HealthcareSource launches Interview Manager^SM powered by HireVue. Partnership helps healthcare providers prepare to meet oncoming hiring boom with recorded and live video interviews that streamline hiring logistics, reduce costs and greatly speed time-to-hire.

WOBURN, Mass. and DRAPER, Utah, May 12, 2010 – HealthcareSource^®, the leading provider of talent management solutions for the healthcare industry,and HireVue, the number one provider of video interviewing solutions, today announced that they have formed a strategic partnership. HealthcareSource will become the exclusive reseller of HireVue to U.S. healthcare providers and will integrate the software into Position Manager®, its industry leading applicant-tracking solution used at over 1,000 hospitals. The solution will be marketed as HealthcareSource Interview Manager^SM powered by HireVue.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the healthcare industry will generate 3.2 million new wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018, more than any other industry, largely due to growth in the elderly population.

“While Healthcare remains at the top of the hiring market, healthcare providers have been forced to pull back in response to the recession,” said Peter Segall, CEO and President, HealthcareSource. “The demand is still there but the recruiting budgets are limited. However, with the economy showing positive growth, the healthcare reform bill adding millions of potential patients to the mix and no change in elderly population growth, the pressure is building for new ideas that reduce recruiting costs. Our customers are asking us for help. We knew this problem couldn’t be solved with traditional thinking, that’s why we turned to HireVue. They are changing the game and our customers will benefit with competitive recruiting advantages.”

HealthcareSource Interview Manager^SM powered by HireVue is a video job interview platform that allows employers to dramatically improve the interview process by using video interviews to create a historical record of the interview that can be reviewed at any time and compared against other candidates. Organizations can drastically cut time and cost from their recruiting processes while giving hiring teams deeper insight into candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. The result is improved candidate screening, reduced interview time, reduced recruiting travel expense, and more consistent, compliant and effective interviews.

“The bottom line for healthcare providers is that, combined with Position Manager, HireVue is ideally suited to help them deal with the pressures of talent management in today’s healthcare environment,” said HireVue CEO, Mark Newman. “HealthcareSource is a true innovator for talent management in healthcare. This partnership is proof that they not only hear their customers, but they are keeping pace with the changing face of talent management in this evolving space.”

The global online recruitment magazine “onrec,” featured HireVue in their analysis of virtual interviewing, “Virtual Interviewing – US Perspective.”

“New technology solutions allow employers to forego face-to-face interviews. But is virtual interviewing as good as being there? For clients of HireVue, a leader in interview solutions, the answer appears to be a resounding yes. As video and related technologies have become more pervasive, employers have become increasingly comfortable with adoption…”

The Wall Street Journal article, “How to Nail a Job Interview – By Video” emphasized the growth of video interviewing and tips for job seekers.

“These days, a job-seeker can land a job without ever setting foot inside the company’s office, thanks to video communication tools that connect employers with candidates over the Internet. Several people in the career and job-search industry say video interviewing using remote technology software is on the rise for a broad swatch of industries…”

The increasing industry adoption of video interviewing in general, and HireVue’s video interviewing and decision management solutions specifically, is becoming more and more obvious. Stay tuned as we announce incredibly talented recent hires at HireVue and the acquisition of some amazing new clients.

There’s a lot of buzz of late around using video interviews in the recruiting process. Sure, talking to candidates via webcam over the Internet provides a ton of cost savings. Plus it really helps shorten time-to-hire on the right candidates. But what happens once the interview is over? Nothing…unless you conducted the interview. What about the others on the hiring team who have input into the hire?

This is why having a platform that records your video job interviews is so valuable. It allows the hiring team to see the same thing as the interviewer and allows the hiring team to collaborate.

You know what is even cooler? REAL candidate comparison. At HireVue, we offer our 1-way Virtual Interviews in addition to 2-way Live Interviews. Our clients typically use the Virtual product after a phone screen, but before an interactive interview (over the Internet or face to face). The Virtual Interview is done on a broader set of candidates (approx 7-10) where all of the candidates answer the same set of questions, which are configured by our clients. When the candidate completes the Virtual Interview, it is available in HireVue for the hiring team to review.

This is where the “Killer App” of Video Interviewing lies. Let’s say there are a couple of key competencies or skills that are needed for a particular job opening. Our clients use the HireVue Virtual Interview to ask those questions. Because candidate’s responses are recorded, they can be easily compared using the comparison tools within HireVue. With one click, the reviewer can stay on that same question, but listen to each candidate’s answer. This is REAL candidate comparison and is almost impossible to replicate in normal interviewing cycles. Using HireVue’s Candidate Comparison and Evaluation tools allow the hiring team to get a deep perspective on candidates and really make it easier to decide which candidate should advance in the process.

This is exactly why HireVue exists today…and why companies that use video job interviews are so passionate about our offerings.

Below is an excerpt from a recent SHRM article discussing the adoption of Video Interviewing technology. HireVue is discussed prominently.

Melissa McMahon, senior director of talent acquisition for CDW, a technology services firm in Vernon Hills, Ill., knew something had to be done to reduce the time managers were committing to first-round evaluations of candidates.

That growing responsibility was eating into their bread and butter, which was developing strategy, selling product and coaching their sales teams.

“We were flying our top four or five candidates in for interviews, and it was literally taking a full day or more of our sales managers’ time,” McMahon says. Not only that, but each interview for new sales associates was ringing up close to $1,000 in candidate travel costs.

So McMahon turned to a solution that’s gained increased favor among human resource leaders-the one-way recorded video interview. Working with vendor HireVue, McMahon created a system where job candidates can log onto a web site and answer a series of prerecorded interview questions while speaking into a webcam. CDW sales managers later log on to the site, review the video interviews and determine which of the candidates to bring in for face-to-face interviews.

Webcam Interviews: How to Survive and Thrive

By: Patrick J. Kiger

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a strong resume and sterling qualifications could have easily landed you a face-to-face meeting with a hiring manager. Today, if your electronic resume passes muster with a company’s keyword search algorithm, you may find yourself trying to make a good impression not in person, but via Webcam from your living room.

Discouraged? Don’t be. With a few tricks drawn from the videographer’s trade, you’ll be armed with the tools you need to keep your foot firmly planted in the door.

Even before the downturn, recruiters had started using online video interviews as a way to speed up and systematize the hiring process. But what was once viewed as trendy gadgetry is now increasingly seen as a tool for slashing recruiters’ expenses.

Continue Reading on FastCompany.com…

A number of great companies were covered in the article, notably HIREVUE, Vault.com, YouTube, Jobster, 62ndview (get it, it took me a while – funny huh, from RecuitTV) and ResumeVideo. Supposedly they are all broadly launching this Spring!
Here’s the article – “It’s a Wrap. You’re Hired!”

Jason Goldberg blogged about it too.

The article was great (of course we would love to see a feature about how we are trying to take over the video interviewing world and have been doing it for a couple of years) and we look forward to more articles about the space, especially about video interviews.

One thing though that Lisa found and wrote about in her blog which we know already about video resumes:

As research for this article I just wrote on the rise of the video resume, I set out to create my own. When I started reporting, I had assumed there must be a whole cottage industry of videographers, makeup artists and editors making hey of this surging new trend. Sure enough, when I Googled it, I came up with dozens of companies offering their services.

But when I started calling, I found most were out of business.

One videographer who advertised video resume-making services on his website picked up the phone. Eric Wolfram started to laugh as soon as I explained my mission. He put his website up in 2004, he says. Since then, he’s had exactly no calls–that is, except for the five in the past few months, all from journalists wanting to do stories on video resumes

Thanks Lisa Cullen at TIME!! You’re a star in our book!!
