FAQ

A Resureel is a video resume which is a one to three minute video that enables jobseekers to showcase themselves to potential employers. A video resume gives jobseekers an opportunity to detail their work experience, interests and future aspirations far beyond a traditional resume.  Further information is available throughout the Resureel website, feel free to peruse. 

A Resureel can only be filmed, edited and uploaded by a Resureel technician.  There are three key components of Resureel's content, first is the consistency of the interview, second is the quality of the video resume, and third is the relevancy of the questions and answers for the jobseeker.

Whenever hiring, discrimination information should always be avoided and hiring decisions should be based solely on qualifications/strengths/experiences of the candidate.  By law, any employer may not base any decisions about potential hires on any discriminatory information.  This is an important point to consider before viewing and hiring from any video resumes, including Resureels.  Clearly it is important within any jobseeker's resume or video resume to not include any information detailing race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability.  The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has concluded that as a hiring employer, just by viewing a resume or viewing a video resume, a job seeker has not become an applicant.  

"Recordkeeping aside, the key under Title VII and the ADA is for employers and recruiters to continue to structure their recruitment and selection processes to be nondiscriminatory and to consistently focus on the job qualifications of all job seekers, regardless of technology or of the information available by virtue of that technology."

While Resureel can not be responsible in any way for any actions regarding discrimination, it always is a good idea to keep a very basic principle in mind:  Never hire based on any type of discrimination involving race, color, religion, sex, national orgin, age or disability.

Resureel will allow your company to make informed decisions faster.  Instead of wasting time with candidates who may or may not be what their resume has described, you will see how jobseekers function in a normal interview where questions are answered, experience is defined, ambition is spotlighted,  and conciseness and professionalism are portrayed.  

Ultimately by previewing Resureels, you will save time and resources by finding people who really are what their resume describes and more.  How many times have you invited four or five candidates into your office and had all four or five of them be what you expected?  Or how often does a candidate sound great on paper but then when you are in front of them, it is quite clear that they were not the ones who had wrote their resume?  This wasted time is frustrating and valuable.  A Resureel can afford you the most efficient way to peruse people without the headache of wasted time.

Within minutes any hiring manager can view as many Resureels as a search will produce.  If you would like a co-worker or other associate hiring manager to view a candidate's Resureel, you can quickly access it at a future time by saving the search and/or saving the individual Resureel.  At the point you wish to contact the candidate directly, simply purchase Contact Credits.  It is that efficient, you search, you find the right candidates, and you contact them!  

If you are interested in a temporary employment arrangement, Resureel also accommodates this.  Within each profile available for viewing, on the top toolbar, if the Resureel candidate is available for Temporary work, you will be able to request further information by simply populating the form which appears.
