I'm asking to better understand - can you think of ways to make an interview process more comfortable? What about 'blind' remote interviews (ie, no video, but audio)?
The company that wrote this blogpost, which I work for part-time, does exactly that. I think it's a massive improvement.
I like this idea, but what makes it different from a phone call? I avoid video chat whenever I can. I don't want to see myself in the screen. When I can just speak to an interviewer on the phone, I do better.
We do a shared code editor and VoIP. It really helps to not be able to see any facial expressions IMO. I've done like a hundred or so of these interviews.
Awesome! I hope more companies begin to do the same!
Voice interviews are biased against non-native speakers of the company's language.
That could be true, but communication has to be a point of evaluation for most jobs.
