LONDON, ENGLAND, August 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) The number of applications received for each job advertised in the UK is on the rise. With an increase in the number of jobseekers looking for work, many more people than ever before are applying for each job advertised.
Employers and recruiters often receive hundreds of applications for each role, so to reduce the amount of time taken up by the recruitment process, many are now beginning to ask for a video CV for online interview.
A video CV for online interview is beneficial for both employers and candidates. It means both parties do not have to take time out to schedule a mutually convenient interview date, and candidates can progress through the recruitment process quicker and with less time off work from their current employer. Employers can more efficiently screen potential candidates for suitability before requesting a face-to-face meeting.
