Soft skills in a video resume, do they matter?

Soft skills in a video resume, do they matter?

When hiring a new employee for your company, there are many aspects for you to consider. If we are going to list the items; experience, education, talents, and skills are some of them. The list goes on and on. It’s simply just about their hard and soft skills. Obviously, hard skills are measurable, but what about soft skills? Do they matter? What if employers can have a look into the soft skills of their candidates? It would be valuable to get a sense of skills such as confidence, the ability to connect with others, judgment, and many others before narrowing down the resume. It will save you time when choosing the most appropriate applicants for the interviews and the next steps of the hiring process. Let’s uncover insights into this topic.

Culture fit and job fit

If a candidate stays culturally fit as well as job fit, they will not leave the company soon. Employee longevity is essential to run a business smoothly. Therefore, when hiring for a full-time position, it is important to look for signs that tell you how long the applicants are going to stay in the company. If the candidates show their motivation, passion, commitment, and innovative ideas, they will be an asset to your company. 

Dependability

It’s crucial to know how much you can rely on your employees. Trustworthiness and the ability to meet deadlines play a vital role in the company. When an applicant presents themselves via video, it is easy to watch and get a good sense of their dependability. 

Team spirit

It is important to understand if new applicants can work collaboratively with the team. A truly collaborative person would not just show off their ability to work with colleagues, but also demonstrate through their actions. Having a video in hand makes it much simpler to choose the right candidates.

Communication

A video is a great opportunity to understand job seekers’ communication skills. The way they present, how they deliver the message about their talents and skills, and simply, the way they present themselves is enough to understand their communication skills. 

Anything else?

The number of soft skills is countless. For example, attention to detail, adaptability, creativity, leadership, empathy, positivity, time management, work ethics, and so on. Although it is a long list, hiring managers should have a good understanding of what skills should be considered for the position.

No matter what type of soft skills you are looking for, short videos or video resumes are one of the best methods to evaluate the top talents for your business.
