VCV features that PepsiCo uses: integrate, assess quickly, get analytics in few clicks
Every stage of PepsiCo's programs for graduates is aimed at gathering particular information about candidates and assessing certain competencies. Here is what the selection pipeline looked like for the BreakOut 2020-2021 program. The interview stage started with the VCV pre-recorded interviews that worked as a selection step to a full-time meeting.
Video interview: 81% conversion rate, 13 minutes for full assessment and feedback (VIDEO)
Pre-recorded video interviews were introduced as one of the intermediate selection stages to assess the chosen competencies such as:
To build contact with candidates even remotely, several team members recorded the questions on camera. It's also a way to introduce the team that the future program members will work with. Here are the examples of such questions, and one to listen to.
- How much a candidate knows about the program, whether they're properly motivated and why they want to participate in the program
- Whether a candidate is result-oriented
- Whether a candidate has the curiosity for learning

In contrast to what an interview might have taken - 45 or 60 minutes per candidate - with VCV it took just 12-15 minutes to review an applicant, including their basic information, as well as to assign points to each of the competencies and to leave general comments.
Integration & Analytics: work in one tab, make data-based conclusions on candidates and the team
Pre-recorded video interviews were integrated with PepsiCo's corporate system for the program, which allowed to see all the information about a candidate and their video CVs in one so-called 'candidate card'. There was no need to search for the necessary information in CVs.
As for the analytics, five recruiters worked on the VCV stage and the system allowed downloading the data, and to analyze volume and conversion for each recruiter (how many candidates were viewed, how many successfully reached the next selection stage).
