An async video interview, also called a one-way video interview, is a first-round interview in which every candidate answers the same preset questions by recording video, voice or text in the browser, on their own time. Nobody books a call: the hiring team reviews and scores the answers later, then decides who to invite to a live interview.
In RecRam the interview is a video form. A hiring manager asks each question on camera, the form branches on what the candidate answers, and video and voice answers are transcribed in 110+ languages.

This is a live first-round interview for software engineers. Anika, the engineering manager, asks each question on video. Answer it the way a candidate would: nothing you record is saved.
The link opens in any browser, on a phone, tablet or laptop.
You choose which ways each question can be answered. Anika’s project question also takes a screen recording.
A minimum of 5 to 60 seconds and a maximum of 1 to 10 minutes, so answers stay comparable.
Candidates watch their take back and record it again until they are happy with it.
The host video carries captions, so each question still reads with the sound off.
One choice early in the form decides what comes next, by rules you set, not AI. Candidates who miss a requirement skip the questions that no longer apply, see a different role, or go straight to a closing page you write.
Delivery driver · Femi, dispatch manager
Yes or no
“First things first. Do you have a full, valid driving license?”
“Yes”
“No”
No license, no rejection: the form offers a depot role instead and skips the vehicle, license photo and route questions.
Account executive · Jordan, head of sales
Multiple choice
“Quick one first. What kind of sales have you done before?”
“Business to business sales” or “Retail or consumer sales”
“No sales experience yet”
Experienced sellers give a number; newcomers get a question they can answer well. Both then pitch on video.
Customer success · Sarah, hiring team
Multiple choice
“Yes”
“Not yet”
The demo below: people who have worked with customers tell a story, the others say what draws them to it.
Each option of a choice or yes/no question can lead to any step, including an extra end page. For example, “Thanks, this role needs a driving license” closes the form politely, and the candidate never records answers you will not use.
Every video and voice answer arrives with its transcript, an AI summary and keywords; typed answers arrive as written. Each reviewer then scores the candidate against the same rubric, and RecRam shows the team average. The AI never scores or ranks candidates.
So, first things first, tell us a little about yourself and what you're doing right now.
“I'm Omar. I just finished my business degree, and I ran our student consulting club.”
No problem at all. What excites you about working with customers?
“I love solving problems for people. Seeing a customer relieved is the best part.”
So, first things first, tell us a little about yourself and what you're doing right now.
“Um, hi! I'm Chloe. I've been working in hospitality management for three years, shifting into tech.”
Great! Tell us about a time you turned a difficult customer situation around.
“A VIP guest was furious about a booking error. I upgraded their room and comped their meals, completely turning their stay around.”

“I have been working in B2B sales for the past 4 years. I realize I enjoy account management more than hunting.”

“A key client was upset about missed deliverables. I took over the account, implemented daily standups, and rebuilt their trust over two months.”
Sample answers from the customer success hiring demo every new RecRam account starts with. The candidates are fictional.
Set up to eight criteria for the form, weight them, and pick a 5 or 10 point scale. Everyone scores the same things; the team average sits on each candidate.
AI transcribes and summarizes each answer, pulls out keywords and can translate the transcript, so reviewers read before they watch. It doesn’t score, rank or screen candidates, and it doesn’t analyze faces, voices or body language. AI doesn’t make decisions about people; your team does.
How AI Insights worksReviewers comment under an answer, pin a comment to a moment in the recording and @mention a colleague. Then someone asks the candidate one more question in a Room, and the reply comes back in the same thread.

“We had a client struggling with onboarding. I created a custom video series for them, which cleared up the confusion and saved the account.”

Solid, but the 2-3 months start time is a potential blocker for us right now.
The candidate replies from the browser, with no account.

Hi Mateo, is there any flexibility on your start date?
Mateo Silva · 3 h later
I might be able to shorten it to 6 weeks, but no earlier due to project commitments.

A one-way interview is a first-round tool. It gives everyone the same questions and saves the scheduling, but it cannot ask a follow-up mid-answer. Use each where it is strong.
RecRam has no native ATS integration. If a direct, supported ATS connection is a must, a dedicated interview platform may suit you better.
