Our Employment Firm in Queens: Tips For Remote Interviewing

At Express Employment Professionals Queens, our employment firm connects local businesses with job-seekers from across the 5 boroughs. In a time when the job market is shifting rapidly, we help you keep on top of new hiring trends and recruitment strategies. It means we can help you and your company stay competitive year-round. 

One rapidly growing trend is remote interviewing. For businesses of all sizes, interviewing job-seekers remotely is a great way to remove the logistics and complications of in-person interviewing. But it's also easy to overlook outstanding candidates in this process. Let's take a look at how to make sure that doesn't happen. 

3 Tips For Conducting Remote Interviews 

Video interviewing is a relatively new practice for many businesses, but it's also brand-new for many job-seekers, too. At our employment firm, we conduct remote interviews with prospective hires in Queens and the surrounding area. We know how important it is to take a few extra steps when remotely interviewing, so you can truly assess the potential of candidates.

Here are our three tips:  

• Make space for chit-chat. It's always tempting to jump straight into the big questions. At the start of any interview, though, you'll want to leave some time for chit-chat. In a video interview, it can give both you and a prospective candidate time to get to know each other. It's also a good chance to iron out any tech issues early on.   
• Remember body language.  In video-conferencing especially, participants rely heavily on body language and non-verbal communication. If you're not making eye contact or otherwise visibly engaging with a candidate, they may think you're bored or you've zoned out. Be sure to use clear, encouraging body language. 
• Get creative with tech.  Video conferencing gives you plenty of opportunities to get creative with interviewing. You'll have the chance to screen-share blueprints, maps, or schematics. You'll have the chance to see candidates in action, and to assess whether they'd really excel in your workplace.
