Have you ever conducted an oral interview, and wondered how the person before you could possibly be the same person that sent you that marvelous resume?

If you have ever wasted time and money interviewing candidates who did not match, in person, what they appeared on paper, or on the phone, then video interviews can help you better target scarce resources.

Now you can save management time and reduce candidate travel expense through the use of pre-screening candidate video interviews. LGI can arrange video screening interviews of potential candidates:

* Over 240 interview locations throughout the U.S.

* Trained interviewers conduct the interviews in the candidate�s local Area

* You identify the candidates

* You can design the interview questions (we'll help you)

Don't eliminate potentially qualified candidates or restrict your search to 'local area only" because of budgetary constraints or scheduling conflicts. A 30 minute video-interview affords search committees and appointing authorities the opportunity to see and hear candidate responses to the questions typically asked during the oral interview, enabling assessment of communication, interpersonal and presentation skills.

The Process is simple and works like this:

1. You provide LGI with a list of candidates selected through your resume review.

2. LGI arranges to have the candidates contacted and interviewed.

3. Interviewers use a pre-formatted series of questions, specific to the position, which have been previously designed by you and your organization (LGI will assist you to design behavior descriptive and other types of the questions).

4. Upon completion of each interview, the tapes are sent via priority mail directly to the designated individual in your organization for review and evaluation.

The Cost:

$210 per 30 minute interview (7-10 candidates)
$230 per 30 minute interview (4-6 candidates)
$250 per 30 minute interview. (1-3 candidates)

Normal turn-around time is 7-10 working days. Call us at 1-253-565-6253 for additional details.

BENEFITS OF THE SERVICE

1. Significant reductions in travel costs for candidate pre-screening.

2. Minimize management time for scheduling and conducting initial pre-screening interviews. Allows optimum time utilization for management.

3. Broaden the scope of the candidate search - the candidate "pool" does not have to be limited due to time, budgetary or geographic constraints.

4. Assess quantitative candidate capabilities simultaneously with qualitative aspects of communication, interpersonal and presentation skills.

5. Tapes provide an objective evaluation tool - interviews by a "neutral" third party are less subjective and require straightforward responses to specific questions.

6. Tapes allow full attention to candidate responses - no need to rely on hastily taken notes, memory or second-hand reporting.

7. Tapes can be reviewed individually or collectively by selection committees, human resources and hiring authorities.

8. Tapes can be reviewed jointly with recruiters/consultants for a collective consensus while eliminating "time and expense" interviewing fees.

9. Eliminates candidates that are "window-shoppers" - demonstrates candidate willingness and commitment to the selection process.

10. Enhances EEO/AA compliance by providing equal comparison - each candidate responds to an identical set of questions.
