Abstract:
A method and system is provided for conducting a remote employment video interview. The method includes allowing a candidate to access a remote server and selecting a position for which the candidate wishes to apply. The candidate is presented with questions to which the candidate responds, using a camera and microphone of a telecommunications device, such as a computer or other suitable device. The candidate can review, re-record or accept a response. Advantageously, accepting a response results in the candidate being presented with a next question. This procedure continues until the candidate has responded to all questions. Optionally, the candidate may submit a resume. The responses are uploaded to a server and the employer which the candidate has selected is provided with a reference link, via email, corresponding to a location on the server where the candidate's responses are stored. The employer uses the reference link to access the video interview in the form of either streaming video or, optionally, as a multimedia file, after proper authentication.
