Online Interviews

So many companies post their job opening on their website or on other website such as www.Hcareers.com for the hotels industry. It is great tools in the internet aura. Some companies ask you to fill out basic application such as your contact information and they give you the option to attache your resume. Other companies make you fill out everything including you job history, salary requirement, education, language and computer skills. And that is still fine because they may be afraid of virus attachment. Other companies are pushing it a little by adding few questionnaires to answers. They think that they are saving time by giving you bunch of interview questions online and you have to choose the answer. May be they are saving time but I assure you that they are loosing some good employees. I asked five good employees who work in one of the best hotel in the world. 4 of these five employees preferred faxing over a resume and cover letter, the fifth one said that if she had the time she would do it. The 5 employee agree that it discourages them from applying. I think this is very stupid system. How do they know you answer the questions and not you friend or any one else you know. Also, they don't see your facial reaction to the questions. They don’t see the gestures. Thy don’t see how calm or nervous the interviewee is. Technology is important in so many aspects of business, but human relations are still more important in hiring people.
