Definitely the way of the future, especially as society becomes more mobile and people apply for jobs not just around the country but the planet. I've several friends here in China that could have used this the past year. (Name's a bit tough to remember, though; I guess it will grow on us, like Yoohoo did.

How do you plan on publishing the videos? Will you be tracking visitors on each video streams to see which candidate gets more hits and longest session duration?

How do you plan on publishing the videos?
Will you be tracking visitors on each video streams to see which candidate gets more hits and longest session duration?

As more new devices include integrated cams and collaboration software becomes always-on for more users, it may just be expected that inteview calls be cammed- so stand-alone business that trade on that idea may find themselves getting more into job design and assesement or other value-adds beyond the video hookup.

So it is an opportunity for career minded professionals to stand out now using video. Video allows people to deliver a complete communication (content, voice, body language) and gives us the opportunity to get to know them. It is the best form of personal branding and it will increase as bandwith grows and tools for creating and posting video increase. 2009 will be the year of using video to build your personal brand.

Compared to text-based resume, video interview profiling indeed is not 100% designed for EEO(equal employment opportunity) compliance purpose to begin with. And in some situation, we think employer needs to interview at least a fair percentage of candidates to ensure their video profiles represents enough diversity otherwise it won't be a best EEO practice. Bu there is another side of how video interviewing can ensure organizations get the best candidate while comply with EEO guidelines without being forced to hire any non-fit candidate in order to comprise diversity rules. At iViioo the employer can see candidates answering question on video, and this is a more objective and precise way to provide fact-based skill comparison among different candidates and thus ensure best EEO practice for your organization. In another word, pure subjective phone screening without a video record on file could be a hidden risk for companies. Hi Darryl,

It could definitely be a new way of recruiting. However I don't think it will replace the so important face-to-face interview with the last couple of candidates, but it will probably be a good start to find the most talented.
