      January 2017: Adapting is innovating

      Ready to level up your recruitment?
      Let’s jump on a call and explore how Talkpush can help your team.

      So you want to be on the cutting edge of recruitment innovation? Pretty simple actually. You don’t need to be reading Harvard Case Studies nor to attend HR Tech conferences all day. All you need is to do is to adapt your existing processes to the new behaviors in your talent pool.

      Take the selfie for example, a behavior which started back in 2010 when the iPhone 4 was released with the front-facing camera. While the selfie is now part of popular culture, no interview software allowed candidates to submit their photo or their video via messaging. Until now! Indeed, we have just released the first video interviewing solution over messaging. Already, candidates are responding enthusiastically, with half of them sending in these “video selfies” with their job applications.

      Read on below for details. You can also browse my new Guide to recruiting on Facebook and other company and industry news.

       

      NEW FEATURE

      Video interviewing made friendly
      For years my biggest criticism on one-way video interviews was that they felt like an imposition on candidates. It didn’t feel “natural” for candidates to download an app or to stand in front of their desktop as a first point of contact. We believe we have finally cracked the case with candidates now able to submit their videos via Facebook Messenger. Read here.
