Talent Selection Reimagined for Tech-Oriented Hiring Officers

The HR landscape in Dubai and throughout the Middle East is changing rapidly than ever before. The senior HR leaders and CHROs not only inquire about the means of hiring faster but also the ways of hiring smarter, more ethically, and for a longer time to be suitable. An AI-Structured Video Interview is the answer, which is the place where automation, data, and human expertise come together to give the hiring process that is needed by modern enterprises.  

What Is an AI-Structured Video Interview?

An AI-Structured Video Interview goes beyond a simple video call. It is a platform that automates the generation of questions, scoring, scheduling, and candidate assessment. With the help of AI, interviews can be structured in detail around the clients hiring goals: technical, behavioural, and long-term culture blend. So, every candidate gets a plan that is tailored to the job, and every panellist receives real-time help for a fair and targeted evaluation.

  • VISTA Framework:

The more you get into the candidate's Vision, Interest, Salary expectations, Technology capabilities, and Availability, the more you get the context for the decision that you should make.
