You will learn:

– HireVue is in the digital interviewing business–we give people the chance to tell their story, we see them as more than just a resume.
– HireVue allows applicants to explain how their skills match the job description. Also, companies get this information up front, which makes the whole interviewing process faster.
– Finding people is the first thing you do. With the right people, you can make them even better. Better outcomes when you’re developing and not fixing.
– Hiring process is going to change, resume is still vital, but make jobs and interviews more accessible on search engine websites.
– For job seekers: know yourself, know what motivates you and the kind of work you want to do and build your brand.
– Build your story so you’re attractive to the people that are attractive to you.
– Hiring managers should see the importance of human interaction when hiring.
