The video interviewing tool is one I have investigated at length. There is only one company (not mentioned in your article) that I recommend to my clients. It is reasonably priced and totally customizable. When I looked into HireVue to potentially recommend they weren’t able to meet the needs of what I recommend to my clients when it comes to effective video interviewing.

Yes, these companies offer convenience. A one way interview, however, is IMO quite ineffective. How many actual scenarios in business require a one way conversation or interaction? These companies may be laughing all the way to the bank, but I’m not convinced that they are making a difference. I suppose that as long as companies continue to think these types of tools are going to fix their recruiting processes, then you get what you get.

I’m aware of one company that paid over 50k to one of the companies you mention in this article. They subsequently realized they had made a serious error in judgement as to the true value of the product. I wonder why the recruiter who recommended the product and/or the person who signed off on it still have jobs?
