HireVue - Video Interviewing


A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to have breakfast with Bill Allred and my good friend Jay Hart. Bill is a former Junto Partner and founder of Fire Pole. He is now working with the guys at HireVue and I got a chance to learn a little more about what they are doing:

HireVue is basically saving time and money for companies that do long-distance hiring. So rather than have an executive fly accross the planet to interview a bunch of people, just to narrow it down to a few they will have to fly back for more interviews; HireVue sends a webcam to the candidates and the candidate does the interview online, answering pre-entered questions from the company. The interview is stored and the company can review at their convenience. It is pretty cool - check it out www.hirevue.com With clients like Google, E-Trade, and Overstock, they must be doing something right.
