HireMeNow.com, an online temporary and contract employment marketplace, announced today some formidable survey results indicating the age of video resumes has arrived, with more than 4 out of 5 hiring managers willing to view a video resume.
Three hundred human resource and business managers were surveyed in December 2007, and of them, 83 percent indicated they were willing to view a video resume as a part of the hiring process. Sixty-three percent immediately responded yes, and, of the remaining 37 percent who initially said no, maybe or don’t know, 55 percent indicated they likely would view a video resume after viewing a satisfactory written resume. That’s a total of 83 percent of respondents whose hiring decision could be impacted by receiving and viewing a video resume. And, while many respondents had not actually seen a video resume yet, only one respondent who had seen a video resume indicated she would not view a video resume again.
