Hire HireVue for Hiring

Know More: Companies, Entrepreneur 2.0, Entrepreneur

Last month we used HireVue for selecting our new Operations Manager. I've posted about Ryan Money and HireVue here before, but for the sake of a quick review, HireVue is a company that conducts virtual interviews for employers.

This makes obvious sense for remote interviews to avoid bring people across the country, but I found that it was great for interviewing local people. Here's why:

More interviews: because the interviews can be conducted at the convenience of the interviewee and can be viewed at the convenience of the hiring manager, we were able to interview many more people.
Fair process: the HireVue process gives each person the exact same opportunity to answer the same questions (we wrote the questions). This allowed us to avoid variations in the interviewer's questions so that we can fairly compare one interview to another.
Peer Review: because the interviews can be viewed on-line, they can be shared with everyone who may wish to influence the hiring process, giving us buy-in from the whole team.

As a result of HireVue we were able to hire a more well qualified Operations Manager. Our new manager, Ray Sweger, interviewed from Boston painlessly, allowing us to virtually meet him and get comfortable with his skills. Without HireVue, we would not have hired him.

We won't be hiring without HireVue again.

I have met Ryan and Mark a couple of times and have been very impressed with this simple yet awesome implementation of technology to a frustration that every company has. I think you hit it on the head that this is not just for remote interviewing but very effective for local interviews because of the efficiencies it introduces without losing much of the personal touch - at least at the early stages (where you want to weed out).

Kudos to Ryan and Mark.
