What about video conferencing as an alternative to video interviews? No, no, no. While they might seem like a viable alternative, video conferences require a lot of steps that can hinder the interview and hiring process.

Video conferencing can require even more scheduling than a face-to-face interview to get all interested parties to one room at the same time–in a high-tech-equipped facility, no less. The expense and lack of convenience can introduce a time lag that might be disastrous to a timely hiring process.

Video interviewing can be done at the convenience of everyone involved with the simplicity of a web cam and e-mail. If the hiring manager thinks the candidate is a possibility, the video interview can be replayed as many times as necessary at the convenience of everyone on the hiring team. That ease makes it possible to interview more candidates than before to ensure the right one is found.
