Why We Built Audio Interview: Easing the Hiring Journey

Navigating the traditional hiring process can be a daunting task.

This led us to create Audio Interview, a tool designed to simplify and enhance the hiring journey.

Audio Interview allows you to send out interview questions and receive audio responses at the candidates’ convenience, eliminating the need for rigid scheduling. This approach not only saves valuable time for HR teams but also provides a more flexible and considerate experience for candidates. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the inspiration behind Audio Interview, explore its key features, and demonstrate how it can transform your hiring process. Join us as we share our journey and show you how Audio Interview can help you find the best talent without the usual stress and complications.

The Inspiration

While running our own company, we faced numerous challenges during our own hiring processes. We realized that the conventional methods were not only time-consuming but also lacked flexibility. Scheduling conflicts were common, and it was difficult to find a time that suited both the interviewers and the candidates. We saw a need for a tool that could offer more flexibility and efficiency, leading to the creation of Audio Interview.

Why We Chose Audio Instead of Video

In developing Audio Interview, we chose to focus on audio responses rather than video for several key reasons:

Simplicity and Accessibility: It is lightweight and simple to use, both for the interviewer and the candidate. There’s no need for high-speed internet or advanced technical setups, making it accessible to a wider range of users.

Reduced Stress for Candidates: Many candidates feel more comfortable and less self-conscious when responding to audio questions compared to video interviews. This allows them to focus on providing thoughtful and genuine responses without the added pressure of being on camera.

Time and Resource Efficiency: Audio files are easier to manage and review than video files. They require less storage space and bandwidth, ensuring that our platform remains fast and efficient.

Focus on Content: By removing the visual element, interviewers can concentrate on the substance of the candidates’ responses, leading to more objective evaluations based on the quality of their answers rather than their appearance or background setting.

Our goal was to create a tool that is lightweight, simple enough, and easy to use, ensuring a smooth experience for both employers and candidates. Audio Interview achieves this by eliminating the complexities associated with video interviews while maintaining the depth and insight needed for effective hiring decisions.

How it Simplifies the Hiring Process

Eliminating Scheduling Conflicts: With asynchronous audio responses, there’s no need to find a mutually convenient time for interviews. Candidates can respond at their convenience, and interviewers can review responses when it suits them.

Providing Flexibility for Candidates and Employers: Our platform offers flexibility for both parties, making it easier to fit interviews into busy schedules. This is particularly beneficial for candidates who may be currently employed or have other commitments.
