One-way VIDEO Screen
Reveal the fit a resume won’t
Allow candidates to self-record answers to interview questions and gain deep insight quickly.
Give candidates the experience they need to shine
Boost comfort and confidence
Allow applicants to control the interview environment—from where they are to what they wear. They’ll feel secure enough to put their best foot forward.
Avoid putting job-seekers on the spot
Screens can be intimidating. Let candidates rehearse, record, and re-record interview answers to reduce pressure and improve prep.
Work with busy schedules
Take the stress out of squeezing meetings into tight schedules or standard working hours. Anyday, anytime one-way video interviews are convenient and save everyone time.
Improve role understanding
Share company values and culture clearly with customizable branded content. Communicate expectations of the job, team, organization, and hiring process right from the start.
Build more diverse teams
Meet people, not resumes
Resumes are poor indicators of someone’s ability to succeed, and they leave reviewers more vulnerable to bias. Ask skills-based questions to really get to know candidates, then make decisions using data—not gut feeling.
Support neurodiverse talent
Make reasonable adjustments to meet each applicant’s unique needs. Put them at ease with retake opportunities or extra time to prepare, and provide helpful tips along the way.
Evaluate fairly and consistently
Combat bias by asking the same questions in each interview. You’ll give each candidate a more fair interview, and you’ll be able to compare responses with ease.
Reach across borders and barriers
Don’t just look for applicants who share the same education, birthplace, or work experience. Open up your pool of qualified candidates, and you’ll build stronger, more diverse, and more innovative teams.
Showcase your organization with a rich brand-immersive experience
Never miss an opportunity to connect with candidates. Humanize an otherwise automated screening process with branding elements like intro and outro videos, hiring team videos, and more. With personal touches on each asynchronous interview, you’ll generate excitement and provide applicants with a chance to connect more deeply with your brand.

Fill your interview pipeline quickly and meet candidates faster
Traditional screening methods require a lot of time and effort. With on-demand interviews, recruiters can review 6-10 recorded responses in the same time it would take to screen one candidate with a phone call. You’ll find more talent, more quickly.
Improve collaboration with your hiring team
Traditional screening interviews are often completed by one HR professional at a time. When you use recorded responses instead, videos can be seen by all members of the hiring team. You’ll get more buy-in from colleagues and a more collaborative decision-making process.

Frequently asked questions
-
Just like it sounds, one-way video interviews engage just one person at a time: the applicant. Instead of a back-and-forth conversation between the interviewer and job candidate, each applicant is provided a link that includes interview questions. They then record and submit their responses for hiring teams to review.

Hiring teams first decide which questions they’d like to ask each candidate. Questions are then saved to the one-way video interview platform.
