How much does it cost your company to interview a potential candidate? If you pay for their hotel, airfare, and transportation; you could be looking at upwards of $5,000 per individual. That’s a steep cost, and some companies are probably looking for a change.

That change could come from Async Interview. Developed by Christopher Young and partner Ehud Israel, Async Interview is a video interview technology, which allows employers to meet face-to-face with potential employees.

“By reducing the expense to hire candidates and making the interview process easier to manage, we want to help companies hire candidates and improve their bottom line while helping the economy at the same time,” says Young.

Human Resources industry expert and President of HCM Freelancer, Sarah White agrees. “Video interviewing presents a unique opportunity to save travel and interview costs while making the candidate selection process more consistent,” says White. “By recording interviews, hiring managers are able to evaluate each candidate side by side without the uncomfortableness of a group interview with multiple candidates.”
