“Show me what you’re made of.”

Having video call-interviews with promising overseas candidates is one of the ways MOO is growing with the best people while keeping a lid on its costs.

“Asking a potential employee to travel to the UK for a first interview is costly, so we talk to prospective candidates over a video call and ask them to show us samples of their design work,” says Lisa Rodwell, Marketing Director.

Calling over Skype to the 140 countries they ship to also costs them considerably less than calls from phones did. “It’s essential to keep costs as low as possible in a start-up business,” says Richard Moross, CEO. “Skype calls allow us to keep call costs to a minimum without compromising on quality.”

They’re saving time, too.

Creative teams in the UK and US regularly collaborate via video calls, meaning more time is spent actually doing the work instead of travelling to talk about it. They also send files instantly over Skype which beats waiting on emails, plus when they do have to travel, they keep in touch with the office via Skype thanks to laptops and a broadband dongle.
