There are many times when it would be great to have a recording (either audio or video) of an interview with a candidate.

We believe there are two major issues to consider when deciding to record:1) Is it legal to record, and if so under what circumstances?2) Is it ethical, proper, or “wise”…See More

Video Interview Job Candidates from your Computer

One of the first steps in the recruiting process involves screening potential candidates for an approved job opening. This is typically done with telephone calls today.
