Video Resumes – The future is here

A number of experts in the Human resources domain are wondering if video resumes are the thing of the future. While they are right, one thing they are ignoring that it is already here. Vide resumes are being used rampantly by college students to showcase their skills like never before. Video resumes provide candidates with a platform to not only highlight their academic achievements, but also display creativity, out of the box thinking and showcase their personality.

Communication skills have become very important in today’s industry and employees want to know even before they decide to call a candidate for an interview, if he is right for the job. Therefore it is a win-win situation for both parties involved. Recruiters do not have to spend hours short listing resumes and reading through piles of paper and then be disappointed when they call the candidate in. And candidates do not risk being missed out because they have scored slightly below par but have stellar personalities.

A video resume allows candidates to get a fair chance for an interview and it also allows recruiters to make the right choice at step one. Koozba is a great portal for those who have identified this future trend. It allows candidates to shoot their video resumes and upload it at no cost at all so that more employees can have a look at their resumes online. The future is here, and people who are too shy to use them are definitely going to lose out on a great opportunity.
