"@ Chris - bringing up the discrimination claim is as baseless as making a child wait 30 minutes to swim after eating. It makes the recruiting industry look uninformed and stuck in the past. Virtually every Fortune 500 company is using video to…"

David DeCapua commented on Amanda DiSilvestro's blog post 'Are Video Resumes a Good Idea?'"many companies interview tens or hundreds of candidates - there is no way to remember them (unless you're Rainman!). 70% of first interviews are a bust and most hiring managers know this within 30 seconds. Why not see a video first and…"
David DeCapua commented on Amanda DiSilvestro's blog post 'Are Video Resumes a Good Idea?'"@ Amanda: Too late - it's already everywhere including, Starbucks, Walmart, A&F, Nationwide etc. etc. Most use it simply as a candidate screening tool - can the candidate communicate, smile while talking, did they take the time to do it…"
David DeCapua commented on Amanda DiSilvestro's blog post 'Are Video Resumes a Good Idea?'"Can't stop the proliferation of logical technology. Video is quickly becoming a staple for companies and recruiters. It's funny how many people are stuck in their habits - within the next five years video will be a "given".…"
David DeCapua posted a blog postRecruiting 2.0 - The Potency of Video
As a hiring manager, how many times have you said the phrase “The resumes I am getting do not match what I’m looking for at all”? Well, now is the time to restructure your hiring process and see what you can do to improve your results. For starters:1. The proof is in the details – Your job description is everything; it should be detailed, but not a novel. Make sure that important “must haves” are at the top to catch those quick readers in their tracks before they hit the “apply” button. A job…See More

Bill Schultz commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"i wish there was an app from which you can mark up a resume in an ipad. Maybe there is one and I don't know about it. I just use "notes" and attach it to the resume file. "
Amy Ala commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"All I know about video is our campus recruiter is making some for our corporate page.

Sandra McCartt commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"I don't think we are talking semantics, pun intended.

Amy Ala commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"@Bill - you'll have to pry my pens out of my cold dead hands!

Sandra McCartt commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"David, if you agree with Jerry that video resumes are crap why is this blog a pitch to job seekers to use your product to do a video resume that they send to employers even through job boards.

Amy Ala commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"I'll never stop asking for a paper resume. That's what I take all my notes on, and yes I use a red pen. Stands out better. :)"
David DeCapua commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"@ Jerry - agree on video resumes. We started out down that path, but learned quickly that clients want to see and hear candidates answer questions of their choosing. We send a link to a candidate with client specific questions, then forward to…"
Sandra McCartt commented on David DeCapua's blog post 'Shake Off The Turkey Coma and Land a Job With Video Technology!!'"Video conferencing and Skype have been around since the beginning of this decade so not exactly new.
