Six Ways Technology Is Changing Job Interviews

Screen candidates using handsfree technology

New technologies like Smartwatches are making it easier than ever to conduct an interview on the go. Screening multiple candidates take up a lot of time, so recruiters and potential employees who can be easily connected to each other will be a win-win situation for the company.

Use real time video testing

The cost of travel has gone up, but luckily, so has the convenience of video conferencing technology. You can now interview candidates for their suitability to nearly every job via video. Earlier, for most jobs, only preliminary aptitude could be determined, now, even advanced job techniques can be measured.

For example, ask a graphic designer to sketch on another computer placed before the video conferencing screen, or an accountant to demonstrate knowledge of specialized software.

Announce job offers through video

Employers often spend a lot of time and money in promoting their company’s brand through advertising and social media. But the most important assets of a company are the people who generate its revenue.

So why not extend the premise to recruitment? Posting job offers through video is a good way to drum up publicity in the general public for a company and its products, and to people in the industry about the company’s goals and culture. If managed properly, this concept can provide a two in one viral hit that is guaranteed to increase revenue.
