How much does a video conference interview cost?

The costs of a video conference interview comprise of:
1. Room hire per hour, this varies with the location and whether the interview is in or out of office hours
2. Scheduling fee - £35/$70 per meeting

Here are some examples of meetings we have arranged.

Example 1
A company had a vacancy for a high level position. The best suited candidate lives in Australia. Eyenetwork booked a video conference facility iin Perth for a 1 hour interview. The total cost was just £145.

Example 2
A major accounting firm wanted to headhunt a woman in Japan. We were able to find a video conference bureau within 5 minutes walk of her office in Tokyo. She had the interview during a lunch break and was offered the position. The total cost was £195.

Example 3
A company has a vacancy for a high level position.. The best candidates are around the globe so the Senior Executive decide to conduct a series of video conference interviews and wants to limit the expense by spending only 1 day interviewing. There are 6 people who are highly suitable.

The recruitment consultant contacts Eyenetwork and together we arrange all 7 interviews within UK office hours thus:

Each video conference interview last 45 minutes and the interview panel have a 15 minute break in between to assess and make notes.

As the UK company has its own equipment the total cost of the video conference was: £1,005.

Two candidates were called for a second interview – costing a total of £300.

The client was delighted to have found such high calibre candidates and employed someone with far high skills and international knowledge than he had hope for.

Campaign Management Service

In 2008 we launched a new service to help our customers recruit in large numbers.  This offers three levels of service and involves us liasing directly with the candidates to coordinate the interview schedule. A set price is agreed per head (rather than per meeting).  For full details and typical costings download this PDF.
