Rapidly identify best-fit candidates from a large candidate pool. Focus your time only on those candidates who have what it takes. No more need to give your undivided attention to the wrong candidate for the rest of the interview… just to be polite!

easy steps to increased efficiency :
“We’ve been using Video Recruit since 2012 and I’ve already filled quite a number of positions this way. It allows us to make a very quick but high quality pre-selection which means we can screen more applicants and choose from a wider pool. It’s also good for the applicants, because I wouldn’t invite so many candidates to a face-to-face interview. This way more people get a chance. The way candidates present themselves on video, the way they behave and the…
“Danone is one of the world’s leading producers of dairy products, waters, medical and baby nutrition products. In Southeastern Europe, our business is focused on fresh dairy products and we employ about 380 people. Each year between 5 and 10 graduates join us as trainees in various functions including Marketing, HR and Finance. It’s a popular programme and we receive a huge volume of applications. We use Video Recruit to screen our applicants; it’s a quick and…
”We are one of the world’s leading brewers. In Europe, we own over 20 major brands - in the UK, Ireland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. With over 6500 employees, we coordinate recruitment from our European headquarters in Prague. We recruit from all across Europe and since English is the official company language, our employees outside of the local production lines need to speak it…
“Our graduate programme is extremely popular. Each year, we recruit up to 10 new graduates and we‘ll typically receive around 1000 applications. We started using automated video interviewing in 2012 and for the 2013 graduate recruitment programme, we used it to replace telephone interviews. It has significantly improved the quality of this stage of screening. The video interviews primarily test how quickly candidates think on their feet and how they react under…
"We are the largest independent restaurant operator in Central and Eastern Europe, with a portfolio of brands including Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King and Starbucks. Poland is one of the largest countries in Europe and travel costs, both for us and our candidates have traditionally been very high because we recruit from our HQ while our hiring needs are spread across the country. We use Video Recruit for a wide range of vacancies including all our in-store…
“We are Bulgaria’s leading telco operator and one of the first organisations in the country to introduce automated video interviewing into our recruitment processes. We use Video Recruit to screen applicants for a wide range of technical, administrative and sales positions. On average we will receive over 50 applications for positions like these. Before Video Recruit, we would have held telephone interviews with 12-13 applicants and invited 7-8 for a face-to…
“Hope College is a liberal arts college of 3,300 students located along the shore of Lake Michigan. Our aim is to prepare students to live and serve in a global society. Each year we award two students from developing countries a significant 4 year scholarship - one covers the full cost of tuition, and the second also funds living costs. Until we discovered video interviewing, our selections were based on a combination of academic record, service and activities…
"Ideal Standard's HR team for Eastern Europe is based in Sevlievo, Bulgaria, where we manage recruitment mainly for Russia and Bulgaria. Our team first started using Video Recruit to recruit Sales & Marketing staff for Ideal Standard Russia. This eliminated many of the complexities and costs of interviewing candidates across such a huge country. More importantly, it made sure that we avoided any time wasted in awkward interviews with candidates whose CVs were a…
“As one of Bulgaria’s leading telco providers, we recruit nationwide and in other countries. We use Video Recruit to enhance our candidate screening – the interviews give us a much better feel than just looking at a CV. It also means that we can “see“ many more applicants, no matter where they live, and test some of the core skills we’re looking for, such as language skills. Because it’s so new, most candidates are surprised to be asked to record an interview but…
“Established in 1919, AERO Vodochody is today the largest aerospace manufacturer in the Czech Republic. We cooperate on major international aerostructure projects with companies such as Sikorsky, Bombardier and EADS. Since completing a major restructuring programme in 2007 and being acquired by Central European investment group Penta, we strive constantly to maintain a lean and efficient adminstrative structure. We’re really excited to have discovered automated…
”bTV Media Group is a popular and widely-recognised national brand which provides a unique mix of diverse TV channels, websites and radio stations. We are widely considered an employer of choice so we receive a large volume of applications and a wide variety of candidates for most positions we advertise. We use video interviewing for a very broad range of roles. It enhances the initial screening process and also replaces the first face-to-face interview. Our…
“DCGroup is not a heavy recruiter, but when we need to, we advertise on Poland's largest jobs board and are normally overwhelmed with applications. Screening these, arranging and then conducting interviews takes up a huge amount of my time and that of my team. Quite often, one third of candidates simply don’t show up for interview! Online job boards have made it much easier to apply for a position and many jobseekers don’t seem to keep track of their applications.…
“We use automated video interviewing as a screening tool and it’s now replaced the first face-to-face interview. It‘s a great way to get a quick sense of a candidate. And because we have a pan-European client base, language competence is a core skill for our research staff; they need to speak a number of different European languages and video interviewing is obviously a quick and effective way to assess this. Candidates have mixed responses to this approach.…

Video Recruit is a simple HR tool which enables recruiters to invite candidates to record an automated online video interview as part of their application. Candidates are invited via an email with an embedded hyperlink to the Video Recruit website. Once on the website, the candidate is asked several questions that are prepared in advance by the recruiter. The interview is recorded via microphone and webcam and when completed, is made available to the recruiter to review and share with colleagues.
Video Recruit allows you to view your candidate videos whenever and wherever you like, and for as long or as short as you like. You can also share these videos with other colleagues involved in the recruitment process. No need to coordinate timing, book a meeting room or hold a time slot in a busy schedule. The time and cost savings are substantial, the time to hire is significantly reduced, and the overall quality of hire is increased.
Video Recruit is logical, intuitive and simple to use. No formal training is required but our support team is ready to assist you with any questions. And no integration effort is required as the full functionality of the platform is accessible online via a browser.
You can view your candidates’ Video Vignettes as often as you like at no extra charge. Video Vignettes should be stored in your candidate database for a limited time in relation to their purpose, and with a maximum period of 6 months unless otherwise agreed with Video Recruit.

An online automated job video interview is an interview you record at a time and place to suit you.
You will need a computer installed with a microphone, web camera, the latest version of Flash ( http://www.adobe.com/…/flashplayer ) and an internet connection. Alternatively you may visit one of our Video Recording Centers and record your video interview there at no charge.
The interviewer prepares the questions they want you to answer, specifies a date by which you need to complete the interview and sends you an email invitation. You click on the link embedded in the email, read and accept the Terms & Conditions, record as many practice questions as you require and then start the interview. During the interview, you read and record your answers, moving on to the next question at will or when the assigned question time has expired. The interviewer can then review your video interview whenever he/she wants.
You may record the interview wherever you like but it is important to select a quiet room with good lighting to optimise the quality of the video recording.
Before you start the actual interview you can test your audio and video quality by recording a practice question. On the ‘Practice Question’ page, click on ‘Record’, then record an answer which you can play back. You may repeat this process as many times as you need.
No. Video Recruit intentionally simulates a live interview and so you do not know the questions in advance.
No. Once you have started recording your interview you will not be able to pause it or redo it. You will also not be able to review it once you have completed it. Should you have any technical difficulties during the recording, send an email at .
Nothing! Once you have arrived at our ‘Thank You’ page, just close your browser. Your video job interview is automatically saved to your profile and the interviewer is advised by email.
