Platform OWVI (Online Walk-in & Video Interactions) will bring the traditional offline walk-in interview experience an online mode through the GoodWorkerApp, benefiting the entire recruitment ecosystem
Bengaluru: GoodWorker, a digital platform that aims to transform the lives of millions of workers, today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind digital interaction platform named OWVI (Online Walk-in and Video Interactions) for the hiring of blue and grey-collar workers. Built in on its app, the platform connects the interviewer and the interviewee through a virtual walk-in, face-to-face call in a time-efficient manner eliminating physical and digital barriers like travel requirements and inexperience with video conferencing tools.
OWVI’s functional process begins with an employer creating a job listing on the GoodWorker app that also has a video hiring event with a date and time for the interview. Following this, GoodWorker gets into action where it identifies a pool of right-fit candidates by reaching out to them on a real-time basis through both app notifications and in-person calls. Once the candidate chooses to participate in the interview event by clicking on the option in the app, they are kept informed through regular communication about the interview day and time.
On the scheduled day and time, the interviewer starts the interview process by logging in through their GoodWorker employer app, and the candidates get connected to the call one by one in an orderly manner through the OWVI interface. While in conversation with an interviewee, the employer also has complete visibility of the candidate’s profile screen, enabling them to complete candidature information. In case, during the call if the interviewee faces connectivity problems or there be any other hinderance, the employer has the option to push the candidate to the back of the line giving him time and space to realign. This remedial measure ensures the candidate does not lose out on an interview opportunity.
Once the call is done, an employer can either shortlist or reject the interviewee on real-time basis and move on to the next candidate seamlessly. The candidate is updated on their status in real-time, making the entire process transparent and time efficient. For the entire interview process, the employer stays connected on the single login while the candidates get moved in and out of the session, making OWVI an online format of an offline experience.
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Amit Jain, CEO of GoodWorker said, ‘”We’re building a full stack digital career building platform that helps workers improve employability, find jobs and in the process makes workers owners of rich digital identities which they use to access quality of life services. OWVI is a big step in that direction as it digitizes crucial steps in the hiring journey that have hitherto remained fragmented and broken.”
Mayank Mohan, Senior Director and Business Head, said, “For the first time, OWVI will stitch together the pieces of job applications and interviews in a seamless, online way! This will save time and effort for employers- enabling more and better interviews and saving effort for applicants. The platform demonstrates GoodWorker’s commitment to bring first-to-market solutions that will change the hiring ecosystem works.”
Teeshant Dhiman, Associate Director – Product of GoodWorker said, “OWVI will transform the blue-collar worker job space by democratizing its hiring process. Our app-based convergence of job availability and talent supply is an industry game changer as it enables convenience without the trouble of technology barriers. OWVI enables a seamless chain of a job listing, to interviews and immediate status updates helping employers to choose the right-fit talent faster and helping the job seeker get clarity on the next steps without delay.”
OWVI is an industry-first platform created by GoodWorker; over time the company intends to evolve the platform into a one-stop talent-help service with elements like career counselling, mock interviews with mentors, assessment, group discussion sessions, and employer branding sessions, among others.
The expressed vision of GoodWorker is to help improve the lives of India’s blue-collar and grey-collar employees by offering access to career advancement possibilities and other quality-of-life services.
