5. The 5 BIG Myths Of Video
Interviewing

6. Myth #1 – It Puts Candidates Off

7. TRUTH:
• Not according to our research and the experience of our clients
• Response rate reflects communication (up to 99%)
• 41% of ‘Millennials’ said they prefer to communicate in
electronically rather than face to face (by 2020 they will account for
50% of the global workforce) source: PwC
Myth #1 – It Puts Candidates Off
81% of candidates
said they would do
video interviewing
again

8. Myth #2 – Our Managers Prefer To Do Their
Own Interviewing

9. TRUTH:
• In many cases, local managers prefer video interviewing as
they are too busy during the working day to do phone interviews
or initial face to face interviews
• Example: AccorHotels use it in each hotel
Myth #2 – Our Managers Prefer To Do Their Own Interviewing

10. Myth #3 – It Doesn’t Work In My Industry

11. TRUTH:
• We have clients in every industry:
• Finance, Retail, Hospitality,
Pharmaceutical, Professional Services,
Government, etc
Myth #3 – It Doesn’t Work In My Industry

12. Myth #4 – It Encourages Discrimination

13. TRUTH:
• If someone wants to discriminate, they will.
• Video interviewing allows more people into the recruitment
process and provides an audit trail of decision making
• It enables less able-bodied people to be met face to face more
easily (including live video interviewing)
Myth #4 – It Encourages Discrimination

14. Myth #5 – Only Suitable For Volume And
Graduate Recruitment

15. TRUTH:
• Video interviewing is applicable to a
broad range of job levels, sectors and
candidate profiles.
