It is an interview session in which the candidate and interviewers are located in different locations. With the help of digital tools like video calls and audio calls, the interviewer can successfully conduct an interview with a candidate located in another city. This concept was commonly known in India after the COVID-19 pandemic, as physical meetings were not permitted then. This process minimises time, effort, and cost for employers as it is the easy and quick process of taking an interview that does not require a specific area for taking the interview.
Factors that you must consider while taking a remote interview
- Have a backup plan
- Dress like professional
- Pay attention to the body language of the candidate
- Check equipment like network and clarity of video and voice
- Eliminate using technologies that can create glitches
- Avoid using distractions like phones while attending an interview
