No more first-stage interviews
Your video does the job of a first interview. Hiring managers watch it before they open your CV, so the first conversation can be the real one.
Why a video gets you further
A CV tells employers where you've been. Your video tells them who they'd be hiring.
Speak to the hiring manager directly
Most hiring processes don’t hear from you until the interview. Here you talk to the people hiring, in your own words, from the very start.
One video, every role
Do it once and, if you wish, it covers every role you apply for. No re-recording for each application.
You control who sees it
Employers you apply to see it. Set your profile to Public to let other employers find you too, or Private to keep it to the roles you apply for. Change it any time in your account settings.
In our experience, candidates who introduce themselves on video are significantly more likely to be shortlisted.
What the hiring manager sees
This is the real view on a hiring manager's phone. Your video comes first, before anything else about you.
- Your video introduction, at the top
- How well you match the role, and why
- Your experience, skills and what you’re looking for
- One tap to shortlist you
How to record a great one
Your phone or laptop camera is all you need. Our team checks every video before it goes live.
45seconds, about
What to say
- Your first name only
- What makes you different, and what you want next
- Leave them wanting to meet you. Don’t read out your CV.
Setting up
- Face a window or a lamp, so the light is on your face
- Pick a plain, tidy background
- Raise the camera to eye level (a pile of books works)
- Find a quiet room and check your sound first
- Look at the camera lens, not at yourself on screen

Do I need a new video for each role?
No. One video covers every role you apply for, if you wish. You can record a new one whenever you like.
Who can see my video?
Employers you apply to. If your profile is Public, other employers hiring for roles like yours can find you too. Private keeps it to the roles you apply for. You can change this any time in your account settings.
How long should it be?
About 45 seconds. Long enough to say who you are and what you want next, short enough that they want to hear more.
