Why SA recruitment teams are switching to async video
Telephone screening is time-consuming and inconsistent. Live video interviews require diary alignment across multiple parties. One-way video removes both problems — candidates record when they’re ready, recruiters review when it suits them, and every shortlist is built on the same set of questions.
For high-volume roles or geographically spread candidates, it’s the fastest way to move from application to shortlist without sacrificing quality or fairness.
What’s included
Asynchronous by design Candidates record answers at a time that suits them. No calendars to juggle, no rescheduling, no drop-offs. Clear preparation packs and automated reminders keep candidates informed and engaged throughout.
Consistent and fair screening Every candidate answers the same questions in the same format. Anchored scoring guides your team toward objective, comparable evaluations — reducing unconscious bias and strengthening your EE compliance position.
POPIA-ready by default Encrypted video storage, granular access controls, and configurable retention settings mean your candidate data is handled responsibly and in line with South African data protection requirements.
Unlimited vacancies Share as many roles as your team is running — there are no caps on the number of active vacancies or candidate invitations. One licence covers your whole team.
Collaborative review Centralise feedback, share evaluations, and align on hiring decisions without endless email threads. Your team reviews the same recordings, scores candidates consistently, and moves to the next stage together, feeding directly into AI candidate matching and your wider hiring workflow.
Video to email Send personalised video messages directly to candidates — interview invitations, role overviews, or follow-up communications. Stand out from the standard text-based approach and give candidates a better experience from the first touchpoint.
Who this is for
This feature is designed for HR teams and recruiters who are managing volume, multiple roles, large applicant pools, or candidates spread across different locations; one-way video gives you a faster, fairer, and more scalable alternative and works seamlessly alongside Talent Genie’s applicant tracking system. If your current screening process involves back-and-forth scheduling and inconsistent telephone interviews, one-way video gives you a faster, fairer, and more scalable alternative.
