SELECTPro Automated Online Interviewing

SELECTPro® saves time by enabling you to conduct Automated Online Interviews to screen candidates before meeting with them. You can design custom Automated Online Interviews quickly using the same questions and skill areas used for the SELECTPro Face-to-Face Selection Interview Guides. Automated Online Interviewing allows you to create, send, save, manage and evaluate candidates through the internet. Once again, the questions have been written for you to simplify your interview design task.

ROI for Automated Online Interviews

In a typical first-round interview, a company may have eight candidates and want three managers to interview each candidate for about an hour. That is three full days of lost productivity by already busy managers and potentially thousands of dollars in expenses to bring all eight candidates in for an interview.

With SELECTPro's Automated Online Interviewing, the hiring manager can create an Online Interview for the open position in about 20 minutes. SELECTPro sends an email invitation to each candidate explaining everything they need to do. The candidates each provide written responses to the selected interview questions on their own time. When they are finished, the hiring manager receives each candidate's written responses. The three managers may then spend only 10 minutes reading each candidate's responses. What used to take three full days of work time can now be accomplished in just one morning.

Traditional Interviewing:

    3 managers x 8 candidates x 1 hour each
       = 24 paid hours + transportation & food expenses

Automated Online Interviewing:

    20 mins + 3 managers x 8 candidates x 10 mins each
       = 4.33 paid hours
