The Service: Managed Asynchronous Interviews
Recruitment agencies can build a discrete, valuable service around asynchronous video interviews. Rather than simply providing clients with a software login, the service involves managing the entire screening process. This provides a level of consistency and quality control that clients value, particularly when dealing with high volumes of applicants for a role. The agency acts as the operational layer, ensuring the right questions are asked and the resulting candidate submissions are organised effectively for client review.
For the end-client, the deliverable is a structured shortlist of candidates who have completed the initial video screening. This moves the process forward efficiently without the logistical challenges of scheduling numerous real-time calls. It allows hiring managers to review candidates at their convenience, with comparable, structured information. For the agency, this creates a productised service that complements existing retainers or can be sold as a standalone project for specific hiring campaigns, generating a predictable revenue stream.
How Introviews Delivers This Service
Introviews is the web application through which an agency can deliver this managed screening service. The platform is designed to support a clear workflow: an agency defines a set of interview questions with their client, invites candidates to respond to these questions via video at their own convenience, and then compiles the responses into a structured format for the client. The focus is on creating a consistent data set for comparison, not on automating the decision itself. Hiring decisions remain firmly with the people involved.
The software provides the framework for structuring the interview process. Your team uses the web application to set up each client's project, manage candidate invitations, and access the completed video submissions. The output is a clear, organised shortlist that can be presented to the client. This structured approach helps to standardise the first-pass screening stage, ensuring every candidate answers the same core questions and allowing hiring managers to make more informed choices about who to advance to the next stage.
Setup vs Ongoing Agency Management
Launching a managed video interview service involves two distinct phases of work. The initial setup phase is consultative. It involves working with your client to understand the role requirements, define the key screening criteria, and formulate a set of precise, effective questions. This initial investment in setup ensures the process gathers the right information from the outset. Your agency then configures the project within the Introviews application, establishing the foundation for the screening campaign.
Ongoing management constitutes the core of the service delivery. For each new role or batch of candidates, your team manages the process of inviting applicants to the platform and monitoring submission rates. Once interviews are complete, your team collates the video responses, organises them, and prepares the structured shortlist for the client. This operational management is the core of the service, removing the administrative burden from the client and ensuring the process runs smoothly and delivers a consistent, high-quality output every time.
Illustrative Service Package: Managed Candidate Screening
An agency could structure this offering as a monthly retainer or a per-role project fee. A typical service package would be defined by a clear scope of work, detailing the agency's responsibilities and the client's deliverables. This moves the conversation away from software features and towards a business outcome: a more efficient and consistent screening process. The agency's expertise in crafting questions and managing the workflow becomes the primary value proposition, supported by the Introviews platform.
For example, a service might include an initial consultation to define the screening framework, setup of the interview project for each specific role, management of candidate invitations and communications, and the final delivery of a structured shortlist report. This report would contain links to the video responses, organised for easy review by the client's hiring team. By productising the offering in this way, your agency can market, sell, and deliver a predictable service with clear boundaries and repeatable steps.
Availability and Integration
Introviews is a live product, available for agencies to build services for their clients. It is provided as a web application, requiring no complex installation on your or your client’s systems. Your agency team would access and manage the service through a secure login. This model allows for rapid deployment and focuses agency effort on service delivery rather than technical maintenance. The platform is built to support the workflow of screening candidates and presenting shortlists.
The software does not offer a standard reseller or white-label programme. Any agency branding or client-specific customisation of the user interface is a topic for individual discussion on a product-by-product basis and is not advertised as a standard feature. Introviews is designed to be used by the agency to deliver a managed service; it does not currently offer a developer API for integration into other software platforms. The primary route to using the software is through its dedicated web interface.
