20 Seconds is Enough to get an Impression

A recent study from the University of California, Berkeley found that it takes just 20 seconds of watching someone's video to get an impression of that person.  The study explains that in 20 seconds you'll be able to detect whether a person is genetically inclined to being trustworthy, kind or compassionate. Ziggeo was created on the premise that a short video would give you a good enough impression to know if the candidate was worthwhile meeting.  And indeed this study backs it up.   In fact, we originally set the video length to 20 seconds, but folks had asked for longer to gather more concrete information; as such, we raised the time limit to 2 minutes.  That's 10 times more than what you actually need to get an impression. ---- Ziggeo saves you from 30 minute interviews by watching candidates' short, pre-recorded videos.  Candidates can easily record themselves answering interviewers’ questions, and interviewers can privately view the videos at their convenience.  Spend 20 seconds -- save 30 minutes.
