Employer–Job Applicant Video Interviewing
Potential Solution
A hiring platform powered by the Vonage Video API enables fully integrated, high-quality video interviews as part of the standard recruitment workflow.
At a high level,
- Session access and roles: Create a session on your server and issue tokens per participant with the appropriate role and an expiration time. Roles determine what a participant can do in the session.
- Client experience: Use the Vonage Video client SDKs to connect, publish, and subscribe within your application. For a web-based multiparty conferencing UI, Vonage Video Express is a JavaScript library that works on top of OpenTok.js. See the Video Express Developer Guide.
- Optional capabilities: Implement recording and playback, post-call transcription, live captions, screen sharing, server-side session monitoring, and in-session data messaging.
Key Features
- Embedded, flexible interviewing: Support one-to-one and multi-party interviews in a single workflow, including recruiter screens, hiring manager interviews, technical panels, and cross-functional sessions.
- Integrated and accessible experience: Run interviews directly from candidate profiles with unified scheduling and calendar management, across mobile, desktop, and tablet, without requiring downloads.
- Reliable and secure by design: Deliver high-quality, low-latency video for smoother conversations and better candidate assessment, with encrypted communication to protect privacy and confidentiality.
