Screening time per candidate

“Some of the best candidates I meet have the weakest CVs. I used to miss them or only call them when every obvious option had run dry. Now the right people stand out the moment they apply.”

“We were losing strong candidates while we waited for client feedback. The short video snapshots changed that rhythm completely — clients connect with people faster, and we’re closing placements sooner.”

Need answers?

We’re here to answer your questions.

The questions are defined by you. AI supports the process, but you stay in control of what’s asked and what matters.

Candidates can always try, just like with CVs. What Candid captures is how they actually communicate: how they explain, reflect, and respond in their own words. That makes scripted or misrepresented profiles much easier to spot, especially early on.

No. It removes the parts recruiters shouldn't have to do. Candid handles early screening consistently and at scale, so recruiters can focus on what actually moves hires forward: judgement, relationships, and closing the right candidates.

Candidates complete their interview when it suits them, on any device, without back-and-forth scheduling. The process is structured but conversational, giving every applicant a fair chance to be seen beyond their CV.

Asynchronous video screening (also called one-way video interviewing) lets candidates record their answers to pre-set questions at a time that suits them — without a recruiter present. You review the responses at your own pace. It replaces the first-round phone screen entirely, saving both sides hours of scheduling and back-and-forth.

You paste your job description and, optionally, a transcript of your briefing call with the hiring manager. Candid's AI reads both sources and generates tailored video interview questions and multiple-choice pre-screening questions. You review and edit everything before publishing — nothing goes live without your approval.

Most recruiters publish their first role in under 10 minutes. You paste your source material, review the AI-generated questions, invite reviewers, and hit publish. Candid handles candidate notifications, reminders, and data collection automatically.

Candid integrates with Recruiterflow, Bullhorn, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, and others. If your system isn't listed, contact support. We set up custom integrations at no extra cost.

Yes. Candid is particularly well-suited to recruitment agencies because of the Snapshot feature: the ability to share a branded, curated candidate card directly with clients is a differentiator that in-house-only tools don't offer. The Agency plan includes custom branding, unlimited active roles, and ATS integration.

No. Candidates receive a magic link by email and complete their video interview directly in the browser — no downloads, no sign-up, no friction. It works on any device with a camera and internet connection. Completion rates are significantly higher than platforms that require account creation.

You get 14 days of full access — unlimited roles, unlimited candidate interviews. No credit card required. At the end of the trial, choose the plan that fits your hiring volume, or speak to the team about Agency or Enterprise options.

Yes. CandidRecruit is fully GDPR compliant. Candidate videos and personal data are encrypted, securely stored, and automatically managed according to EU data protection standards. You control the data; we just keep it safe.
