A one on one interview
transcription consists of the transcription of recorded one
on one interview sessions. It is the most common type of interviewing
practice and it involves the participation of just the interviewer
and the interviewee. Such an interview is customary in the
recruitment of new employees in an organization. The interview
itself helps in deciding whether the candidate has the skills
and the drive to meet organizational goals. Other than companies,
such interviews are also held for admission to schools/colleges,
awarding of contracts etc. The interviewee also stands to
gain by knowing whether the organization is suitable for him.
The key to a successful interview lies in the evaluation stage
rather than the conduction or the preparation stage. The interviewer
may have to listen to ‘n’ number of candidates
to choose the right one. The monotony and the pressure of
such an exercise can affect the interviewer’s judgment.
Hence your best bet lies in getting the interview recorded.
But that is far from being enough. It would be cumbersome
for you to refer to the recordings or listen to parts of it
in the process of analyzing the interviews. So you go one
step further and convert your audio files to text form. This
is where we come to your rescue. Our company can undertake
the task of transcribing all your interview recordings into
text form. The area of one on one interview transcription
is not new to us. We have a rich experience in the field of
transcribing interview recordings. We now know what it takes
to meet customer demands day in and day out. We understand
the specific requirements of one on one interview transcription,
an insight not many companies possess. For us, an interview
transcription has the following special needs:
(1)Accuracy: One on one interview
recordings are not like broadcast quality interview footages.
They are recorded using less sophisticated devices and the
environment where the interview is conducted is, in no way,
similar to the one in a sound proof studio. With all the external
noise and the inherent lack of audio clarity, one on one interview
recordings can be hard to transcribe with sufficient accuracy.
At the same time, the evaluator needs an accurate transcription
of the recordings to compare the performance of various candidates.
Hence, we recognize that the area of our focus for one on
one interviews is ,undoubtedly, accuracy. The transcriptionists
doing one on one interview transcription work are the best
among the lot, in terms of experience as well as training.
They have undergone sufficient amount of drills to reduce
all human errors that occur inadvertently. The errors that
may occur due to poor audio quality are tackled by use of
appropriate transcription software which helps in slowing
down the played recordings. In the end, the transcript is
checked and cross checked by various transcriptionists to
eliminate remaining errors.
(2)Cost:The amount of transcription
work involved in interview recordings can be immense. For
long interviews of tens of candidates, the transcriptioning
can cost a fortune. However, we provide you with a solution
for that as well. Our transcription work is outsourced from
our offshore location in India. The cost reduction we get
from this center passes on to our customers as well. Like
some of our clients who used to pay 5 times of our present
rates, you may be paying too much for something that we offer
for peanuts. There are no hidden costs in this. Outsourcing
enables us to produce such high quality transcripts at the
lowest possible rates.
(3)Recording types: We have
no restriction on the kind of recording that you are going
to send. We understand that interviewers are not professional
sound recordists and hence they should be granted the freedom
to send their recordings in any available form ,be it digital
forms like mp3,wav,au etc. or VHS recordings and magnetic
tapes.
(4) Speed: The speed of our
transcription process is another feature that we are known
for. We have two main categories of our services, designed
for customers who wish a tighter turnaround time of 12 to
24 hours(Category A) and for those who are ready for a relaxed
turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours(Category B). Once the order
has been confirmed for either of the categories, we follow
a tight schedule to ensure that our promised deadline is not
surpassed. Mostly we finish the work much before the agreed
completion time.
As you can see, our services have the rare distinction of
having high quality as well as being low priced. If you try
our one on one interview transcription service, you will be
one amongst the many satisfied clients that are receiving
our services. You can try out our free trial offer for one
