Can we interview potential job candidates online through a video or Internet-based system, instead of having them come to our office in person?

Yes, using a video or Internet-based system to interview candidates is an alternative to the “face-to-face” interview that can save employers and job candidates time and money.

Laws Still Apply

The same rules for the interview regarding potential discrimination issues would still apply using these alternatives, such as asking all candidates the same, nondiscriminatory questions; providing reasonable accommodation for the interview, as required by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act
