Every company, office, or team has been forced to respond to the potential dangers of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Recruiters and hiring managers who normally depend on face-to-face meetings and interviews are quickly modifying their practices.

Many of them are replacing face-to-face interviews with online video meetings.

If your company does not already have an online video meeting solution, I’d recommend setting up a free Zoom account for conducting interviews in the weeks ahead.

Zoom offers unlimited one-on-one meetings (perfect for an interview).

Zoom also allows you to establish a personal meeting ID. Your unique meeting URL helps your recruiting prospects to quickly connect to your online meeting.

Finally, Zoom permits prospects to connect via phone or computer audio. Even if technical problems keep the video from working, you can still have a conversation with your prospect (similar to a phone interview).

Setting up an account is free and takes just a few minutes.

Whatever you do, don’t let this public health crisis keep you from recruiting.

People often consider changes when their “normal” is disrupted. It’s a great time to be in the game.
