A MANAGER'S VIEW

As a hiring manager, I know how tough it can be to interview candidates for your team. That’s why I created AskAway. I was fed up with all the frustration and wanted to build a tool that would save me time. And that’s exactly what we did.

MEET BEFORE YOU MEET

Watching a video of your candidate answering your pre-screening questions is super helpful. You get to see their nonverbal cues and know what to expect when you meet in person. No surprises = good.

BUILD A CONSISTENT INTERVIEW

Using the same questions for an interview is a good idea because it makes the evaluation process more fair and consistent, allows you to easily compare responses, and helps you focus on the content of the responses rather than coming up with new questions. This can give you a better understanding of the candidate’s thought process and how they approach problems, which can lead to more objective and informed hiring decisions.

VIDEO CLIPS ARE MUCH BETTER

Video clips are way better for interviews because they don’t rely on the internet. Even if you have a sketchy connection, the video will still be recorded and available for review. And you don’t have to worry about data loss or other technical issues. Using video clips makes the whole process smoother and easier, so you can focus on getting to know the candidate.

NOTES FOR ALL QUESTIONS

Taking notes and scores after watching a video clip helps you evaluate candidates objectively and systematically. It allows you to identify strengths and weaknesses, compare candidates, and make informed hiring decisions. Notes also provide an audit trail and can be useful for reference or sharing with team members.

NEED PANELISTS?

Adding panel members to your interview is very simple, just enter their email at the time you create your interview, and they will be invited to review the clips after the interview is completed.

COMPARE CANDIDATES

Summarize all interview information in one single grid where you can see which candidate performed the best based on scores.  Need to remember how a candidate answer the question?  Just click on the play button where the candidate and question meet.  Yes, it is that simple.

RATE THE ANSWERS

Give an immediate feedback of your impression on how the candidate answered each question.  These ratings will help you decide which candidate is the best.

SECOND OPINION?

Sometimes we need a second opinion on a candidate –or candidates.  Maybe they are a better fit for other team, so why not just share the interview with other managers?  No need for yet another interview.

SOUNDS GOOD, BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?
