Videohaastattelu

Videohaastattelu, also known as a video interview, is a method of conducting job interviews remotely using video conferencing technology. This approach allows employers to interview candidates who are not physically present at the interview location, saving time and resources for both parties.

Videohaastattelu can be conducted live, where the interviewer and candidate interact in real-time, or asynchronously, where the candidate records their answers to pre-set questions at a time convenient for them. Live video interviews are similar to in-person interviews, often involving verbal questions and discussion. Asynchronous interviews, sometimes referred to as one-way video interviews, typically involve candidates responding to prompts on video within a specified timeframe.

The advantages of videohaastattelu include increased flexibility, reduced travel costs, and the ability to reach a wider pool of candidates. It can also offer a more personal connection than a phone interview. However, potential drawbacks can include technical issues such as poor internet connection or audio/visual problems, and the challenge of interpreting non-verbal cues remotely. Employers often use video interviews as an initial screening tool or as a primary method for later-stage interviews, depending on their hiring process. Preparation for a videohaastattelu involves ensuring a stable internet connection, a quiet environment, and testing the video and audio equipment beforehand.
