Competencies with video

Assessment

What is it?

The Video Assessment is an innovative and engaging way to assess candidates' personalities and competencies through video-based questions. This method uses the Big Five Personality Model—Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism—as the framework for the questions, making it a powerful tool for evaluating the core traits that influence a candidate’s behavior and performance.

The assessment is delivered in a dynamic video format, where candidates respond to questions in a more interactive and personalized environment. Companies can feature their own employees in the videos to strengthen the connection with the candidate, creating a more authentic experience. The video assessment can be sent in multiple languages, making it accessible to a global candidate pool. By using this method, organizations gain deeper insights into candidates' personality traits, capturing both verbal and non-verbal cues to better understand their suitability for the role and company culture.

Measurement Objectives

The Video Assessment evaluates candidates through the lens of the Big Five Personality Model, focusing on:

  • Openness to Experience: How well a candidate embraces creativity, curiosity, and innovation.
  • Conscientiousness: A measure of responsibility, attention to detail, and organizational skills.
  • Extraversion: The candidate’s sociability, energy, and assertiveness in social interactions.
  • Agreeableness: The ability to cooperate, empathize, and work well with others.
  • Emotional Stability (Neuroticism): How well the candidate manages stress, pressure, and emotional responses in various situations.

By assessing these core personality traits, the video format offers a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how a candidate might perform in a real-world working environment.

Use

The Video Assessment is versatile across industries and ideal for roles requiring interpersonal skills, leadership, and adaptability. Built around the Big Five Personality Model, it provides an in-depth look at candidates' personality traits. Featuring company employees in the videos personalizes the experience, helping candidates envision themselves within the organization. The multi-language support also makes it suitable for global hiring. This assessment is effective in early-stage recruitment or for internal promotions where cultural fit is crucial.

Results

The Video Assessment results reveal insights into Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability. Rather than just scores, it highlights each candidate's strengths and development areas. Employers can review video responses to understand how candidates demonstrate these traits, supporting informed, data-driven decisions to select candidates who are both technically skilled and a cultural fit.

Development

The Video Assessment enhances the recruitment experience by using video questions based on the Big Five Personality Model. This format captures how candidates communicate and interact, offering deeper insights than written answers. Companies can customize the videos to reflect their brand, values, and job-specific needs, while the multi-language capability ensures relevance across regions. This engaging, interactive format provides an authentic view of candidates' personalities and competencies.
