I can\u2019t speak to the efficacy that games would have in predicting behavior attributes, although I admit to being skeptical. What I can speak to, however, are one-way video interviews.<\/p>\n<p>In short: They\u2019re awful. Companies really like them because, instead of spending\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vault.com\/blog\/interviewing\/5-tips-for-nailing-a-phone-screen\/\">30 minutes on the phone<\/a>\u00a0with every potential candidate, the candidates submit their pre-recorded interviews on a rolling basis to be watching at the hiring managers\u2019 convenience. The format they take for the candidate, however, is an anxiety-inducing nightmare. There is no person on the other end of the line on a one-way video interview\u2014I know, right? So it\u2019s less like an interview and more like a virtual, visual questionnaire. You\u2019re given a question, given a set time to think about the question (approximately 30 to 60 seconds), and then your camera turns on and you answer. Within a strict time limit (approximately one minute). Oftentimes, with only one take. I\u2019ll reiterate: One-way video interviews are\u00a0<em>awful<\/em>. But you better get used to them, because they\u2019re here to stay. Luckily, I\u2019ve got some tips to making sure that you make it through in one piece.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Find out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vault.com\/blog\/interviewing\/3-tips-for-surviving-a-one-way-video-interview\/?utm_source=UndergradNewsletter,&amp;utm_medium=Newsletter,email&amp;utm_campaign=03_25_2019_UG,104224&amp;referer_ID=7778\">more!<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3><em><strong>Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vault.com\/\">Vault!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burgeoning bankers beware\u2014recruiting techniques continue to shift towards the electronic.
