Many video interviews are assessed by advanced machine learning and not human beings. When this was implemented by larger companies a few years back, the machine learning algorithms looked at facial expressions, muscle movements, body language, vocal tones, word choice and thousands of other data points. This was then translated into a score, which was then compared with a learned score of top performing employees at the company. The closer the applicant was to this score would determine the success of the video interview selection process!
However, a new article recently posted on Efinancialcareers discusses some major changes to the automatic video interview process which Hirevue, one of the biggest companies within this recruitment industry, has gone through and which you should be aware of before your next video interview.
