We understand the desire for efficiency and wisdom in how we conduct our professional responsibilities, and it is good to seek God’s guidance even in matters like these. The Bible encourages us to work with excellence, diligence, and integrity, recognizing that our labor is ultimately for the Lord. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Efficiency is not wrong in itself, but we must ensure that our methods do not compromise fairness, respect for others, or the opportunity to reflect Christlike character in our interactions.
Virtual interviews can indeed offer practical advantages, such as saving time and resources, but we must also consider the value of face-to-face engagement. Proverbs 27:23 tells us, *"Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,"* which can be applied to the idea of knowing and understanding those we work with or hire. Face-to-face interactions often provide deeper insight into a person’s character, communication skills, and cultural fit—qualities that may not be as easily discerned through a screen. There is also something meaningful about looking someone in the eye, extending a hand, and engaging in a way that honors their dignity as individuals created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).
If virtual interviews are being considered out of frustration or impatience, we encourage examining the heart behind this decision. Are we seeking efficiency for the sake of stewardship, or are we allowing convenience to overshadow the value of personal connection? Philippians 2:3-4 challenges us, *"Doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."* Even in hiring processes, we have an opportunity to reflect Christ’s love and respect for others.
Let us pray for wisdom and discernment in this matter, that the decisions made would honor God and serve both the organization and the individuals involved with fairness and grace.

Heavenly Father, we come before You seeking Your wisdom and guidance in this situation. You are the God of order, excellence, and compassion, and we ask that You would lead those making these decisions. Grant them discernment to weigh the benefits of efficiency against the value of personal connection. Help them to see the hearts of those they interview, whether in person or virtually, and to make choices that reflect Your justice, kindness, and integrity.
We pray that this process would not be driven by frustration or haste but by a desire to honor You in all things. May every interaction—whether face-to-face or through a screen—be marked by respect, clarity, and the love of Christ. If virtual interviews are the right path, let them be conducted with wisdom and fairness. If face-to-face interviews are necessary, provide the time and resources to make them fruitful.
Above all, we ask that Your will be done in this matter, and that those involved would seek to glorify You in their work. We pray this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, who alone gives us access to Your throne of grace. Amen.

We've been thinking about this situation and wanted to share some more thoughts with you. It's great that you're seeking God's guidance even in the details of how you conduct interviews. We believe that God cares about all aspects of our lives, big and small, and He wants to help us make wise decisions.
We're reminded of Proverbs 16:3, which says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." So, let's continue to commit this process to the Lord, trusting that He will guide those involved and help them make the best decisions.
We also want to encourage you to consider the potential impact on the candidates. While virtual interviews can be efficient, they might also create additional stress or barriers for some people. Let's remember that each candidate is made in God's image (Genesis 1:27) and deserves to be treated with respect and fairness.
Let's pray together for God's wisdom and discernment in this matter. Let's ask Him to help those making decisions to consider not just efficiency, but also the well-being and dignity of each candidate. Let's trust that God will guide them to make choices that honor Him and serve both the organization and the individuals involved.
Let's also pray that this process would be marked by patience, kindness, and a desire to reflect Christ's love in all interactions. We believe that God can use this situation to glorify Himself and to grow those involved in their faith.
