Video Interviewing - An update from NACE conference in New Orleans follow this blog post

Before you ever spend time with a candidate, would you like to SEE a candidate answer questions? At the NACE conference in New Orleans, InterviewStream demonstrated their solution that helps recruiters create custom interview questions that candidates record answers to by webcam. InterviewStream also has many recorded answers to standard/common recruitment questions. This service takes phone screening to a new level. At their leisure recruiters can view a candidate?s answers to a custom list of questions. Viewing a video of a candidate provides more insight into a candidate?s communication style and poise--aspects that can't be conveyed in a resume.

InterviewStream also allows candidates to prepare for what can sometimes be difficult and stressed-filled interviews. Candidates can practice and reshoot their answers; this practice helps them provide better answers. Preparation for an interview is always recommended, however some recruiters might feel the answers are too scripted or practiced. InterviewStream is part of the screening process, so during live interview recruiter and hiring managers can evaluate candidates without second takes. Live webcam interviews are possible too.

InterviewStream helps candidates reduce their use of filler words: Umm , Like , I mean , You know, etc? . That makes for better conversation anywhere, you know what I mean!!!!

Here are the two co-founders in a video demonstrating the service.
