One Way Interview is an async video interview platform built for recruiting teams that hire at volume, without enterprise pricing or sales-call onboarding. Also known as a one-way video interview or pre-recorded video interview tool, it helps HR teams, in-house recruiters, and hiring managers screen high application volumes in a fraction of the time live interviews take.
Candidates record video, text, or multiple-choice answers to your questions on their own time via a shareable link. No candidate login required. AI transcribes and evaluates every response against your criteria, so your team spends review time on the top candidates instead of on scheduling calls that go nowhere.
How it works
1. Create a position and add your interview questions (video, text, or multiple-choice).
2. Share the public interview link on LinkedIn, Indeed, your careers page, email, or inside your ATS.
3. Candidates record responses on desktop, tablet, or mobile. AI screens and scores them automatically. Your team reviews, collaborates, and moves the best applicants through a 9-stage pipeline.
Built for teams that:
- Screen hundreds of applicants per position in logistics, schools and universities, accounting firms, law firms, and recruitment agencies.
- Hire at volume for customer-facing, technical, operations, seasonal, or campus roles.
- Want a branded candidate experience without custom development.
- Need to collaborate with teammates on hiring decisions.
- Prefer month-to-month pricing over annual enterprise contracts.
