One-way interview

One-way interview, also known as asynchronous interview, pre recorded interview, virtual interview or digital interview, enables prospective employers to conduct online video interviews in an automated fashion.[1] The interviews are conducted via websites or internet-enabled devices which use digital interviewing applications.[2]

One-way interviewing is becoming a standard method for first round of screening. It utilizes software to equip hiring personnel to interview candidates who are short of time and could not do a traditional face-to-face interview because of large number of applications, or candidates that align with a prospective position that may be a full or part-time remote work opportunity.

Interview candidates that are used to traditional face-to-face interviews may find one-way interviewing unusual due to the lack of verbal and non-verbal feedback during the one-way interview process.[3]
