We've started trialling online video interviewing platform, MyVideoProfile.co.uk.
MyVideoProfile.co.uk enables candidates to answer interview questions on a webcam and submit their answers to recruiters.
This is part of our wider plans to build useful internet technologies into the heart of our recruitment process - where they provide a benefit, naturally.
Our very own Nathan Mayatt, said “As a digital industry specialist it’s crucially important that we lead the way in terms of using new technologies to make the recruitment process better for job-seekers and businesses alike.
“By doing so we not only help to improve the overall quality of recruitment process for the digital industry, but we open up opportunities for candidates to make the best possible case for themselves in front of potential employers.”
Ben Mison, Managing Director of MyVideoProfile.co.uk, said “We are delighted to have Propel using MyVideoProfile.co.uk and look forward to helping them improve their service to clients and job seekers alike.
“In America, websites like My Video Profile are helping deliver recruitment cost savings and reduce lead-times from brief to interview by more than 50%. It seems it is only a matter of time before technology of this type is more commonly used throughout the UK recruitment market.”
So what do you think? Have you ever used video interviewing before? Or are you interested in taking part? If so, drop us a line.
