Today, they\u2019re still popular, with many companies opting for virtual interviews at least partially in their hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the decision isn\u2019t always straightforward\u2014different roles might call for different setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, at Playvox, a workforce management software firm, nearly all interviews are virtual, with one big exception: leadership roles. As their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/in\/topics-tools\/news\/managing-smart\/finding-the-best-interview-format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">VP of People and Culture explains<\/a>, evaluating an executive\u2019s presence and interpersonal skills through video interviews alone can be challenging, so they prefer in-person interviews for higher-level roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, companies like PwC conduct virtual interviews in a one-on-one format to foster personal connection, usually pairing candidates with employees who can share insights about life at the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The takeaway? Think about what best aligns with both the role\u2019s demands and your company\u2019s values.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #d9edf7; color: #31708f; border-left-color: #31708f; \" class=\"ub-styled-box ub-notification-box wp-block-ub-styled-box\" id=\"ub-styled-box-9cf8ed1c-1681-49bd-90bb-4b990a9d099a\">\n<p id=\"ub-styled-box-notification-content-\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/remote-interview-tips\/\">Remote Interview Tips to Prepare for Your Next Interview<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-candidate-preferences\">Candidate preferences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time to consider the other side of the coin\u2014the interview format isn\u2019t just about company convenience; candidate preference plays a big role too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 3px dotted #9b51e0; border-radius: 0%; background-color: inherit; \" class=\"ub-styled-box ub-bordered-box wp-block-ub-styled-box\" id=\"ub-styled-box-c9e441ce-d7c9-41c3-8262-c7c034d4d1f3\">\n<p id=\"ub-styled-box-bordered-content-\">The American Staffing Association found that <a href=\"https:\/\/americanstaffing.net\/posts\/2023\/02\/16\/in-person-job-interviews-vs-virtual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">70%<\/a> of American job seekers still prefer in-person interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Why?
