Scalability and Security

Most video interviewing providers are focused on a very specific customer demographic whether it be Fortune 500s or small, localized organizations. As a result, the platforms are built with a specific company size in mind. When evaluating video interviewing providers, it's important that the vendor you select has experience working with organizations of all sizes so you can grow together.
