Technical and User-Oriented Prerequisites for Video CV Web-Based Recruitment Platform

Youth unemployment tends to be higher than in other age groups mainly because young people represent an inexperienced labour force. Some authors also believe it is due to an inability to match the qualified workforce to vacant positions. The importance of enabling young people to participate equally in the labour market is of the essence for economic growth. One of the attempts to tackle this issue was addressed through the Erasmus+ project CUVID, aimed at providing young people a way to present themselves in video-based form. This paper analyses quality standards for video CV platforms. For this purpose, 19 expert interviews with HR managers were conducted to identify their expectations towards video CVs. Based on the analysis of expert interviews, a recommendations summary with technical and user-oriented prerequisites was created, along with requirements and a transferability model for video CVs in the form of the CUVID platform.
