HOUSTON, March 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RCRT), a leading AI-powered and video hiring platform with the world’s largest network of recruiters, presented to Proactive Investors its vision of the impact of video on the recruiting process.
With approximately 155 million people employed in the U.S. and annual voluntary turnover between 22-27% of the workforce, there are about 34 million people to be hired in a given year. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average corporate job posting received 250 resumes, which means companies are collectively reviewing approximately 8.5 billion resumes for their open roles.
“COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on many of today’s business and consumer behaviors, which means now is the time to reshape the traditional recruiting process,” said Evan Sohn, CEO of Recruiter.com Group. “Just as tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom have replaced in-person interviews, Recruiter.com’s Video platform is the lead-in to improving the sourcing and screening process,” added Sohn. “Now more than ever, we need technology that enhances both speed and accuracy for hiring teams. Recruiter.com Video will have that effect.”
As the world increasingly shifts toward a primarily remote workforce, employers are using digital video tools to replicate in-person engagement with employees and candidates regardless of where they’re located. In the world of recruiting, video has mainly been used for late-stage interviews and onboarding new hires. Given that hiring managers’ pain points fall squarely in the sourcing and screening stage, video interviews may be implemented much earlier in the hiring process to drive both efficiency and cost-saving for employers.
