Let\u2019s face it; the traditional process of resume reviews, phone screens and in-person interviews is too limiting, too linear. But this comes as no real surprise. By now, we all know that recruiting is changing, evolving and taking on new life in light of newer technologies. Take video for instance. Though the concept of video interviewing is nothing new, the practice is taking hold and for good reason. In an era of smartphones, Wi-Fi and maximizing the bottom line, video just makes sense.<\/p>\n

For recruiters, there\u2019s the obvious benefits such as shorter distances to cover, flexible scheduling, faster screening and of course, playback. But there\u2019s also improved standardization, enhanced collaboration and increased opportunity for feedback and communication. It\u2019s more engaging and constructive and ultimately, a better use of both the recruiter and the candidate\u2019s time.

Video takes some of the pressure off and puts time back into the candidate\u2019s schedule where it counts: to fully prepare for the interview. This means candidates have the opportunity to really put their best foot \u2013 or in this case, face \u2013 forward.
