Job interviews via videoconference were already common before Covid, and are probably even more so now - at least for a first screening. German bosses are often conservative and risk-avoiding (as the consequences of hiring the wrong person are huge, due to tight rules for firing employees), so a subsequent in-person appointment is common - and this benefits the job-seeker too, as he/she can get a first-hand impression of the company amd the surrounding town.
