InterviewStudio.com, a pre-funding entrepreneurial startup in Bellevue, Wash., has been in ìstealth modeî for 18 months developing an industry changing Web application that creates a huge shift in the hiring process for any company.

Job seekers can no longer throw a resume on the pile and expect an interview. Executive-level candidates, in particular, need a way to differentiate themselves and get in front of hiring managers amid this flood of online resumes, and an increasingly crowded social networking space.

Employers as well need a way to more efficiently and effectively screen the overwhelming volume of candidates and reduce the time to hire.

InterviewStudio is leveraging this tremendous need for candidate visibility, and the burgeoning market growth in video resumes and other online screening tools. They are pushing the limits of this game-changing shift in responsibility from the employer to the candidate. InterviewStudio offers the first complete tool for job seekers to perform most of the employer due diligence upfront before an interview, unveiling the optimum company/candidate match.

As an employer or recruiter, imagine screening candidates online, quickly and on your own schedule through a comprehensive presentation contained in one InterviewStudio showcase. InterviewStudio houses candidate showcases that include a resume, a video interview, their professional assessment tests, endorsements from other workers and links to other data about them in Internet search engines and LinkedIn.

In a few minutesí time--much less than a first interviewóthe hiring manager can make a ìfirst interviewî decision to move forward or not. This ability to screen candidates upfront can save significant investments in time, assessment testing and travel costs.

The team at InterviewStudio originated from a15 year-old privately held recruiting firm performing retained recruiting assignments for employers who needed quality hires quickly. Time and money were always factors in their engagements. Even though technology has made large strides with applicant tracking systems, resume databases, keyword matching systems and online Q&A screening tools, there still is a corporate culture match that is nebulous until the first five minutes of the face-to-face interview.

Candidates can use InterviewStudio to build their complete online presentation and send a link out to any employer or recruiter of their choice. Employers can prescreen candidates at InterviewStudio (www.interviewstudio.com) before deciding which candidates to spend time with. InterviewStudioís methodology promises to save from two to eight weeks in each hiring cycle, essential in the continuing war for talent.

Employers can now offer the InterviewStudio showcase builder for free to their executive-level candidates by simply placing a link to InterviewStudio on their career pages and job postings Candidates, employers and recruiters will eventually pay a small fee to use the system. Candidates who want to spend an additional fee for a professional videographer to tape their video interview portion, instead of doing it themselves on webcam or video cam, will have the option beginning in September 2007 for several larger metro areas.
