The No-Meet Job InterviewThe No-Meet Job Interview

Vidint Corp., which has developed a Web-based video-interviewing service through which recruiters can interview college candidates without actually meeting them, is working with job-recruitment site CampusCareerCenter.com to raise Vidint's profile among employers. CampusCareerCenter hopes to get more visibility among students.

New this fall, the service was co-developed by National Corporate College Consultants, a student-recruiting outsourcer. Vidint lets a recruiter record job-interview questions that are shown online to students the recruiter has become interested in. Responses are recorded via Webcams and shown to the recruiter. Cameras have been installed at 19 U.S. colleges and universities, including Carnegie Mellon, Howard University, Michigan State, and Penn State.

Mike Iserson, president of National Corporate College Consultants and co-founder of Vidint, thinks that "going on campus and talking to a lot of college kids is a huge waste of time," when 12 interviews may yield only one hire.

CampusCareerCenter runs a job-search database for college students and a candidate-search service for recruiters called CandidateConnect.com.
