We live in a technological world—this is not news. We now
communicate more through our electronic devices than we do in
person—this is also not news. Yet, one interpersonal
mechanism necessary for securing a job has remained largely
sacrosanct—interviews. While you may be reading this
thinking, “Well, what about Skype or video interviews?
I’ve had at least one of those,” you have acutely
identified the growing trend of “interview by
anywhere.”
Recently, employers are taking this trend one step further by
eliminating visibility in favor of efficiency and near limitless
candidate accessibility through interviews by text. In the
constantly evolving hiring market, employers can gain a significant
competitive advantage by understanding how this new age process
works, the benefits it can afford, and implementation strategies
that simultaneously reduce potential risks.
