How have our new video interviews landed?

Evolving the process of fitness industry jobs

We’ve all had to make adaptations this year. Friends have become faces on a screen, masks have become the new fashion attire and the office has become sitting at the kitchen table in your pants! Some of these changes have been welcomed (the pants), others we can’t wait to see the back of (I need a pint). One thing for sure that the way we do business has changed, perhaps for good.

We firmly believe that our video service helping candidates land their dream fitness job is one of those that is here to stay. We have seen some fantastic results, had awesome feedback and have had fantastic fun connecting with our candidates in a more intimate way.

We have seen this positively impact both clients and candidates alike. So how has this landed and what have we learnt?

Clients:

We have had a really strong response from our clients who have praised, critiqued and ultimately helped us shape a fantastic process. The video interview gives a freshness and an insight that a CV or a brief just couldn’t do.

It allows the client to get an understanding of the background, personality and cultural fit of the candidate before even getting in to interview stage. The process can be adaptable depending on requirements and can be as in-depth or brief as they wish.

One of the most important elements, it saves time – and meaning they can fill gym jobs faster!  We have had many clients use these as their first stage interview, saving precious time in the interview process and seeing only candidates that are the perfect fit. This process has become imbedded with our clients and we are excited for this to improve in the future.

Candidates:

The introduction of the video interview has been wonderful for our candidate relations and helping them toward their dream fitness industry job. We have been lucky enough to spend time with some awesome people and have had great fun connecting with them too. Feedback from candidates has been great. It has allowed them to bring their story to life, showcase their skills and put their best foot forward with their applications. They can also go into an interview setting knowing they have impressed and can draw on that confidence in the face-to-face stage. They have loved this evolution towards their career in fitness!
