Asynchronous Video Interviews: How to Optimize HR Team Time

Learn how asynchronous interviews save recruiter time, streamline candidate evaluation, and improve consistency across hiring.

Introduction

Scheduling interviews often slows down the hiring process. Asynchronous video interviews offer a flexible, scalable alternative—allowing candidates to record answers and recruiters to review them anytime.

1. What is an asynchronous interview?

It’s a video interview where candidates respond to pre-set questions on their own time. Recruiters then review the videos at their convenience—no need for real-time meetings.

2. Benefits for HR teams

  • Eliminate scheduling conflicts

  • Standardize the screening process

  • Reduce time-per-candidate

  • Enable collaborative evaluations

VanillaHR includes asynchronous interviews directly within the ATS platform.

3. A better experience for candidates

Candidates can record responses in a comfortable setting, reducing pressure and enabling them to show their best selves.

4. More fairness, better comparison

Everyone answers the same questions, under the same conditions, improving objectivity and reducing bias.

5. Fully integrated into your hiring flow

With ATS integration and AI tools, you can automate scoring, tag top talent, and move faster.
