Virtual interviews are the new normal—and not just for screening. Virtual interviews allow you to source more widely, save money on travel and lodging, and develop schedules to protect the health of both employees and candidates. Virtual interviews also open you to a more diverse pool of candidates. Highly effective virtual interviews can help you see past the resume, connect with the best talent, and highlight your company's commitment to inclusion. This session will focus on the best practices related to virtual interviews, regardless of the platform or technology.
