With changing times, the way of hiring is significantly changed[1], right from the physical interviews to video call meetings[2]; the last decade has witnessed the paradigm shift in the approach of employers for hiring.
The digital hiring process has an edge over the conventional way of hiring. The digital hiring can significantly reduce the infrastructure cost, time, unnecessary traveling and can provide a broader candidate reach to the employer by minimizing the effect of geographical barriers.
