InterviewCAM technology slashes games recruiting risks
London, Wimbledon, June 2, 2006.
New InterviewCAM technology on offer from Interactive
Selection, the market leader for recruitment working only in
computer games and interactive entertainment, has
significantly improved the chances of job move success for
both employer and job seeker and cut the cost of
international transfers.
InterviewCAM technology using desktop webcams and Skype
software is on offer to all Interactive Selection clients.
The ability for potential employers to interview candidates
on the other side of the world without moving from their desk
at no cost brings the old phone interview into the 21st
Century.
A surprising number of job offers in games development are
made without the job seeker meeting the line manager face to
face. This technological breakthrough from Interactive
Selection will fast diminish the chance that this lack of
face to face meeting with lead to job move disaster.
"This will revolutionise the long distance job interview"
commented David Smith, Managing Director of Interactive
Selection. "Too often international hires are made following
2 or 3 phone conversations and this creates the real risk of
hiring failure. The increased confidence in seeing your new
hire or new boss, full screen, for as long as you like at no
cost is a 'no brainer' for all those involved in recruitment.
We have been using InterviewCAM technology inter-office and
inter-consultant for a while and now offer this to all our
clients."

potential clients can be organized by contacting David Smith
or an Interactive Selection consultant.
