Are all interviews now setup via Zoom? I feel like Zoom doesn’t really give you a feel for a candidate. Is this a new trend. What happened to in person?

How interested can they be on a candidate via zoom for a role like payroll specialist? Without meeting the team etc? Or do they after make you come in person if they are really interested in you?

It's because of the pandemic. When everything goes back to normal they will continue doing physical or face to face interviews. But personally, I'd prefer zoom interviews. It's more convenient especially with the applicants since they don't need to travel just to get interviewed for less than 10-15 minutes.

Yes, especially for remote roles. This started because of COVID. Most companies are still in a WFH set up so most interviews are via Zoom.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
