As coronavirus health concerns continue to grow; we want to let you know our recruitment services continue to operate normally.
We are embracing the digital transformation in every stage of our recruitment process, one of the main steps consists of the first interview powered by the Hinterview platform; this allows us to showcase our candidates through the creation of high-quality videos.
How does video-interview work on EllisKnight International Recruitment workflow?
Video provides a unique opportunity to break the ice in first-time correspondence by injecting personality into candidate introductions. Our consultants aim to make sure the recruitment process is as high-quality and as agile as possible to meet the candidates, and client needs.
The EllisKnight recruitment process consists of five steps:
1. Phone call: Get to know you.
2. Information email.
3. Hinterview - Video interview with EK recruiter.
4. Interview with the company. This step usually is face to face; however, this will be held via video call. During this stage, we will send you an email with detailed instructions of how you will connect with the employer.
5. Feedback.

If the vacancy is the right fit for you, your recruiter will invite you to book a video interview. You will receive an email with the date, time, job description and a link to join the meeting.
