The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the US federal agency that enforces Title VII and the other federal non-discrimination laws, has maintained a neutral stance on the use of video interviews. Instead, the EEOC has directed employers to its guidance and technical assistance regarding employee selection procedures and related guidance that it has issued of a general nature. In addition, the EEOC has itself indicated that it would video interviews where needed.
We feel video interviewing such as iVideo Recruiter actually helps prevent discrimination by allowing disadvantaged individuals that may not otherwise have a convenient way to schedule in-person multiple job interviews a way to provide additional insight as to their character and qualifications. Recent EEOC surveys suggested 90% of companies now use social media to vet candidates during the hiring processing and the use of video is a useful extension of that.
