Outsourcing Interview Processes

  1. Types of Outsourced Interviews

    Companies frequently outsource initial screening calls (phone interviews) and video interviews to effectively narrow the candidate pool. This frees up internal staff to focus on later stages. Outsourcing also extends to more in-depth assessments.

  2. Behavioral and Situational Assessments

    Outsourcing firms utilize established methods to assess candidates’ past performance and predict future success. They analyze how candidates have handled past challenges to gauge their problem-solving abilities and suitability.

  3. Specialized Skill Evaluation

    In-depth interviews, often involving subject matter experts, are outsourced for roles requiring specialized knowledge (e.g., coding, data science). This ensures candidates possess the necessary technical proficiency. The experts evaluate candidates’ in-depth knowledge.

  4. High-Pressure Interview Formats

    Stress interviews, designed to assess performance under pressure, can also be outsourced. External experts conduct these interviews to assess candidates’ ability to handle difficult situations, and their responses are evaluated for strength and composure.

  5. Group and Panel Interview Methods

    Group interviews allow for observing collaboration and communication skills, while panel interviews utilize multiple interviewers, who are specialists in the field, to provide a thorough assessment and collective judgment. These methods are also outsourced to increase efficiency and reduce bias.
