AI-driven video interviews are taking over the HR world

Interviewing is intrinsic to hiring for any role. However large-scale hiring, spread across various cities, can be a time consuming and expensive activity. Also, assessments based solely on human interaction may not always be accurate and objective.

Recently, an applicant's digital footprint travels faster than his physical candidature. With the advancement in data analytics and automation, interviewing can happen on the go over a phone or app. Video interviewing thus is gaining traction due to incumbent benefits of reduced scheduling, lesser associated travels and lesser costs related to face to face interviews. With the help of customized, subject oriented questions hosted on the platform, a quick assessment of a candidate can be done. Further, AI can help in analysing the video of the interview to evaluate a candidate's engagement when making a hiring call.

Recently, a large Indian Bank set out to select cohorts for their flagship Banker hiring program, an exercise spread all over India covering more than 20,000 candidates. Physically interviewing such a large mass, at the same consistent quality was difficult.

Aspiring Minds helped select the best banking talent for the program with its suite of assessments covering through online test models including AutoView, an AI-powered automated video interview tool.

AutoView enables a cloud based platform for hosting custom questions - audio or video; helped record answers for interviewer's evaluation; and on top of that, provided a standard AI-based scoring for candidate's expressions.

It resulted in considerable reduction in interviewer efforts in terms of associated travel time, as well as saved expense for both interviewers and candidates.
