What is a video interview?

A video interview is when a job interview is performed virtually (or remotely) and uses video conferencing tools to support the interview. Video interviews consist of the same interview questions as an in-person interview and often times are recorded to ensure legality.  Video interviews are used when companies are hiring for remote workforce positions or as a matter of convenience for both candidates and hiring teams as they are easier and faster to facilitate and deliver. Video interviews can be delivered in two ways, live where candidates are talking to hiring managers in real time or asynchronously (or async) when questions from the employer are recorded for candidates and candidates record a response in return.
