The recruitment industry indirectly generates its fair share of "carbon" and we should be looking at practical ways to reduce its impact on the environment.

One of the biggest carbon costs in recruitment is wasted journeys to go to job interviews.  Thousands of candidates go to interviews each year by bus, taxi, car, train and plane.  Yet, when they arrive at the employers office (sometimes before the interview even starts) they know that it just isn't right with the feeling perhaps being reciprocated by the employer who, in the first moments of the interview, realises that this candidate is "not quite what we are looking for". 

Either way money, time and the environment's precious resources are wasted - can we afford for this to continue?

So, how can you simultaneously improve the interview conversion rate and protect the environment at the same time? 

At The SeeV™ we believe that the pragmatic use of technology and a willingness to adopt change within tried and tested process methodology is all it takes.

This facilitation of Interview from Anywhere (IA) enables those recruiters who practice it to claim with some measurable justification that they are reducing their carbon footprint.

Take a look at these figures to see how much you can "save":

• A) One recruiter completing 10 candidate interviews per week using The SeeV™ in conjunction with IA could quite easily avoid 500 miles of travel.

•  

• Extend this to a year:

• 500 miles x 50 weeks = 25,000 miles SAVED

•  

• 10 users with the same level of activity:

• 10 x 500 miles x 50 weeks = 250,000 miles SAVED

• B) 500 Jobseekers using The SeeV™ each saving 1000 miles per annum by not travelling to "waste of time interviews" interviews as a result of making an application using The SeeV™ = half a million miles saved.
