It's ironic. Evaluating and securing top talent is among the most inefficient and inexact things companies do. That's no suprise for anyone. It's a truism. Especially if your in HR. The irony comes out of the reality that "people are the most valuable asset." (Another truism.)
I used to work for a global pharmaceutical company. Where the candidate evaluation system was actually quite rigorous; it was just terribly inefficient. It would take months, in some cases, to find, evaluate and hire the right person.
This needn't be the case. Candidate evaluation can now be managed almost entirely via the Web.
CareerScribe offers candidates a free online portfolio opportunity. After companies have done the work of candidate sourcing, they can simply ask the pool of candidates to upload their career portfolio into CareerScribe. Much of the administration time goes away. It's better than a video job interview; this still requires a coordination of calendars. With CareerScribe, candidates upload their professional portfolio, including their video, and companies can view this information at any point they choose. They can view the profiles as a team or individually. It's all asynchronous.
CareerScribe is also an Applicant Tracking System. Every click is recorded and available for all of the EEOC reports.
Have your candidates fill out their own free online portfolio. It'll save you time and will be a lasting resource for them.
