I found this site – RecruiTV – from the ERE.net newsletter. The company that runs this site is called Wetjello (I have no idea why, but it is memorable). From their website:
Wetjello provides powerful online video recruitment solutions including recruitment campaign video development, video production and integrated web video solutions.
Were helping create a new online recruitment medium with powerful, edgy and impactful video campaigns for companies around the world.
Their claim to fame is that they feature video resumes. I have been drawn in to watching a few of the sales resumes (is that the proper word for these). I have to admit, some parts of the videos are quite distracting. One gentleman was twiddling his thumbs which was, well, annoying. This observation indicates simpletons like myself can be easily distracted by the inane as opposed to focusing on the substance of the resume.
Give me a good phone screen any day over this media. But I suspect the video resume will grow in popularity over the next few years.
