The recruitment process can be long and time consuming. Ensuring you get the most out of your investment is essential, but sometimes it can be difficult to manage your time efficiently. Another issue for recruiters is being able to source from a wide pool of candidates. Dependent on your industry, it may help to search not only in your area, but across the world for viable candidates. This can increase the time and money you spend on finding a good choice. One solution to all of these problems is video conferencing.

 

Video conferencing has been available for many years, but has only recently become a more common tool for businesses, with the technology improving to a point where it is now easier and more efficient to use. It is ideal for a wide range of scenarios, including recruiting new members of staff.

 

Traditional recruiting practices involve scheduling a time and place for employers and prospective employees to meet or organising a phone call at a specified time. This can take a significant amount of time and money to organise. The biggest benefit of video conferencing for recruitment is the reduction in these costs. Video conferencing removes travel expenses and long distance charges, while still offering the benefits of a face to face meeting. This removes any misunderstandings usually found via phone calls and also reduces any expenses needed to get to a location and set up a meeting. Video conferencing can also save time, as it can be done at any time, as well as eliminating the need for travel or space.

 

When looking at candidates in various locations, particularly in other countries, video conferencing is even more beneficial. You can eliminate geographic boundaries entirely, allowing employers to engage candidates in a more “human” way. During the meeting, you can see the prospective employee’s face, their emotions, their body language – it is just like seeing them in person.
