InterviewStudio Webinar Discusses Legal Considerations of Video Interviews and Resumes

Thursday May 8, 2008

Bellevue, Wash. — May 8
InterviewStudio, a new rich media platform used for the initial interview of a job candidate, has just made available its latest Webinar, “To Video or Not To Video: The Social and Legal Considerations of Video Interviews and Video Resumes.” The Webinar features legal views and perspectives from the EEOC, a private-practice law firm, and recruiting industry experts.

Though controversial, the video has arrived on the hiring scene, and employers and recruiters must now determine how they will use video interviews or resumes in their applicant-screening process while staying within the guidelines set forth by the EEOC and OFCCP.

InterviewStudio’s Webinar, “To Video or Not To Video,” presents employers and recruiters with the latest information they need regarding video usage in the screening process, with the EEOC’s views presented by an assistant legal counsel; practical advice on video risk management from Summit Law Group, a private practice firm based in Seattle; and an industry perspective from Colleen Aylward, a 16-year leader in the applicant screening market.

“Federal EEO laws certainly do not prohibit video resumes,” said Carol Miaskoff, assistant legal council for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. “Video viewers just need to be aware of the same types of Title VII, ADA and ADEA issues that they would if they were doing a face-to-face interview,” said Aylward. “If you’re going to use video as a portion of your due diligence in employment screening, you need to wrap that video inside a system of checks and balances to cover your liabilities.”
