I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies. 7 - Lawrence Bossidy Former COO of GE and author Virtual Interviews Custom Web Applications Selection Technology 7 7
With on-demand interviews, we know early in the interview process that we don t have a match or the candidate is not the right fit. If a candidate doesn t meet the needs of an urban school district, for example, the committee can easily move on to the next candidate without having to sit through an entire interview. - Austin Independent School District Virtual Interviews 8
