There\u2019s a new normal in the hiring process too- <a href=\"https:\/\/recooty.com\/blog\/level-up-your-remote-hiring-game-with-recooty\/\">hiring has gone remote too<\/a>. While most of the part of the hiring process can be handled remotely, all thanks to technology, remote interviews can be challenging. But worry not, we got you!

Just as you would do with a physical interview, prepare a blueprint of how you want the course of the interview to be. Assess each candidate beforehand and draft a set of questions accordingly. Jot down reminders. Everything should be pre-planned and be prepared for anything. You can also have a notepad ready during the interview to note down the important details or frame a question then and there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a3e7ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a3e7ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Select your isolated space<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faaf3d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"faaf3d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the major factors that make remote interviews challenging is the fact that they are remote. Since you\u2019re at home, there will be many external factors that might create disturbances during the interview. So the next step is to find an isolated corner in your home. You can also create an office space where you won\u2019t be interrupted by anyone or anything.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-582f2e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"582f2e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Use the right platform<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b22bdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b22bdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Remote interviews usually involve phone and video interviews as the primary channel of communication. You can rely on audio calls for the initial pre-screening process but a video call is necessary for the main interview. There are a number of platforms available on the internet through which you can smoothly conduct your interview. Primarily, platforms like Google meet, Zoom, WebEx is the most preferred currently. However, you may need to test run and explore each one of them to find the one you\u2019re most comfortable using.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b6ff6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b6ff6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Have the right set-up<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32ee22f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32ee22f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In a remote interview, you need to make sure you are perfectly visible and audible. Also, you should hear and see the candidate clearly. That\u2019s why you need to have a perfect setup to conduct a smooth interview. So, make sure you have a good quality headset with a microphone and a decent video camera with your personal computer. Along with the pieces of equipment, you also need to have a stable and high-speed internet connection. Make sure that you convey the message of having the right set-up to your candidate as well.

Give the candidates a clear idea of what and how they are supposed to prepare. It\u2019s important that you let the candidate know about the whole process of the interview and the people involved in it. You can draft all this information in a detailed introductory email or make pre-screening calls<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28f10e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"28f10e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Think about the remote interview dos and don\u2019ts<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3329b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3329b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Remote interviews are a lot different than face-to-face interviews. Due to a lack of physical appearance, establishing a connection can be tough. It is very important to show all the candidates that just because it is a remote interview, it\u2019s not less professional. So, you need to analyze the situation and make a detailed list of dos and don\u2019ts that you must follow. The elements of this list may be different for different candidates.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-901cd36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"901cd36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keep your focus and be an attentive listener<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f95aae6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f95aae6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s harder to focus on and listen to the candidate over a video call. During a face-to-face interview, you can demonstrate active listening by making eye contact or maybe nodding your head. Body language carries depth and gives greater meaning to the words we are saying. However, during a remote interview, this may be difficult to pursue. So, during a remote interview, you need to pay a little extra attention to your listening skills. Try to make the interview as comfortable as possible. Treat it as if you are conducting an in-person interview.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8a1726 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8a1726\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Introduce your company culture<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc65d88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc65d88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In in-person interviews, candidates get to share the company\u2019s culture first-hand. With the remote hiring and remote work, your candidates might not get a chance to see your workspace or meet your team. So you need to make sure they don\u2019t miss out on knowing all about you and your company\u2019s culture. You can give them background information about your company, a little detail about the CEOs as well as your teammates.

So, the right way to make an accurate comparison between them is by asking them the right questions. You need to prepare a list of questions that can give you a proper insight into the candidate\u2019s preferences. Your list should encapsulate questions based on analyzing the Cultural-fit, communication skills, personality, leadership skills, analytical skills, and critical thinking.
