This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
A video call is easy to schedule. A useful hiring conversation takes preparation. Here are 258 tools to make the screen a clear path to job evidence: 199 ready-to-use checklists, question lists, procedures, templates and AI prompts, 30 models and methods, 10 services shown on screen and 19 working files.
Open a lecture, take the scorecard, use it in your next interview.
What goes wrong when interviews move online
Instructions are unclear, answers get interrupted, a panel talks over the candidate, and ratings follow presentation rather than relevant skills. Candidates leave without understanding the role, the company or the next step. Each interview creates more uncertainty for everyone involved in the decision.
What changes after this course
Every virtual interview has a clear purpose, understandable expectations and a recovery route when the technology fails. Questions connect to the work, notes separate observations from interpretations, and ratings have an explanation. The candidate has space to ask questions and understand how the company works. And at volume, the same standard holds for hundreds of candidates.
A note on the structure
The first four lessons are the virtual interviewing core, with four interactive browser tools and fictional cases, so you can practise without sharing real candidate data. The following sections cover high-volume recruitment: screening and assessment, candidate experience, vacancy preparation, sourcing, mass and individual interviews, offers and onboarding. They give the broader recruitment context, and not every one of them is about video interviews.
What is inside: 258 tools, counted lecture by lecture
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.
Where the tools are
Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
At iDeals we set up Zoom Rooms in our meeting rooms: a screen, a wide camera, a small computer and a tablet to start the call. You walk in, the meeting is already scheduled, you press start, and everyone in the room is visible and heard, instead of a laptop turned around on the table. Mass hiring I learned much earlier. At Alfa-Bank and later at the STB television channel we ran synchronous mass interviews: tests and a group task first, then three or four finalists interviewed for 15 minutes by three interviewers in parallel.
How to use the course
Start with the four virtual interviewing lessons and their interactive tools. Then take the high-volume sections if you hire many people for the same roles. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name.
