Video interviews allow our clients to determine whether they see the candidate as a good prospect for a final interview and gain additional insight on the candidate's education, experience, personality, as well as their ability to think on their feet, all of which has been said to help lay the foundation for the final interview process. Access to, and viewing of, this information is as simple as clicking on a link from the individual client's laptop, phone, or smart device in a location and at a time that is convenient for them. Candidate confidentiality is maintained by assigning and referring to each semifinalist candidate as a number. Candidates are considered public once they are chosen as a finalist.
