DST International is using video-conferencing and computing technologies to recruit employees in Asia.

The financial services company has been recruiting graduate staff from Thailand for the past three years but has developed an online interview and application process. This means DST International's HR team will be able to hold interviews with candidates from across Thailand.

The digital system allows the employer to see how well applicants can cope with pressure, how well they will be able to work with other employees and if they are innovative and willing to try new things.

Anchalee Growse, human resources spokesperson at DST International, said: "The benefit of online selection is interviews can take place without the candidate having to take a leave of absence to travel to Bangkok. In addition to interviews, the HR team can test graduates in online code writing collaboration projects or aptitude testing."
