The number of people working from home has led to a surge in demand for flexible coworking environments and hourly meeting room rentals. That's because, sometimes, face-to-face interaction is better than a Zoom call. This is particularly true for sensitive operations such as conducting interviews.
A small, fully equipped meeting space is a dedicated environment where you can talk free from interruptions.
Interviewing in a neutral, private setting leads to more open and honest conversations. Your company also appears more professional by conducting interviews in a more commercial environment.
