Tiivistelmä
Video is a medium used to provide additional information in the recruitment process for both job seekers and the organisations. The use of video tools was examined in this paper to determine the extent of use and benefits of the tools in job advertisements and recruitment marketing, video résumés, video interviews, rejection letters and onboarding, as well as determining what implications future technology and legislation have on the use of video in recruitment.
Research and analysis in this paper were based on both primary and secondary qualitative research from published studies and literature, and an interview was conducted with the leading video interview vendor in the Nordics.
As a relatively new tool in recruitment concerns arise of the validity and acceptability of video tools. The research aims to produce arguments for the benefits and considerations that need to be taken into account before deciding to implement these in an organisation’s recruitment process.
Findings in this paper indicate that the use of video tools in the recruitment process is growing and companies are adopting these tools in their recruitment and selection processes.
