  • Make sure the candidates are added as contacts prior to the scheduled interview.
  • For technical reasons, it is advised to keep the number of people present in the room to a minimum; three to four people is best. You may ask the candidates’ permission to have their interview recorded so that other committee members can view the interview. After the recordings are viewed and a decision is made, then the recordings may be deleted.
  • On-site ooVoo technical support is now available for GVSU Faculty and Staff who would like assistance when conducting an ooVoo interview or conference. For more information on how to schedule a student technician visit our ooVoo support reservation page.

NOTE:  All classrooms on the Allendale, Holland and Pew Campuses are permanently equipped with a web cam/mic for conducting ooVoo conferences.
