An initial conversation online
Video interviews have become an established part of many recruitment processes in recent years. Their use increased significantly during the pandemic. Today, they offer a straightforward way to hold initial conversations, even over considerable distances.
When travel options are limited or locations are far apart, a video interview can be a practical alternative for an initial conversation. It allows both sides to get to know each other, discuss initial questions and form a first impression.
In executive search, we place great importance on meeting our candidates in person as well. For MTSCONSULT, a video interview is therefore a useful addition to the selection process, rather than a routine replacement for a face-to-face meeting.
A video interview also requires careful preparation. Alongside the topics you wish to discuss, reliable technology, a suitable setting and a professional presence all play an important role.
Our short German-language video brings together practical tips to help you prepare for and take part in a video interview.
