RecruitLoop Wins Award for ‘Best Use of Technology’

One year after launching its unique online recruitment marketplace and video interview platform, RecruitLoop (www.recruitloop.com.au), has won the Award for ‘Best Use of Technology’ at the 2012 ActionCOACH MyBusiness Awards.

Recorded video interviews are a powerful tool built into RecruitLoop’s offering to clients. It’s not a ‘live’ video-capability like Skype, but an automated one that records candidate responses to customised written questions, via their webcam.

“We see video interviews as a game-changing innovation in the recruitment process”, explains Michael Overell, RecruitLoop Co-Founder and CEO. “We believe video will become a standard part of the recruitment process in the future and as such it’s an important feature in our model”.

The ‘Best Use of Technology’ Award was one of eight awards presented recognising the contribution and innovation of Australian small and medium size businesses.

“It’s always been our objective to not only have the best technology for recruiters to use. But more importantly to develop technology that will really help SME businesses, by providing them with a more efficient screening tool”, says Denis Zubkov, RecruitLoop Co-Founder and Head of Product.

RecruitLoop developed this custom technology to help employers and hiring managers save hours screening candidates and the video interviews are most commonly used in the candidate screening process to replace first-round interviews.

“There is no need to download any software - the full process occurs within the web browser. In just three clicks, a recruiter or hiring manager can create a candidate profile, upload a bespoke video interview questionnaire, and invite a candidate to take part in a video interview”, concludes Overell.

RecruitLoop gives employers a smarter way to hire with 80% cost savings: an online marketplace of experienced recruiters charging an hourly rate, and an online video interview platform.
