Over time, however, it became clear that video conferencing was redundant in a world gone wild for Skype. That’s why Expr3ss! developed Showreel. “The traditional hiring process is full of pitfalls and time wasters, especially when it comes to scheduling and performing interviews. Our goal at Expr3ss! is to make the process more accurate and less expensive for job seekers and employers… Read More
