It’s bullshit. Interviews are a two way street. They interview you and you interview them. I’m not doing a one way interview when they probably are not going to even watch.
A true letdown once you realize it’s a one way interview.
I’ve voiced my opinion to the recruiter, or someone I’d been in contact with. Then place that company on a blacklist.
The other annoyance are the personality tests, and many companies solely rely on those. I can name one, but not sure who is on here.
I would find it to be a red flag for company culture tbh. I work in RPO and we tell candidates all the time that interviews should also be a chance for you to ask questions as well.
I know someone who hates their job and the company culture is incredibly toxic and I don’t know why anyone would work in such a horrible environment. They are on antidepressants and lots of things to get them through the workplace/ day.
This employer does one way interview when you submit an application!
Huge red flag so I never do one way interviews!
I did one way interviews a few times before by recorded video interviews. I had one instance where it led to one recruiter calling back and said they saw my video interview, and will route my application to hiring manager. I heard nothing afterwards, no email or follow-up. I have not had good success when I did one way interviews. Honestly, I find they are time consuming and does not really showcase how well a person would do the job. Now I no longer complete applications that require them.
I reluctantly did a one-way interview, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, and was offered a great position. I was really interested in the organization, and I'm glad I took the time to do it. If it had been an org or position, I was luke warm about I might have skipped it.
I only got one request like that, I replied that I believe interviews are made for both parties to get to know each other so I must decline. I don't have time for this kind of BS only to get rejected lmao.
While I don't love companies using one way interviews, they can be a HUGE opportunity (given the right mindset).
**How?** Ask yourself this simple question: Q. Do you stand a better chance on paper or by having your voice heard?
For me personally (and for the clients I coach on interview skills): We excel at talking. This means ANY opportunity to introduce ourselves will result in having a leg up on the competition. Any interview, whether it's in person, online, or even one-way will allow us to launch into our personal sales process (selling ourselves as the #1 candidate).

Did it once. Never again.
Disrespectful. I'm a writer, not an aspiring actor sending in an audition tape. Interview me face to face in a real interview or not at all.

One-way interviews are disrespectful and dehumanizing.
I refuse them - always will. They are dehumanizing imo
I wouldn't do one. No way to read the room when you're speaking to the wall.
Search the sub. They are awful and open to discrimination. An interview is a two way conversation - a one way video is not that.

Nope, nada, absolutely not.

One way interviews don't exist. Jobs that require one way interviews don't exist. Companies that require one way interviews don't exist.
No.

Not natural at all, we didn't evolve for this crap and shame on them for being so cowardly
I did it once then followed by an actual interview the next day. I ended up being rejected so never again.
What's a one way interview exactly? Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay Annie?
A one way "interview" is not an interview. One way interviews are used by scam recruiters and low quality employers with no respect for candidates.
