answer:Who pays for the video interview? If you do and you think it’s worthwhile, then hey why not. If the candidate pays for the video interview then you will get a self-selecting group of candidates who can afford it. I know you’d give up the ‘before hand’ aspect of video interviews, but why not interview people with Skype? Actual live interaction can tell you more than a canned interview, and the candidate gets to meet you too. Win-win.
