Async video interviews

First-round interviews without the calendar.

AsyncView runs async video interviews for your first round. Send one link, candidates record their answers when it suits them, and your team reviews and decides together. No scheduling back-and-forth.

Why teams switch

Spend your hiring hours on judgement, not logistics.

Stop scheduling first rounds

Invite ten candidates in the time it takes to book one call. They answer in their own time zone, on their own evening.

Before: a week of emails to find 30 minutes.

Same questions for everyone

Build a question set once and reuse it. Every candidate gets the same prompts, the same time limit and the same number of attempts.

Before: every interviewer asks something different.

Decide together, with the recording

Ratings, recommendations and notes sit next to the video, so the whole team reviews the same answers before anyone decides.

Before: decisions made from one person’s memory.

The platform

One place for your whole hiring team.

Jobs, interviews, question sets and reviews work together, so recruiters, hiring managers and admins follow one process.

How it works

Three steps from job post to shortlist.

1

Create the interview

Pick a published job, start from a question set, and choose when the interview closes.

2

Candidates record

Each person gets a private link by email. They practise, record, and re-record if they have attempts left.

3

Review and decide

Watch at up to 2× speed, read the transcript, rate, leave notes, then shortlist or reject.

Process

A clear path for every candidate.

Every interview moves through the same stages, so your team always knows what’s done, what’s waiting and who acts next.

  • Invites go out by email as soon as you send them
  • Your team is notified when answers are ready
  • Resend or extend when a candidate needs more time

Review

Watch less, understand more.

Speed up playback, jump between questions, and read the transcript alongside the video. Your rating and notes stay with the answer.

  • Playback at 1×, 1.25×, 1.5× or 2×
  • Auto-generated transcript for every answer
  • Star rating, recommendation and team notes
Trust and control

Built for hiring data that matters.

Candidate recordings are personal. AsyncView keeps them with your company and gives you control over who sees them.

Private candidate links

Each candidate has their own link. Cancel an interview and the link stops working immediately.

Role-based access

Super Admin, Admin, Recruiter and Viewer roles decide who can create, review and manage.

Your company’s data

Recordings belong to the company that sent the invite. Only its users can view them.

A record of every step

See when each candidate was invited, opened the link, started and completed.

For candidates

A fairer first interview for the people you want to hire.

No time-zone juggling, no one watching live, and a clear view of what’s coming before they press record.

Any device

Answer from a laptop or phone browser. Nothing to download or sign up for.

See it all first

Every question shows its time limit and attempts before recording starts.

A second take

Re-record an answer when you allow more than one attempt.

Their own schedule

Record any time before the link expires, even at midnight.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How AsyncView works for your hiring team and for the candidates you invite.

Contact usinfo@asyncview.com

Do candidates need an account or an app?

No account or app needed. Each candidate gets a private link by email and records in the browser on a laptop or phone. There’s nothing to install and no password to remember.

Can candidates re-record an answer?

Yes, up to five attempts per question. You choose the maximum attempts for each question, from one to five. Candidates always see how many attempts they have left before they press record.

How long do candidates have to respond?

You set the deadline. Each question has its own time limit, and the whole interview has an expiry date and time. If someone needs longer, extend the expiry by seven days in one click.

How many questions should a first round have?

Three to five questions. A few minutes per question works well for most roles. Longer interviews tend to lower completion without telling you much more.

Read our guide to writing questions

Can I reuse the same questions across roles?

Yes, with question sets. Save questions once and import them into any new interview, then edit them for that role. Your whole team starts from the same questions.

Can I see what candidates see before sending?

Yes, with the candidate preview. It shows each question, its time limit and attempts exactly as candidates will see them. Nothing is sent while you preview.

Who on my team can see the recordings?

Only your team. Only people you add as users in your company can view recordings. Roles decide who can create interviews, who can review, and who can only view.

What happens if I cancel an interview?

The link stops working immediately. The candidate can no longer open it. Any answers they recorded before you cancelled are kept for your team to review.

We’ll set up a sample interview with your own questions so you can see it from both sides.
