I hadn't thought about the concern regarding a requesting a video interview for the first interview. Our team recently needed to hire a developer - something we haven't had to do since before the pandemic. Considering the shift to work from home and video conferencing, I just immediately scheduled a video call with the interviewee. I didn't even think about the ramifications of this; how it could be stressful for the person, and I especially didn't think about ageism.
Thank you for shining a light on this topic.
