                        Interviewing on screen
The problems of global recruitment are disappearing rapidly. The reason for this lies in the technology that could redefine the traditional job interview. (0).....H..... These give them access to the global recruitment market, enabling them to interview and assess their choice of candidates on screen, for example via video-conference link, CD-ROM display or electronic file transfer.
The development of the use of technology as a method of recruitment has brought considerable benefits to recruitment practices. For example, it means great savings in terms of both time and the travel budget. 【P1】______.One problem with face-to-face interviews is that body language is bound to play an important part in them. 【P2】______.This necessarily leads to an inherent unfairness in such interviews. Putting distance between candidate and interviewer with the use of a video camera can help to overcome this problem as body language will be less obvious. 【P3】______.It could prove an unfair advantage, or possibly disadvantage, if used only with those unable to attend a face-to-face interview.
A great deal has been made in recent years of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), which includes the science of body language and its value in job interviews. 【P4】______. Others, however, reject the new technology simply because they are afraid of it. The benefits of technology, though, are too great to ignore, when one considers that the best person for a particular job may decide not to attend an interview if he or she has to travel a considerable distance.
Appointing senior executives is increasingly seen as a global business. Companies which intend to select candidates for jobs from a wider pool will have little choice but to bear the cost of overseas travel to conventional interviews, or to embrace the new technology. 【P5】______. Inevitably, companies will be seeking more cost-effective ways of recruiting quality candidates, and for this, virtual interviewing may offer a solution.
The greatest value of face-to-face interviews is at the stage of final selection. 【P6】______. Nevertheless, there are many positive aspects of using technology as a recruitment tool. Times are changing, and unless the die-hards who ignore new technology change with them, they may find themselves left behind.

B We are instinctively inclined to feel more positive to people who are similar to us.

H Employers now have at their disposal a range of communication tools.
