Tips for creating your own template
When you invite candidates to interview it's a good idea to give them some context either over the phone beforehand or in the email. This will improve the chance of them completing a video for you.
Try to explain the main benefits to them of completing a Willo interview:
- Time saved (on average it takes candidates 20 minutes to complete an interview)
- They can complete it anywhere (Flexible around their schedule)
- Ability to be seen and heard
- Assessed on the same questions as every other candidate (Level the playing field)
