The key features of TalentVinton

Eight out of the top ten recruitment firms use Salesforce for their end-to-end recruitment operations. That’s surprising as Salesforce on its own isn’t an ATS. But there are many top-rated application-tracking systems that are available to install on the Salesforce platform. Salesforce partners like Bullhorn and TargetRecruit enable recruiting teams to manage jobs, candidates and often the onboarding experience too.

TalentVinton is our recruitment intelligence tool that complements these ATSs adding video interviewing + AI summaries directly against candidate records in Salesforce.

Let's take a high-level view of TalentVinton's main features.

TalentVinton enables both one-way (asynchronous) video interviews and live video interviews, applying interview insights to both.

One-way interviews are used as part of an application process, typically to enable the candidate to introduce themself. These short-format interviews help the recruiter evaluate how the candidate "performs" on video (a trait of growing importane for many customer-facing and internal roles alike).

Recruiters can create and manage one-way video interviews for easy screening of candidates natively in Salesforce. Recruiters set up question sets in TalentVinton. Then when the Candidate chooses to record their one-way interview, those questions appear on screen for each recording. Candidates can do practise tests, record and re-record if unhappy with the output, before submitting their interviews (which are saved in Salesforce). TalentVinton then compiles the individual question/answer videos into one, with bookmarks for each question.

What's important for the candidate experience is for the interviewing platform to work on any browser and any device as you simply don't know what technology your candidates will have access to.

For Live video interviews, using Zoom, Teams or Meet, recruiters and hiring managers hold video interviews with candidates and TalentVinton automatically records, transcribes and summarises them, adding all the information (including the recording itself) into the candidate record in Salesforce. Live video interviews are commonly part of most application journeys and need to be super-easy for candidates and recruiters.

From both one-way and live interviews, TalentVinton creates a summary to capture the key information and make it easy, quick, consistent and structured in the notes, directly in the Application and Candidate records. Additionally a follow-up email is drafted to streamline the post-interview candidate engagement, and next steps, if mentioned, are captured and assigned to the recruiter and the candidate.

TalentVinton is the version of Vinton dedicated to recruitment, so insights are generated for every interview or call, enabling managers to identify areas of improvement for team growth. Expected as part of managing recruitment operations is the extraction of key qualitative and quantitative performance indicators for improvement, training and coaching. Data such as the ratio of time spent speaking/listening for the recruiter is crucial, as well as the longest monologue, key topic discussed by % of time and more.

Using audio notes, TalentVinton captures the value-added opinion from the recruiter who summarises their thoughts on the Candidate profile, highlighting why they believe the candidate is relevant for the position, covering strengths and weaknesses and other thoughts for the hiring manager’s consideration. Audio notes replace the need to type up interview notes and feedback, but perhaps importantly carries the emotion from the voice update, giving a very real feeling to hiring managers of the recruiter’s opinion.

Once a candidate’s full profile and interviews are captured in the Salesforce ATS, TalentVinton makes it easy to share recordings with external hiring managers/clients.

Recruiters record an audio note to accompany a candidate's profile, alongside all the other elements collected for the candidate i.e. their CV and interview video(s). This entire profile can be shared with external stakeholders (e.g. a hiring manager at a recruiter's client company) and TalentVinton collects their feedback on the same page and the feedback is automatically added back into Salesforce against the Candidate records.

TalentVinton improves team productivity, ensures concise and consistent interview summaries, all stored in your system of record - Salesforce.
