Video Resumes, Video Cover Letters or Video Interviews - The benefits of video services like Vipe, as shown by Plugged-in Pete.
I think that these video resumes, or as I call them, “video cover letters” can be a very good initial representation of a candidate. This is the candidate’s opportunity to get their best foot forward when presenting themselves. Or I guess in this case it’s their best face forward!
Sure, they can be done over and over again before they are sent, but that’s the point. If their best video still doesn’t make a good impression, then you have just saved yourself the headache of flying out a candidate for a potentially expensive interview. Let’s take a practical look at this newer and very useful approach with Plugged-in Pete.

There are services like Vipe that allow candidates to record answers to questions that the client specifically asks of the interviewees. Others include Hirevue, Recruitv, and LiveHire, but the interface & simplicity of Vipe seems to resonate with their users.
