Your Time Matters—Hire Smarter with Video Interviews

Save Time, Hire Smarter: How SkillzPage’s Video Interviews Streamline Your Recruitment Process

As an HR Manager or Executive, time is your most valuable resource. With 50 CVs on your desk, but capacity to realistically interview only 1–2 candidates per day, the maths simply doesn’t work. You're either rushing through interviews and missing great candidates, or you’re spending weeks on hiring while critical roles remain open.

Between meetings, compliance, reports, and team oversight, finding time to interview multiple candidates—many of whom may not be a fit—is a recurring challenge.

At SkillzPage, we’ve been recruiting IT, Engineering, and Finance professionals for local and global organisations for almost 20 years. We’ve seen the same issue across HR teams: you need more time, more insight, and more quality candidates—without slowing down the hiring process.

That’s why we developed our Video Interview Service—a smarter, more efficient way to manage first-round interviews without sacrificing candidate quality.

 And the best part?

• No upfront fees
• No subscriptions
• 100% POPI compliant
• Included in our standard recruitment rate

The Reality: Traditional Interviews Don’t Scale

Even the most organised HR teams typically manage no more than two live interviews per day. Add prep time, debriefs, and sitting through unsuitable interviews out of courtesy, and it can take weeks to assess just 10–15 candidates.

Worse still, up to 70% of shortlisted CVs turn out to be mismatches in the first five minutes of an interview—wasting your time and slowing down your hiring momentum.

What Makes SkillzPage Video Interviews Different?

We don’t just send CVs—we bring each candidate to life with a spontaneous, pre-recorded video interview designed to mirror your own first-round interview.

Here’s how it works:

• Pre- Screening Done for You

Our consultants conduct thorough initial screenings to filter out unsuitable candidates before they reach your consideration. This isn't a 5-minute phone call—it's a comprehensive assessment that eliminates candidates who don't meet your basic requirements.

• We conduct the Interview You Would Have Done

Using the exact interview questions you’d typically ask during your first interview, we record a live-style video interview. Candidates don’t see the questions beforehand, so you get authentic, unscripted responses.

This captures real-time thinking, communication ability, and professional presentation—exactly what you'd assess in a face-to-face meeting.

• You Receive a Full Candidate Pack

For each shortlisted candidate, you get:

• • Comprehensive CV with all relevant details
  • Complete video interview showcasing responses to your selected questions you can watch at your convenience.
  • Real assessment of communication skills, presentation abilities, and listening skills
  • Visual evaluation of professional presentation and demeanour
  • The ability to watch, pause, or skip interviews at your convenience
  • Accelerated recruitment cycles that reduce time-to-hire significantly
  • Reclaimed time to focus on strategic HR initiatives and core business priorities
  • Expanded candidate pool with access to more quality options than traditional methods allow
  • Easy sharing with stakeholders and hiring managers

What You Learn from a Video Interview

Reading a CV only tells part of the story. Video interviews let you assess:

• Communication and articulation skills
• Listening and engagement
• Presentation and professionalism
• Confidence, tone, and cultural fit
• And because the interview questions are tailored to your role, you’re able to evaluate each candidate’s responses in direct relation to what matters most to your business.

Because you select the questions, you can quickly assess whether the candidate is truly suited to the role. You know what a good answer sounds like—now, see and hear it for yourself.
