Is It Ethical To Record Your Candidate Interviews?
There are many times when it would be great to have a recording (either audio or video) of an interview with a candidate.

It is a low cost, fast, and an effective means of quickly going through basic requirements with a candidate. However since you can't see the candidate you have no idea if they are sitting in front of Wikipedia, have open books on their desk, or have other reference material nearby.
