Using Online Video Interviews As Part of The Recruitment Process
Posted on 06. Jul, 2011 by admin.
In the first of our Speaker Preview Interviews for the 2011 Mobile & Video in Recruitment Conference I caught up with Ed Hendrick when he was recently in London.
Ed is the Founder & Director of Business Development at Sonru, a video technology company headquartered in Southern Ireland with offices in the UK and Singapore.
In this intervew Ed explains how online video can be used as part of the recruitment process, the types of companies that are already using online video interviewing and the benefits that it offers.
Sonru will be speaking at the Conference on the 17th November 2011 and will be sharing case studies and success stories.
Online video interviews are really starting to take off and I hope you enjoy the interview.

YouTube Celebrates Its 6th Birthday But Are Recruiters Utilising Online Video Enough?
Posted on 31. May, 2011 by admin.
YouTube celebrated its 6th Birthday in May having been officially launched in May 2005. They have also updated their stats in terms of usage which are as follows:
- There are now more than 48 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.
- They experienced a 37% increase in videos uploaded per minute over the last six months and a 100% increase from last year.
- They passed 3 billion views in one day which was a 50% increase compared to last year.
People tend to think of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter when talking about Social Media but in reality YouTube is also a social network where people share videos. You will have probably been sent a link or seen a link to a YouTube video yourself in the last 30 days? Or you may even have passed on details of a video yourself?
With YouTube officially the second largest search engine in the world (Google is number one) there are millions of people every day looking for information. And some of the information they are searching for is job and recruitment related!
Creating your own recruitment videos doesn’t have to be that complicated and in some cases you don’t even need a video camera to create a recruitment video! So if you are anxious about appearing in a video then don’t worry as there are plenty of alternatives to getting your videos onto YouTube.
If you have any questions about online video then feel free to contact me.

The Video CV – What Do Recruiters Think?
Posted on 10. Mar, 2011 by admin.
I’ve just spent two days in Johannesburg at an Online Recruitment Conference CJiX where I spoke about Video Technology in Recruitment.
I covered three main areas:
- Video CV’s
- Video Interviews
- Video Marketing
The general feedback from the Recruiters in the audience was that they were unsure about the Video CV but that they could see clear benefits to their companies from using Video Interviews (as part of the recruitment process) and Video Marketing (for promoting their jobs and their company).
As a Recruiter what is your experience of Video CVs?
- Have you ever watched any Video CVs?
- What were your impressions?
- Have you ever hired anyone as a result of initially receiving a link to a Video CV?
- Do you think that a Video CV can make a difference for job seekers?
It would be great to hear your experiences. Please leave your feedback below.
Thanks
