><strong>Remote Interview Tips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still conduct successful virtual interviews and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/hire-right-talent-for-a-startup\/\">hire the best employees for your organization<\/a>. Just keep these smart tips in mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-review-your-current-interview-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Review_Your_Current_Interview_Process\"><\/span><strong>1. Review Your Current Interview Process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re shifting to remote interviewing, it\u2019s a good time to re-evaluate the process you already have. Is it effective? Is it structured? What can you do better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most companies don\u2019t have a <a href=\"https:\/\/springrecruit.com\/blog\/remote-work-transformed-hiring-process\/\">dedicated hiring process<\/a>. It\u2019s not about meeting another person. Your process should allow candidates to move reasonably quickly through a clear sequence of steps that feels personal to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the communication clear while you\u2019re hiring remotely. These are basic elements that candidates will need to know ahead of time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who will they be meeting from your team?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What should they prepare?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will it be an audio call or a video call?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will you want them to share their screen at any point?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What tools or apps will you want them to use?&nbsp; And do they need to download and test them ahead of time?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to hire great talent, then improve your remote interview process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-create-a-definitive-plan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_a_Definitive_Plan\"><\/span><strong>2. Create a Definitive Plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you can\u2019t go asking questions from desk to desk, you should formalize the hiring plan with your entire team. Start by asking the most relevant questions about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/inbound-recruiting\/\">new hiring strategy<\/a> and then work on them one by one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider whether the candidate needs to go through a pre-assessment or what communication channels you need to have in place for conducting the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-introduce-candidates-to-the-company-virtually\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Introduce_candidates_to_the_company_virtually\"><\/span><strong>3. Introduce candidates to the company virtually<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re hiring virtually, create a branded content package that candidates can review in their free time to get a feel for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/how-to-create-company-values\/\">company\u2019s culture and values<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are things you can consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Include major company announcements or press and media coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee profiles,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glassdoor reviews.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer testimonials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Team celebration photos and videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benefits and perks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-prepare-your-tech\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Prepare_Your_Tech\"><\/span><strong>4. Prepare Your Tech<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation of remote interviews is tech. This is one of the parts of the <a href=\"https:\/\/remote.com\/services\/employer-of-record\">remote hiring process<\/a> that will demand most of your attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have a good internet connection, along with other nuances. Since internet issues are not new, also prepare yourself with an alternate mode of communication that you may need to use when there is a connectivity problem in the network. Try to test your equipment in advance to minimize such issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-plan-your-time-frame-and-be-appropriately-dressed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Plan_your_Time_Frame_and_Be_Appropriately_Dressed\"><\/span><strong>5. Plan your Time Frame and Be Appropriately Dressed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When conducting remote interviews, make sure you give other people an ample amount of time to set up their tech as well. Remember that it\u2019s not just you who will be sitting through the interview, but the candidate as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inform your candidate as early as possible and ask them to keep their phone, laptop, and internet connection ready and tested before the interview. The more clear directions you provide to the candidate, the smoother will be the interview process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter if it&#8217;s a remote interview or an onsite interview, the underlying ethics remain the same. Make sure you are formally dressed for the interview so that the culture and seriousness of your workplace are evident to the candidate. It is advisable to add request your candidate to do the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that dressing up formally is little about the clothes and more about the culture that you bring to the table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-choose-an-undisturbed-space-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Choose_an_Undisturbed_Space\"><\/span><strong>6. Choose an Undisturbed Space&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home can be quite an experience, especially when you have little children in your house. Make sure that you pick a quiet and undisturbed place of your residence to conduct the interview.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you listen and understand the candidate in a much better manner. Also, ask the candidate to choose a quiet and well-lit environment for the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-take-feedback-after-the-interview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Take_Feedback_After_the_Interview\"><\/span><strong>7. Take Feedback After the Interview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take feedback after the interview. This way, you will learn from your experience and understand the areas where the remote recruitment process needs improvement. Prepare a survey and keep it simple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can ask questions like how could the interviewing process be improved, or was the <a href=\"https:\/\/vocalvideo.com\/resources\/remote-interview-software\/\">remote interview software<\/a> or platform chosen for the remote interview convenient, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-don-t-reinvent-your-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Dont_Reinvent_Your_Questions\"><\/span><strong>8. Don\u2019t Reinvent Your Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of things have to be improvised during the process of remote interviews. This process has already changed the dynamic between the recruiter and the candidate. To minimize any gaps, the best you can do is ask your candidates a consistent set of questions that you have been asking during regular on-site interviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sure that you can still judge a candidate based on their merit, even if there are a lot of disturbances in the tech or connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-have-a-back-up-plan-in-place\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Have_a_Back-Up_Plan_in_Place\"><\/span><strong>9. Have a Back-Up Plan in Place<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how good your tech is or how many times you\u2019ve tried and tested it, you cannot wholly rely on it during an interview.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To value your and your candidate\u2019s time, it is best that you have a backup plan in place. Whether you would like to switch to a voice call or a video call on WhatsApp, be prepared with the next possible set of actions, and also inform your candidate about them well in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-don-t-waste-time-interviewing-unsuitable-candidates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Dont_Waste_Time_Interviewing_Unsuitable_Candidates\"><\/span><strong>10.

A wise recruiter identifies suitable candidates and doesn&#8217;t spend their time interviewing all the candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conduct a <a href=\"https:\/\/testlify.com\/pre-employment-screening-in-hiring-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pre-employment screening<\/a> to get a clear picture of what the candidate is like, how are their communication skills, experience, and tech skills, and whether you find them a perfect fit for your organization or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Discuss_the_challenges_of_Remote_Work\"><\/span><strong>11. Discuss the challenges of Remote Work<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its main benefits, remote work comes up with unique challenges. Remote workers have to manage their time and schedule, which can lead to a lack of working structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When conducting a remote interview, you must discuss an interviewee\u2019s experience and hesitations about remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HR leaders should encourage candidates to identify solutions that may help them succeed within your remote team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some sample questions you can ask:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have you ever worked remotely?

Behavioral Assessments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use behavioral questions to assess how candidates have handled situations in the past. Ask them to provide specific examples of their problem-solving skills, teamwork, and adaptability.
