Candidates apply by video

Features

Everything you need
to hire with confidence

AI Video Scoring

Every application is automatically analyzed for communication quality, role alignment, and cultural signals β€” you get a ranked list before you watch anything.

Company Culture Profiles

Build a public page with team videos, values, and work environment. Candidates research before applying β€” fewer but better applications.

Custom Video Questions

Design questions specific to each role. Ask about values, motivation, problem-solving β€” anything a CV can't tell you.

Talent Pool Discovery

Browse our candidate database and send interest signals proactively. Build your pipeline before you need to hire.

AI Reasoning & Insights

Alongside each score, read a plain-language explanation of why a candidate ranked where they did.

Async-first hiring

No scheduling back-and-forth. Candidates apply on their own time, you review on yours β€” the whole early-stage process happens without a single calendar invite.
