An infographic comparing the costs and time spent on traditional hiring versus video assessments.

Recruitment as we know it, interviews, endless back-and-forth scheduling, and hefty cost per hire, is outdated. If you’re tired of inefficiencies, one-way video assessments offer a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective alternative.

What Are One‑Way Video Assessments?

Candidates record answers to pre-set interview questions, then upload them for review on your timeline. No scheduling is required, just genuine insights showcased on the candidate’s terms.
