I'm not saying this isn't happening, but I want to mention that I often refuse to do stuff that my interviewers ask me to. Reasons being any of: I consider it useless for the evaluation, I consider it doesn't correctly asses my expertise, I consider it would put me in a bad situation etc. Of course, I can do all this because the market allows me to do it.
- thefourthchime 4y agoHas that worked? Have you got any offers doing that?
- s1k3s 4y agoNone. I'm not using it to get more offers, I'm using it to save my time by skipping stuff I don't want to do.
- aliqot 4y agoWorked for me with a polite "I appreciate it but no thank you". I just said I don't take photos or appear on camera. It didn't stop me from being interviewed or hired.
- saddist0 4y agoIsn't facial expression and your communication skills considered a part of your "expertise"? I personally prefer asking the person to open the camera or reschedule to a later date if they can't.
- s1k3s 4y agoI personally agree which is why I also join every interview with my camera on. Objectively though you have to consider that the job market is a MARKET, and if the seller (candidate) considers they can do just fine without the camera (or anything else really) then you have to accept that fact and move on to another candidate if you can or just go forward with them without camera. Nobody owes anything to anyone here.
- ipaddr 4y agoRecently I did a few rounds of interviews. I found that I was bombing the phone only interviews but doing well with the camera on. I'm all in for basing part of the interview based on looks vs how someone sounds but I do think stereotypes play a part.
