One-way interview or automated interview is a method for the recruiter to assess the candidate without actually spending hours interviewing them. Real-time interviews require either the interviewer or candidate to travel and spend a significant amount of time. On the other hand, an automated interview allows the recruiter to send a set of questions to the candidate and allows the candidate to answer and send them back at their own comfort.

The number one interview scheduling challenge for Recruiters and HR professionals is finding a time that works for everyone. In One-Way Video Interviews, questions can be more straightforward, and more data about the candidate can be shared. In this configuration, it is a lot simpler for the recruiter to ask some extra questions to get a better understanding and to check the precision of the responses. Another additional advantage is that the outcomes are not reliant on other candidates or the environment.
