The coronavirus has permanently changed how companies hire new employees, with an emphasis on virtual vetting and interviews, according to the CEO of Indeed.
People being able to conduct an interview from the safety and convenience of their own home is going to change hiring forever. We believe this is the beginning of a massive secular shift. In April, we saw the number of requests for interviews to happen over video shoot up by 1,000%. Even as things have started to stabilize and the economy has opened up over the last 11 months, we've seen that continue to grow.
