(Columbus, Ohio and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania June 15, 2011) MBA Focus, the leader in MBA recruiting management systems and InterviewStream, the premier provider of video interviewing solutions, announced their technology partnership today. MBA Focus will add InterviewStream’s real-time video interviewing technology to its recruiting management system.

InterviewStream and MBA Focus have each transformed and streamlined MBA recruiting processes through interactive recruiting platforms that connect top MBA school candidates to leading corporations. The partnership gives both companies’ corporate clients 100% web-based video interviewing solutions through a seamless integrated platform.
“Internet-based video communication tools are a critical new way for MBA Focus’ corporate recruiting clients to reach and recruit top MBA school candidates at our 60+ partner schools worldwide.
