The phenomenon of online video has changed the way we share information with people across the world. In fact, it is estimated that in just 2 years, 90% of people will log onto the internet specifically with the intention of watching online videos. In conjunction with this, the advent of online social networking has completely altered the way humans connect with people around the globe. Time magazine payed homage to the undeniable impact of websites such as Youtube and Facebook on modern society when in 2006 the magazine declared that ‘You’ were the person of the year.

And now, the interview process is set to be revolutionized by web 2.0 with the launch of infullview.com.

Infullview.com is a tool for both employees and employers which has been developed to dramatically enhance the recruitment process. Co founder Matt Hughes explained the benefits of combining social networking and online video in the recruitment process:

“As competition for the best talent gets more fierce, employers are seeking new and innovative ways to compare job applicants ……using infullview, job applicants are able to collate all of the important information that employers want to receive (including links to social media sites), as well as being able to showcase their communication skills on video.”

Infullview.com allows employers to gain a better insight into potential candidates by watching videos of them answering specific questions determined by the employer, while also gaining access to portfolios, CVs and other important documents. All this takes place on infullview.com’s user friendly online platform, allowing both employers and candidates to easily organize applications and make the transition to online recruitment convenient and effortless.

So what does this mean for the recruitment process? Gone are the days of endless preliminary interviews with candidates who have an impressive CV but lack ‘soft skills’ in person. “Ultimately we want to make the hiring process more sociable; so less about CV’s and more about the individual” explains Hughes. Using online video for the preliminary stage of the recruitment process means that employers and job seekers will be able to overcome distance barriers, scheduling conflicts, and logistical problems experienced with face-to-face interviews, therefore improving the chance of finding the perfect employee for the perfect job.

With new and enhanced features already being rolled out based on user feedback, aimed at making interviewing convenient and productive for everyone, it will be in every employer/job seeker’s best interests to keep an eye on infullview.com in 2012! Check out founders Matt and Patrick explaining all of infullview.com’s exciting features and how the online recruitment system works.
