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.

Common questions
Do candidates need to create an account?

Yes. Upload your company logo, add a custom job description, and link your own privacy policy. Every plan supports this.
How does AI screening work?
AI transcribes video answers, analyzes text and video responses against your defined criteria, and rates each answer as Correct, Acceptable, or Incorrect. You can override any rating or re-evaluate responses if you change the criteria.
What integrations are supported?
ATS integration is available on the Unlimited plan. Interview links can be shared on any platform that accepts a URL, including LinkedIn, Indeed, email, Slack, WhatsApp, and most ATS systems.
