Tell Job Applicants to Stay Home
Finding job applicants can be a very long and tiring process. Meeting with job seekers takes time and money, not to mention it forces you to always maintain a sizable human resources division simply for sorting through potential employees. One company is looking to streamline this service while also helping to protect the environment. “Companies have been trying to get online videoconferencing to really work for people for quite a while now. We think this is both the technology and the application to make it happen,” said Greg Rokos, president of FutureResume.com. Rokos was announcing the addition of GreenJobInterview.com to the arsenal of video-based capabilities available to job seekers and hiring companies on the new online job board, FutureResume.com. GreenJobInterview.com is literally a “point-and-click” online videoconferencing solution with no software required, and no up-front costs, allowing anyone to access browser-based GreenJobInterview.com and conduct a videoconference. Only a webcam is required. GreenJobInterview.com will supply a webcam to client companies at no charge if needed and if their chosen candidate is without a webcam, it’s a simple request to GreenJobInterview.com that one be sent out.
GreenJobInterview.com appears as a button on the FutureResume.com site where job seekers post their resumes as well as one-minute video resume introductions that allow them to put their personality and professionalism on display and stand out from the crowd. When a hiring company is interested in a job seeker (whom they have seen in a one-minute video resume introduction on the site), they simply click the button to schedule a GreenJobInterview videoconference with the seeker at a convenient time. No traveling or significant expense is required.
“We believe companies will give more candidates the opportunity for an interview,” stated Greg Rokos, “when it doesn’t require hours or days of travel and all the personnel time associated with it. A GreenJobInterview takes moments to set up and costs as little as $49.95 for a half hour. It’s a win/win for both job seekers and hiring companies — and for the environment, too.”
According to Theo Rokos, co-founder and board member of FutureResume.com, “FutureResume.com is literally a new hiring process. Hiring managers get to see and interact with job seekers from day one in their video resume introductions and then in a GreenJobInterview. Seekers get to see the hiring company in its video profile on FutureResume.com. This process shortens the time to hire, improves the quality of hiring and significantly reduces costs and impact on the environment.”
