Virtual Web Meetings
General Overview
Virtual meetings have become an integral part of the interview process, providing both candidates and employers with flexibility and convenience. In today's digital age, virtual interviews offer a seamless way to connect regardless of geographical boundaries, saving time and resources. From initial screenings to final rounds, video interviews allow for efficient communication and assessment of candidates' qualifications from the comfort of their own space. Despite the distance, virtual meetings enable a face-to-face interaction that helps in evaluating non-verbal cues and overall fit for the position.
Remember to…
Prepare

Use Platform Tools
Utilize collaboration tools such as chat, polls, and shared documents to enhance interaction and engagement among participants.
Manage Time Well
Stick to the agenda and allocate time for each agenda item to ensure the meeting stays on track and doesn't run over the scheduled time.
Follow Up
