How to nail a remote job interview?

Do the prep work substantially
The preparation includes studying well the candidate’s profile (and not just from CV, but socials’ pages) and scripting questions, figuring out how to specify gaps in employment history. The necessary technology should be lined up and tested beforehand.

Remind the candidate about your interview
For example, you can send a message 30-60 minutes before the start.
Put an interviewee at ease from the start
Give a candidate a rundown on your team’s expectations and the names of interviewers. The first-round, in-person interview lasts up to 45-60 minutes - be sure to announce the timeline.

Set transparent and consistent communication
Transparency means making all things crystal clear for a candidate at every step of the hiring process. Ask consistent questions. An interview scorecard will be helpful here to stay unbiased.

Give a company a decent introduction
To do it, a recruiter can tell a powerful story about the company’s mission and vision and how it all fits in with the person’s values. Extra visual material will be a plus.

Have a decent close
When a remote interview is winding down, tell a person what’s happening next and ask if there are any questions. Follow up your video talk with a thank-you letter and ask for feedback.

Prepare a backup plan
Things might go wrong online, and technology can let you down. Make sure you have the candidate’s email and a phone number at hand to finish the conversation. Also, in case of bandwidth during the video call, ask everyone to turn off video streaming.
