Video Resumes – Lights, Camera, Action
March 27, 2009 by Geoff Jennings · 9 Comments
A few years back Aleksey Vaynar pioneered the video resume.
His effort will be remembered as the way NOT to do it, and has contributed to huge cringe factor regarding the concept of video resumes. However, it could be that we are almost ready to give it another serious try.
The best software available I have seen is Talent On View, a video platform that enables recruiters and corporate businesses to take advantage of innovative technology during all stages of the recruitment life cycle.
It allows you to:
* Record or upload candidate videos
* Share videos with clients and hiring managers
* Allow candidates to upload videos remotely for assessment
* Send videos to multiple contacts at one time
I have also been testing the new SkypeCap application that allows you to record your Skype audio and video.
Another notable is Candidates Alive. This company offers the ability for the candidate to record themselves. The end product is a live link, professionally presented with your corporate branding to your clients.
Increasingly, recruiters and candidates are under demand to provide more information about themselves and their candidates to employers. These are tools designed to meet that demand.
In case you missed it…
