One-Way Interviews

One-way interviews for
straightforward screening

Combine skills testing with video assessment interview questions to evaluate
candidates' communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit — all before the interview.
WHY ONE-WAY INTERVIEWS?

See beyond the resume.

Conduct structured, one-way interviews to assess candidates more efficiently and ethically.

Evaluate Job Fit More Effectively

Including video assessment interview questions in assessments enables you to evaluate the entire candidate, not just skills and experience.

Discover Overlooked Talent

By asking candidates to provide a video “resume” you may uncover valuable skills and experience that would be an asset to your organization.

Evaluate Verbal Communication

If a job requires extensive customer contact, you can evaluate candidates’ verbal communication skills for English and other languages.

Assess Verbal Problem Solving

Video assessment interview questions allow you to present candidates with common situations they would encounter on the job to evaluate their problem-solving skills.

Streamline Group Interviews

Allow hiring managers and entire hiring teams to rate applicants’ responses from 1 to 10 stars based on scoring criteria you establish.

Match Candidate Likeness

Video assessments help verify the candidate throughout the interview process by matching the test taker to the interviewee.
THE PROCESS

Here's how one-way interviews work.

From why to how, here's the breakdown on where one-way interview fit into the hiring process.

Too many interviews, not enough time

Interviewing qualified candidates can be time-intensive.
Let candidates answer questions on their
own time, and review them on yours. Send your
questions, and let candidates respond with video
and audio, whenever is most convenient for them.

Structured interview questions for fair evaluation

Unstructured, unfocused interviews lead to
subjective evaluations and poor hires. By asking
the same questions to each candidate, you can
accurately assess their responses and make more
qualified decisions.

Get everyone’s feedback
with team grading

Share the interview responses with your colleagues
and let them grade the interview independently —
giving you wide-ranging feedback from your entire
hiring team.

As our company really started to grow in size, we started to notice the pains from hiring managers about the quality of candidates and recent hires. There was pressure to fill open roles as quickly as possible. Once we started to use eSkill, we saw improved confidence when hiring and more qualified employees. Our managers were on board with using eSkill, mainly because we were able to work together to create specific assessments. We have not looked back since!
