With $17 Million in New Investments, What’s Up WIth HireVue?
视频招聘是一个拥挤的空间，至少有几十个公司，提供视频面试服务，它会告诉你，网络视频面试的增长，而不是进入一个艰难的领域。事实上，任何人只要有一个摄像头（这是几乎每个人都这些天），可以装载Skype和免费进行现场面试。
HireVue, the video interviewing company, got $22 million the other day, a combination of $17 million in new investment and $5 million in an expansion of its credit. The announcement of the new funding says it will be focused on strategic investments in research and development, sales and marketing, client services, and global expansion. The $22 million, plus $6 million HireVue raised in two previous rounds, gives the 60-person company a big chunk of change. Exactly what it will be used for wasn t explained in the announcement, and when I asked, here s what I was sent: HireVue also plans to increase headcount in solution development, sales and marketing and customer success to maintain its position as the leader in the digital interviewing category. Kevin Marasco, HireVue s CMO, offered more detail in a conversation today. HireVue already has such global, blue-chip companies as Walmart, Starbucks, Conoco/Phillips, and Rio Tinto, so a logical step is to move into Europe and Asia/Pacific, he said, mentioning Australia, India, and China. HireVue, though, is quickly becoming more than a provider of virtual recruiting services. Its digital platform can be used and is by some of its clients to deliver company and branding videos to candidates. Some are already using the digital video capabilities for internal conferencing, and candidate onboarding. Marasco explained that other extensions of the application for training and leadership are likely. Video recruiting is a crowded space, with at least a couple dozen companies offering video interviewing services, which tells you that online video interviewing is growing, and not a tough field to enter. In fact, anyone with a webcam (and that s almost everyone these days) can load Skype and conduct a live interview for free. It wasn t that long ago that video interviews were reserved mostly for senior positions, and arranged by search firms through remote studios at business centers. Now, digital video is available to anyone with a computer, a tablet or, in some cases, a smartphone. What companies like HireVue, Green Job Interview, and InterviewStream bring is convenience, quality, and a slew of useful and handy features. The recession really spurred growth of this sector of the recruiting world, forcing employers to look at alternatives to expensive candidate travel. As hiring managers became comfortable with taking a first look via recorded interviews, they also came to appreciate they could do this at their convenience. Candidates, too, found the convenience a plus, allowing them to interview from home, on their schedule, without having to take time off from their current job. So popular has video interviewing (sometimes called virtual interviews) become that the Aberdeen Group found 42 percent of the 506 respondents to its survey use it in their recruiting process. Most use two-way video, much like you would if you Skype. However, a significant proportion use the kind of features that the digital interview firms offer. The most popular are one-way recorded interviews, in which a candidate responds to prerecorded questions. These can later be reviewed and scored by a hiring manager or team. Aberdeen also found that the use of video interviews is only to going to grow, which explains why HireVue plans to use some of its new investment to add to its sales and marketing team and expand globally. That much HireVue s CEO, David Bradford, declared in the announcement: Bringing in this diverse, world-class group of funding partners further validates the need for a solution like HireVue s and solidly fuels the company s aggressive plans to modernize recruiting and expand our services to a global job market. The partners involved in the $17 million Series C funding are: Investor Growth Capital, Granite Ventures, which led HireVue s previous round, Peterson Ventures, whic led HireVue s A round, and new investors Rose Park Advisors, and the law firm of Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati. What I was most curious was the R D. Some of the investment dollars, Marasco explained, will be used to fund improvements into the extended application areas. Other development will focus on improving mobile utility to make both interviewing and other uses easier on tablets and phones. Work is also being done on data collection and feedback scoring, as in the case when multiple reviewers rate job candidates. Is an IPO in HireVue s future? No, Marasco said, at least not anytime soon. We see this as a marathon, not a sprint, he said, though considering Bradford s performance at a recent gathering, the comparison of cross-country to downhill might be just as apt. 管理新知 您可能感兴趣的文章 杨冰：员工敬业度与组织效能调查 2017-11-22 HOW TO: Control Your Interview 2011-09-19 要化股权激励的“砒霜”为“蜜糖” 你至少得搞明白这四件事 2016-06-07 最近文章 TEST 2018年01月15日 嫖娼被抓不属无故旷工，公司解雇赔4万！（法院判决） 2018年01月15日 如何判断你是否具有HRBP胜任力？
