As part of its commitment to being at the cutting-edge of online recruitment, Akhtaboot - the career network has launched their video application feature for employers. This feature provides companies with the option of asking job seekers to record and save a 60-second video answer to a question specified by the company as an application requirement, resulting in more specific and targeted candidates.

Rather than an employer just posting a simple job description and receiving CV applications, the video functionality will allow recruiters to do a preliminary screening of the candidates’ communication skills without getting involved in the time-consuming process of interviews and practically evaluate how they present their experience and skills, all from within the Akhtaboot online platform.

Mohamad Haj Hasan, COO and Cofounder of Akhtaboot said:

“We believe that this feature will add a completely new dimension to the recruitment process in a way that only the Internet can. I have personally tried this feature out, and I was wowed with the results! It basically allows employers to have a mini-interview and significantly simplifies and streamlines the recruitment process. We are very excited to offer this feature to our clients.”

The video feature also aims to allow job seekers to personally market themselves by presenting a quick video that speaks directly to employers, thus helping them stand out and land their dream job.
