Video interviewing is slowly taking over as one of the go-tos for organizations interested in lowering recruitment costs and finding the best talent on the market.

視頻面試，已經漸漸成為了各大公司機構作為降低招募成本、招聘最佳員工的方式了。

The key for organizations and the HR professionals conducting or reviewing these video interviews is knowing what red flags to look for to separate the best job candidates from the rest of the field. Here are five things every interviewer should look out for during a video interview:

對于進行視頻面試或瀏覽視頻錄像的公司機構以及人力資源專家們，他們必須留意面試者的一些特別跡象，以便從眾多應聘者中找到最合適的人才。那么下面就為大家介紹5個特別跡象，每位面試官都應該在視頻面試的過程中加以關注。

1.Environment

1. 面試環境

Take in the environment. Is it well-prepared? Has the candidate removed pictures or posters from the wall so you don’t see them? Has he organized the area around him?

融入視頻面試的環境。觀察對方身邊的物品是否準備妥當?面試者是否已經把墻上的圖片或海報都拿掉了?他是否把身邊的區域都整理得當?

Candidates who choose not to tidy up their environments or who choose a busy environment with multiple distractions (roommates, television noise, phone ringing, etc.) are showing low levels of organization and an inability to conceptualize how small things such as these may play into the bigger picture of hireability.

如果你的面試者們，無法收拾整齊他們所在的面試環境，或他們選擇了一個充滿各種干擾的環境(比如與室友共處一室，電視機的噪音，電話鈴聲等等)，這些都意味著這名面試者的低水平整理能力，以及顯示了他在以小見大的情商是比較低的。

2.Rehearsed answers

2. 提前演練的回答

It’s good to watch out for canned responses during any type of interview. While they do show a (somewhat) admirable level of preparation, they keep interviewers from obtaining insight into how candidates think on their feet.

無論是何種類型的面試形式，觀察一下面試者是否采用“罐頭答案”也是很有必要的。沒錯，應試者們確實顯示了他們(有點)值得贊賞的準備，但也會使面試官們難以了解面試者的個人真實想法。

Since video interviewees can manipulate what’s seen on camera before starting the interview, it’s important to look out for cue cards, notebooks or other aids that might give candidates a leg up during the interview.

雖然面試者可以在視頻面試前控制好出現在鏡頭前的東西，但面試官們也要注意面試者是否準備了提示卡片，筆記本或其他能夠在面試過程中給予面試者提示的物件。

Good candidates will be polished. They will have done their research and prepared themselves for different topics. They won’t seem like they’re afraid to elaborate on a follow-up question, and when they’re asked a question they aren’t ready for, they’ll take a moment to gather their thoughts instead of getting agitated or flustered.

聰明的應聘者們懂得潤色自己。他們會做相關調查并為自己準備多個發言題材。他們不會給別人留下一個害怕解釋后續問題的印象，并且當他們被要求回答一個毫無準備的問題時，他們會花一點點時間整理自己的思緒而不是表現出坐立不安的樣子。

3.Body language

3. 肢體語言

In an in-person interview, both of these can be easy to spot, but video interviews are a little more nuanced. Keep an eye out for shifting eyes that never really rest on the camera. If a candidate continuously looks to the same spot in the room, take note. He or she could have someone assisting them.

在一場親臨現場參與的面試，以上兩種情況都很容易就能發現，不過視頻面試就有更細微的差別。多用眼睛掃視一下周邊的場景，這樣就不會只把視線停留在攝影機前了。如果應聘者總是把目光停留在同一個位置，那就把這種情況記錄下來。他/她的身邊可能有其他人在給提示。

4.Tech issues

4. 技術問題

If your candidate is in a public space with a poor connection or at home having connection problems, it shows the candidate didn’t take the time to check their connection before the interview started -- a sign of not being prepared. Sometimes connectivity issues arise that can’t be foreseen, so the key is to take these issues in stride and not disqualify a candidate without considering all the factors.

如果你的應聘者在一個網絡連接困難的公共環境，或在家里，但出現的網絡連接的問題，這就意味著，這位面試者在面試前沒有花點時間檢查網絡連接是否通暢——也就是說沒有準備充分。不過有時候出現網絡連接問題也是毫無預兆的，所以關鍵在于適應這種情況而不是忽略其他因素而直接取消這名面試者的資格。

5.Dress

5. 穿著

Every hiring manager has come into contact with a candidate that just didn’t get how important their attire was to making a good impression. Either their clothes were wrinkled, they weren’t dressed appropriately or what they had on just didn’t instill confidence. Either way, it was easy to tell they weren’t the right fit.

每位人事經理都會遇到這樣的面試者：他們沒有意識到著裝對于留下良好印象的重要性。他們的衣服要么皺巴巴，沒有穿著得當，要么穿著的衣服沒有突顯出自信。無論是哪種情況，答案都很簡單，就是他們都不是合適的人選。

When it comes to video interviewing, the signs aren’t so obvious. Make a point of focusing on the little things during a video interview. Look for wrinkles, stains or other telltale sartorial signs the candidate isn’t taking the interview seriously.

當這種情況出現在視頻面試時，這些跡象并沒有那么明顯。那就需要特別留意面試過程中的小細節。留意衣服是否起皺了，是否有污點，或其他顯示應聘者沒有認真對待面試的小痕跡。

Keeping an eye out for these five red flags can help companies separate the wheat from the chaff during the hiring process. Not only will they help weed out candidates who aren’t taking the process seriously, but these red flags will also help ensure organizations make the most out of every video interview.

想要從茫茫人海中篩選出最合適的人選，各公司都應該細心留意以上這5個小細節。不僅能夠幫助你把不合格的應聘者排除出去，而且還能保證公司在每次的視頻面試中得到最大的收獲。
