A first-round video interview is an interview in which every candidate answers the same preset questions by recording a short video, voice or text reply in the browser, on their own schedule. Nobody has to be online at once: the hiring team reviews each transcribed answer later and decides who moves on to a live interview.
In RecRam the interview is a video form. A hiring manager asks each question on camera, the form branches on the candidate’s choices by rules you write, and reviewers score answers against the same rubric. The AI transcribes and summarizes; it never scores or ranks candidates. Answers are transcribed in 110+ languages.

This is the hotel hiring demo every new account starts with. Antonio, the general manager, asks each question on video. Candidates who have worked a front desk get a guest scenario; newcomers get a question they can answer well.
Watch mode: nothing you record is saved.
Welcome
“Welcome! I'm Antonio, the general manager. Thank you for wanting to join our team.”
Recorded answer · Video, voice or text
“Please introduce yourself, and tell me why hospitality appeals to you.”
A spoken introduction shows what a CV line can’t for a guest-facing role: warmth, pace and how someone talks to a stranger.
Choice
“Have you worked at a hotel front desk before?”
Yes · No, but customer service · No experience yet
The branch keeps the interview relevant without making it longer: each candidate sees one of the two follow-up questions, never both.
Recorded answer · Video, voice or text
“A guest arrives and their room isn't ready. They're upset. What do you do?”
A scenario shows judgment. A maximum length per answer keeps every reply short enough to compare side by side.
Recorded answer · Video, voice or text
“That's okay. In your opinion, what makes a guest feel truly welcome?”
Choice
“Which shifts would work best for you?”
Morning · Evening · Night · Any shift
Short text
“Which languages do you speak? Our guests come from everywhere.”
Facts you will filter on later work best as a short text answer.
Contact details
“Wonderful. Leave your contact details, please.”
End screen
“Thank you for your time. We'll be in touch within a week.”
Each video and voice answer arrives with a transcript, an AI summary and keywords. Reviewers add a score out of five against the form’s rubric, so every candidate is judged by people, on the same questions.
