As a recruiting professional, you have to get close to candidates to understand which roles they’ll fit best. When you can’t physically get close to them, it makes your job that much harder. Phone calls feel inadequate, and chancing a masked in-person interview with every qualified candidate would be time-consuming and perhaps more risky than your open reqs warrant.
This is where video interviewing comes in. Not only can it create a positive interviewing environment at a trying time, but in the era of making everything remote as much as possible, it also provides better candidate insights than the “good enough” alternatives do.
