Willo Video Interviewing Pros and Cons

The most helpful part of Willo is being able to learn morea about candidates in less time. I have a quicker turnaround time and am able to get candidates through our process more efficiently. It was easy to add into our interviewing process and onboarding took only a couple of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides to using Willo are some of the limits around scorecards, and some details you can't change. I understand not changing questions, but I wish I could make a better fitting scorecard now that I understand more of what I am looking for in candidates without staring a whole new interview.

We have multiple locations and have a consistent need for recruitment efforts. Utilizing Willo has allowed for an equitable expereince for all candidates across our footprint, improved oversight into initial interviews and provided our Store Managers with additional time to focus elsewhere. The platform itself is easy to use and set up and the team at Willo have been an excellent support. We are using the program daily and have been pleased with how this has improved our workflow.

Simply due to the one-sided nature of this initial interview, we have recognized a diminished "human connection" with our candidates. However, we are combatting that by ensuring personal follow ups. One minor feedback is when editing an interview, you must click through each page as opposed to simply selecting the page that requires the edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is VERY user friendly, which is great for our recruiters and candidates to work through. Recruiters can focus on their day-to-day duties, and the candidates have the opportunity to interview at a time that works best for them. This has shown great success for us so far!

So far, I don’t have any dislikes! The platform is very user friendly, and the Representatives (especially Woody!) have all been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about Willo Video Interviewing is how easy it is to use and the flexibility it offers. Candidates can record their answers whenever it works for them, which makes the interview process way more relaxed and less stressful. It can cut down on the usual back-and-forth that occurres when scheduling interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don’t like about Willo Video Interviewing is that it can feel a bit impersonal since there’s no live interaction. If the internet connection is weak, the video quality can drop, making it tougher for candidates to show their best side. Also, not having real-time feedback might leave candidates feeling unsure about how they’re doing. And candidates that are not as tech-savvy, could use clear tutorials.

It saves our managers time in the interviewing process and it is super user friendly! It was so easy to set-up, and Faith, our rep, has been fantastic with any issues we may have which has been few and far between. It is part of my daily routine and is so easy to use. Our managers have loved the addition of this to our interviewing process and it was very easy for them to learn the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could default the phone number to the US so I don't have to do the dropdown every time, and for US customers to have the date in MM/DD/YY format as it always throws me off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This allows me to get insight on body language, social awareness, and level of interest in the job that I was not able to obtain through a simple phone interview. It also frees up hours that use to be blocked off on my calendar for interviews that now can fit into a quick review a few times a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to go back into an interview that I have created and add more questions if I relize something is missing without needing to create a whole new interview guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Willo as part of an internship recruiting efforts and it had all the features we needed to have a great experience and to offer our candidates a great interviewing experience. I love all of the options that the platform offers, such as sending text and email reminders about the interview. Scorecards that multiple individuals can use to rate candidates. The ability to share single video interviews with individuals who don't have access to the platform. The ability to use a 2x speed on the interview. The list goes on!

We use it a little differently than it was intended to be used, but boy are the interviews so wonderful for us to share with our team in finding new members for our organization! The way that we can share instantly and simply through the Zapier integration is clutch! If you are looking for an interview platform solution for your company look, look no further, they are the best in the business!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it doesn't work on the desktop version of Safari but does on the mobile is vexing!. I'd prefer it to be cheaper but it is worth the investment too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we have had a positive experience with using Willo for our hiring needs! It is timely, and love the fact that Willo will auto send text and emails for us. It is a great way to complete mass hiring with a limited number of recruiters. It is user-friendly and easy to navigate, as well as easy to set up. I feel supported with my account Manager as well.

Because it is international, it will not send SMS without a country code- this has caused some hiccups. Would also love to see the option of allowing the candidate to select video OR audio option, based upon their preference. Though it is rare, we've had a few responses where the audio is faint, digital or did not properly download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
