My interpretation is that many employers don’t actually like using the likes of Skype, some of the different views are interesting though.

Skype interviews have both their pros and cons , however there’s no doubt that they are here to stay. From the point of view of a candidate it should be easier to go through an interview if they don’t even have to leave their home, but it looks like it causes more hassle than expected. I think video interviews are only difficult for those who don’t know how to behave during a regular interview, for the rest it should be ok.

In reply to The gold digger. Well, we'll give you a pass for that, as long as you explain why!

In reply to Evil HR Lady. The reason I didn't have my video on when I was interviewing candidates in the Middle East was because I was calling them at 7:00 a.m. my time and I was unshowered and in my bathrobe.

In reply to Some guy. I think that's totally lame and it becomes more of an interrogation than a job interview, which should be a two way discussion.

In reply to Charles. Curses! Well, since the people I'm interviewing want me to interview them so that they can get their company's names out there, they will have to suffer! But I promise not to type if someone is interviewing me for a job. Or for anything.

What do you think about the HR and hiring managers who don’t put up their video, while the candidate does? I’ve been in this situation a couple times. As a candidate, I find it quite frustrating that I cannot see the people with whom I am conversing. Isn’t 2-way video the whole point of Skype?
Is this just all part of the one-way ‘we’re here to judge you and we don’t care about your needs’ attitude that employers love to portray?

In reply to the gold digger.

I’ll second that – I do training via Live Meeting, WebEx, etc. and have to remind everyone before every distance class to please mute their end because of typing and other noises.

Of course, I also have to remind people to unmute when I ask a question and no one answers!

In reply to Evil HR Lady. Nope. I was on a webex the other day with my headset and my colleague across the ocean asked whoever was typing (it was I) to please mute my microphone.
