When I start to think about adding something like Live Video Interviewing or Video Screening to my HR/Recruiting Toolbox – I instantly go to about 100 reasons why we can’t do that in our environment! It’s too Technical! It will take too much time! It will cost too much! I’m not smart enough to make [...]
********GUEST POST ALERT*********** The post is brought to you by John Whitaker from People Results. John calls himself the Texas “Me” – which I’m not sure I would ever admit to, but at least he has enough sales sense to flatter me for a guest post – plus I like his writing style! Check him [...]
