Virtual Interviews 101
The hiring landscape is increasingly moving in a digital direction. One area where this is particularly noticeable (and jarring for job-seekers) is in the job interview context.
Virtual interviews have become more common, with a particular move towards asynchronous video interviews (AVIs). In AVIs, the applicant does not interact with an interviewer, and instead records their responses to questions, which may then be scored by a person or even a computer algorithm.
This webinar is aimed at increasing understanding of AVIs, what these can look like, and how applicants can better prepare themselves for AVIs as well as other virtual-format interviews. This webinar took place Dec. 14, 2021.
