Why Momentum started making use of one-way video interviews
Before insurance company Momentum started making use of Wamly’s one-way video interview software, it completed a company-wide review of its recruitment process.
The review found three major themes within the company:
- Many candidates weren’t always sure what Momentum is or what it does. There wasn’t a story or narrative about the company and what it seeks to achieve.
- The recruitment process for candidates wasn’t great with many waiting days to get any response from the company.
- There was a need to digitise the process for record-keeping and efficiency purposes.
After the review, Momentum changed the entire process they used to hire by firstly making use of a technology portal to get all the applications and CVs.
Once the applications were received, instead of phoning candidates or meeting them on zoom, they started making use of Wamly’s one-way video interview software.
The final candidates who came through that process would then be invited for face-to-face interviews and psychometric testing before making a hire.
Using Wamly, Momentum was able to brand the entire experience – telling potential employees a story of the company’s culture and values and thereby building brand awareness.
