As nearly almost all recruiting, interviewing and onboarding is conducted solely online, do you/Human Resources request that a candidate has their camera on during calls? Why or why not? Interview

What an interesting question. I’ve never been asked (and I’ve been interviewing) but I feel like it’s implied during interviews that cameras are on...?

Agreed! I assumed every single one of my interviews was going to be video on, I feel like it would be really strange for the interviewee to never show their face throughout the process. If you’re trying to score a new job I don’t see why you wouldn’t have the camera on since in the beforetimes you’d physically be at their office for the interview

Think of it like this. There's no rule that says you can't wear a paper bag over your head for an in-person interview. But there are less than a few people who could do that and walk away with a job.

Highly doubt it. If anything, I think people would lean heavier on the references than the skills side of that equation, which would likely increase bias.

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.

If you’re in the final stages of interviewing with multiple companies at the same time and they inquire about other offers and interviews, should you tell them? Obviously not who the other company is but at least that you’re interviewing / expecting another offer?
