Selection: How to make
better hiring decisions
using the interview suite
Process efficiency is not enough for successful recruiting!
.
In order to meet today’s work requirements, employees need the right set of
competencies, skills, and knowledge. Hence, it has become a crucial factor for
companies to identify and select the right candidates from the very first stage of
the selection process. The pool of suitable specialists is not as big as it used to
be…
However, in the war for talent, it’s not only about being the quickest. Every wrong
decision is devastating. That‘s why every stage of the selection process, whether
CV screening or face-to-face interviewing, has to focus on efficiency and
reliability at the same time. Everything is nothing without the correct selection
decision.

Asynchronous video interviews are more reliable than CV screening
The latest study conducted by viasto found that the interview suite proves to be
superior to traditional CV screening.
.
The interview suite, viasto’s award-winning software for asynchronous video
interviewing (SaaS), not only improves the efficiency of selection processes.
Above all it allows recruiters & hiring managers to reliably identify the right talent
through competency-based video interviewing. The interview suite therefore
increases the quality of selection decisions.

Evaluation is not influenced by a candidate’s attractiveness
!
As soon as candidates’ pictures are available in the selection process, the
professional selection decision proves to be biased by physical appearances.
The ratings based on asynchronous video interviews with the interview suite
however remained unbiased regarding the candidate’s attractiveness!
.
CV: “Would you invite the candidate
to a face-to-face interview?”
“No”
“Yes”
“I don‘t think the
candidate is
attractive”
“I do think the
candidate is
attractive”
Graphic 2: The aptitude judgment based on
CV screening was biased by attractiveness
(viasto, 2012).
Video Interview: “Would you invite
the candidate to a face-to-face
interview?“
“No”
“Yes”
“I don‘t think
the candidate
is attractive”
“I do think the
candidate is
attractive”
Graphic 3: The aptitude judgment
based on asynchronous video
interviews was objective (viasto, 2012).

Different competencies become apparent
!
Within the interview suite, reviewers are capable of easily distinguishing between
different competencies.
Competencies like “team spirit”, “analytical thinking”, “fluency in a foreign
language”, “customer-orientation” or “performance-orientation” can be directly
and unambiguously observed in the video interview.!

Easily and reliably identifying the most suitable candidates
!
The study clearly shows: the interview suite serves a valid and, at the same time,
specific filtering function. Recruiters are easily able to identify the most suitable
candidates for the subsequent assessment steps like face-to-face interviews or
assessment centers.
Thanks to its competency-based assessment and an efficient process, the
interview suite increases the quality of your selection decisions.
