How Remote Recruiting Works: From Interview to Hire
Remote recruiting is defined as conducting all interviews and assessments digitally, allowing recruiters to source talent across borders without in-person meetings. The article stresses thorough preparation and selecting the right mix of tools, noting Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Microsoft Teams and Jitsi as popular options and recommending at least two tools to guard against technical issues. It outlines the flow of the process: pre-briefing candidates about the interview, remote first interviews, and the possibility of online tests via Testdome or DevSkiller to verify hard skills, with results handled remotely. A remote probation day or demo tasks can simulate real work, and onboarding is also performed remotely, with access provisioning and IT readiness before the first day. The piece cites Lionstep's Claudia Bolliger-Winkler, CEO and founder, whose firm focuses on AI-assisted recruiting. The overall message: remote recruiting can save time, widen the talent pool, and require deliberate preparation to ensure a smooth candidate experience.

Zoom's Marketing Rebuild: Beyond Pandemic Fame
At AdExchanger's Programmatic IO, Zoom's VP of brand and content, Josh Reed, discussed the company's marketing overhaul. Despite 99% unaided brand awareness, Zoom is pigeonholed as a video call app. Reed highlighted the 'iceberg' problem: being known for one thing while other products like contact center, events platform, VoIP, and AI tools remain invisible. Under CMO Kim Storin, Zoom consolidated marketing functions, expanded into linear TV, creator partnerships, and affiliate marketing. They launched the Solopreneur 50 program and are experimenting with commission-based creator models. Measurement is shifting from last-touch to multi-touch attribution using Snowflake as a data spine. Zoom is also adapting to the 'dark funnel', where B2B research starts in LLMs and AI chatbots, requiring a new approach to meet buyers where they are.
Attention Measurement Key for CTV Ads
At ADWEEK Exchange in Dallas, industry leaders discussed how attention data can improve Connected TV (CTV) advertising. TVision CEO Yan Liu showcased that attention, not just reach, drives conversions. Panelists from Zoom, AT&T, and St. Jude described using CTV for targeted storytelling, while Viant's Chris Vanderhook highlighted the acquisition of IRIS.TV for title-level content signals. The event concluded with advice to use attention data for real-time campaign optimization.
Meta launches Muse for Small Business, targeting enterprise AI
Meta expanded its AI agent Muse to small businesses with Muse for Small Business, initially available in the US and Canada, following the successful launch of the Muse app in early September. The agent integrates with over 20 tools including Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, Asana, QuickBooks, Intuit, Canva, Stripe, Box, Zoom, and Notion, and automates tasks like customer communication, cash flow management, inventory, website creation, to-do identification, sales analysis, and anomaly detection. Unlike traditional chatbots, users can set concrete goals, and the agent analyzes data from connected apps to derive actions, executing multi-step workflows. It uses a freemium model with premium plans at $20 and $100 per month, surpassing three million downloads. Data privacy concerns have been raised, and Amazon requested removal from Muse due to lack of consent. Muse does not share VM data with Meta's ads system. The service targets 200 million SMBs; Jefferies estimates $10.8B subscription revenue by 2027. Meta's stock rose 25% in September, amid competition from OpenAI's 'dots'.
