might be worth chatting with a lawyer on this - I know that pictures on CVs in the US are frowned upon due the the discrimination they may cause (age, gender, race, etc); how do you ensure you mitigate this risk when passing a video of someone around the office?

Interviews are not illegal and they are typically a very important part of the hiring process, so I don't see this as a problem.
