[IPAC-List] Automated interview systems

[Lance Seberhagen]

I'm not a big fan of automated telephone "interviews" in which the 
candidate calls an 800 number and answers structured questions by 
pressing a number on the phone keypad.  If the candidate presses the 
wrong number by mistake, the candidate "fails" and the "interview" is 
abruptly ended.  If the candidate attempts to call back to re-start the 
interview, he/she is given a recorded message that says re-testing is 
not allowed.

I'm not sure if anyone has perfected an automated video interview system 
yet, but interactive videos are a promising new technology from 
ClicFlic.com, based in the Washington, DC area.  Mike Russiello, CEO of 
ClicFlic is a member of PTC/MW and is the former founder and CEO of 
Brainbench, Inc (now part of Previsor, Inc), which specializes in 
computerized adaptive testing.  See what ChicFlic.com can do.  This 
might be the answer.

I'm interested in individual assessment products as well as "suite" approaches (e.g., a talent management system).  Looking for something with high user (hiring supervisor) adoption.
