One-Way Video Interviews for Volume Recruitment

Record your screening questions once. Candidates reply on their own time via video — RecView transcribes every answer and turns it into a structured candidate card on the candidate record in your ATS. Two birds, one stone: a fast screen for volume roles and rich candidate data that lands in your ATS without anyone typing a thing.

What it does

Record once, screen at volume.

Every candidate gets the same set of recorded questions — your prompts, your tone, your screen. They reply on their own time via video; RecView transcribes every answer and distils it into a structured candidate card. Motivation, notice period, salary expectation, location flexibility, work pattern, compensation drivers — all extracted verbatim, all timestamped against the transcript.

The card lands on the candidate record in your ATS, alongside the original video and the full transcript. No double-entry, no consultants typing notes from a recording — the data is already there.

Volume recruiters get two birds with one stone: a consistent, high-signal screen for every applicant and a rich candidate dataset that lands in your ATS without anyone typing a thing. Your consultant isn’t writing CVs from notes any more — they’re reading the candidate’s own answers, with the structured fields already extracted.

  • Record your questions once. Set the prompts on video; every candidate answers the same screen on their own time.
  • Structured candidate card. Motivation, notice, salary, location, work pattern — extracted from every video reply.
  • Full video transcripts. Every answer transcribed verbatim with speaker-labelled timestamps you can scrub through.
  • Built for volume. Send one link to a hundred applicants. Replies arrive on their own time, cards build as they come in.
  • Consistent for every candidate. Same questions, same format. No scheduling juggling, no off-script tangents.
  • Synced to your ATS. Video, transcript and candidate card all attached to the candidate record on the job.

Frequently asked

Questions recruiters actually ask.

What's a one-way (async) video interview?
You record your screening questions on video once. Candidates receive a link, watch the questions, and record their video answers in their own time — no scheduling, no calls. RecView transcribes every answer and turns it into a structured candidate card automatically.
What's in a candidate card?
Motivation (why they're looking), notice period, current and expected salary, location and remote preference, work pattern, and compensation drivers — extracted from the candidate's video answers. Every field has a verbatim quote + video timestamp attached.
Why is this good for volume recruiting?
One question set screens a hundred applicants without a single scheduled call. You get a consistent, high-signal screen for every applicant and a rich candidate dataset that lands in your ATS without anyone typing a thing — two birds, one stone.
Can candidates re-record their answers?
That's up to you. Per question, you can allow unlimited re-takes, a fixed number, or a single take. The same setting applies to every candidate so the screen stays consistent.
What if a candidate doesn't have a webcam?
They can reply on a phone, tablet or laptop — the candidate side runs in the browser. Audio-only fallback is available for candidates who can't use video.
How does this fit alongside live interviews?
One-way interviews handle the top of the funnel — the volume screen everyone gets. The candidates worth talking to then move into a live interview, which RecView can record, transcribe and score against your competency framework on the [video interview analysis](/features/video-interview-analysis/) page.
Can a client see the candidate's video?
Yes. You can share a candidate's video reply, transcript and card with the client from inside RecView. Internal view is full; the share view is configurable per-client.
