Role Model

Your hiring brief, built from what you already have.

Paste your JD or transcript of a job-spec call. We suggest:

  • Tailored video interview questions (max 2–3, up to 2 mins each)
  • Multiple-choice pre-screening questions to filter mismatches before the video
  • A structured role summary your whole team can align on

Review and edit everything before you publish. Most recruiters are live in under 10 minutes.

Green Room

Every applicant is seen. No calls required.

Candidates respond in their own time. You open the secure, GDPR-compliant Green Room when it suits you, and find:

  • Video responses with AI-generated transcripts and summaries
  • Analysis of each candidate against your role brief
  • Reaction signals (thumbs up, strong positive) and comment threads for your team
  • One-click status updates: Liked → Shortlisted → Approved → Hired
Snapshot

Share a person in one click. Not a CV.

Share best Candid Snapshots with your client securely, in one click, to help them decide.

  • Choose which video clips to include and in which order
  • Edit the AI summary and add your own commentary
  • Share with personal details hidden if needed
  • Client views it from laptop or phone - just an encrypted link, no login required, with full control over data retention.

90% of hiring managers who receive a Candid Snapshot say they would never go back to a plain CV.

Reviews

Trusted by forward thinking recruitment teams…

“With Candid, it's easier to sell more of my candidates to clients, and identify those who are not a fit, even if they meet all the technical requirements. When I see a candidate struggle to answer confidently, I know before sharing them with a client.”

Andreia

BD, Ventimiguis

“Candid is the missing layer we needed for our recruitment stack. Instead of a static CV, it lets employers see a candidate’s communication style, motivation, and soft skills upfront.”

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

A Snapshot is a branded, shareable candidate card containing curated video clips, an AI-generated summary, and your own recruiter notes. You build it in the Green Room by selecting the clips you want to share, editing the AI summary, and adding commentary. You then share it with your client via a single link — they view it in a browser with no login required. You can also hide personal details if needed.

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.

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.
