GreenJobInterview.com announced today that customers of the browser-based on-demand video interviewing service are experiencing and anticipating cost reductions for initial job candidate interviews of greater than 600 percent. “Companies typically spend an average of $650 to $2,000 for an initial interview with a job candidate when travel outside the local area is involved,” said Greg Rokos, president of GreenJobInterview.com. “Now, they can set up a live, real-time GreenJobInterview and see candidates face-to-face with NO travel and without having to leave their desks for a cost of $49.99 per half hour – and they only pay for the time used.” This fee is also in contrast to typical business center videoconferencing services that cost an average of $450 per interview and still require travel on the part of the candidate. With GreenJobInterview.com, the only equipment required is a webcam, unlike the huge investments required for traditional office-installed videoconferencing, so hiring companies can now see immediate and significant cost reductions for early-stage interviews.

Rokos continued his comments on ROI, “A large healthcare company has spent a million dollars per year just on travel expenses for job interviewing. And yet they hire only 15 percent of those interviewed! That’s the real nightmare for hiring managers. Flying in a candidate, booking time with key executives to interview them, setting up a conference room, and then realizing in the first 15 minutes that this is the wrong person for the job. It’s a huge waste of time and money and it’s embarrassing. GreenJobInterview.com lets hiring professionals meet their candidates, whether local, cross-country or international for the first time in a live video interview. The candidate doesn’t leave home and the hiring manager and all other executives stay at their desks. If it’s clear in 15 minutes that this isn’t the right person, very little time and money is wasted. In fact, since GreenJobInterview costs only $49.99 per half hour, an efficient interviewer can significantly amortize a very small investment based on how many people they can interview in 30 minutes.”
