# ShowIntro – Async Video Interviews & Video Intros Recruiters screen candidates with one-way video interviews. Candidates record a video intro and a separate one for every job they want. Meet before the first call. Canonical page: [https://showintro.com](https://showintro.com) ## Meet before the first call with async video interviews and video intros Recruiters send async video interviews. Candidates record intros that show more than a CV. Everyone skips the screening call. ## Why video first The same videos, seen from three sides. ### See the person behind the CV See communication, motivation and English in a couple of minutes – before you book a single call. - One-way interviews with your own questions, time limits and recording mode - One interview sent to a whole list of candidates - Search candidates who already recorded a video intro - Half-star ratings, notes and a drag-and-drop board for every vacancy - The hiring manager approves or rejects by link ### Show more than a CV Your CV says what you did. Your videos show who you are – record what each step needs and re-record when it goes out of date. - A self-presentation video of up to two minutes - A separate intro for each vacancy, with its own link and view counter - Answers to general, English and technical question blocks - Short videos about your key skills and projects - Interviews from recruiters, answered when it suits you - Practice sessions that save nothing, as often as you like ### Decide on what you have seen Hear the candidate’s English and see how they think before the final interview – not a retelling of someone else’s screening call. - Sign in from the recruiter’s invitation – Google or LinkedIn, no password - Finalists’ intros and answers in one list per vacancy - Playback at up to 2× speed - Your own rating for each finalist, alongside the recruiter’s - Approve or reject in one click - A note for the recruiter on any candidate ## How it works Three sides of the same hire – pick yours. ### Interview without a calendar - **Create an interview with your questions** — Text, audio or video questions – your own or from the shared pool. Set think time, answer length and whether retakes are allowed. - **Send it to every candidate at once** — Email a list of candidates or share one vacancy link. They sign in with Google or LinkedIn and record in the browser – no app. - **Watch, rate and select** — Review answers at up to 2× speed, rate each candidate in half stars, keep notes, drag them through the stages and invite the hiring manager to approve or reject. ### Get seen before the first call - **Record your self-presentation** — Up to two minutes in the browser: who you are, what you've worked on, what you're looking for. Retake it until it feels right. - **Record an intro for a specific job** — Record a short intro for one company and role. Whoever opens that link sees this video, your CV and your experience. - **Share the link or answer interviews** — Add your profile link to your CV and LinkedIn, send job intros to recruiters, and answer the interviews they send you. ### Decide without an interview marathon - **Accept the recruiter’s invitation** — The invitation arrives by email. Sign in with Google or LinkedIn using that address – no password, no registration form. - **Compare finalists on video** — Watch each candidate’s intro and answers at your own pace, at up to 2× speed – no call to schedule. - **Approve or reject with a note** — Your decision and comment reach the recruiter right away – no email threads, nothing to report separately. ## Every video a hire needs, in one place From the candidate’s self-presentation to the hiring manager’s decision – each with its own page. - **Self-presentation, skills and projects** — A self-presentation of up to two minutes, plus short videos about your key skills and projects – the first thing a recruiter watches. - **Question blocks: General, English, Technical** — Answers to randomly drawn interview questions, one take each – a recruiter hears your English and your thinking before any call. - **Vacancy intros** — A separate video for each company and role, with its own link and view counter. - **One-way video interviews** — Recruiters send their own questions, time limits and recording mode; the candidate answers whenever it suits them. - **Interview practice** — Rehearse real interview questions before it counts. Nothing is saved, repeat as often as you like. - **Hiring manager review** — Finalists’ videos in one list per vacancy – approve or reject with a note, straight from the recruiter’s link. ## Private by default The candidate decides who watches – and for how long. - **You choose who sees it** — A new profile is visible to no one. Open it to people with your link or to recruiters in search, and switch back anytime. - **Delete anytime** — Remove a single video or the whole profile from your account – no request to support. - **People decide, not an algorithm** — The platform does not score faces or voices. Recruiters watch, hiring managers decide. - **Data stored in the EU** — The database is hosted in the EU, and export or deletion is done from the account itself. ## Frequently asked questions - **How long should a video intro be?** — Up to two minutes – and shorter usually works better. Say who you are, what you have worked on and what you are looking for. A job-specific intro has the same two-minute limit. - **Do candidates need an account to answer?** — Yes, but it takes one click: Google or LinkedIn sign-in, no password and no form. It ties every recording to a real person, so you know who answered. - **Can I share answers with my team?** — Yes. Invite a hiring manager or team lead to a vacancy by email. They sign in with Google or LinkedIn, watch the answers and approve or reject with a note. - **Can a candidate retake an answer?** — The recruiter decides per interview. Proctored mode allows one take per question, starts recording after the think timer and logs tab switches. Relaxed mode lets the candidate retake an answer before sending it. - **Who can see my video?** — Only the people you choose. A new profile is private; you can open it to people with your link or to recruiters in search, and switch back at any time. A job-specific intro is seen only by whoever has its link. - **Is it free?** — Yes, during the beta. Recruiters use the product without a credit card. Candidates record and answer for free; the free candidate plan caps how many intros you keep and how often you re-send your self-presentation. ## Hiring starts with an intro Recruiters send interviews instead of booking calls. Candidates record an intro, a separate one for each vacancy, and answer interviews when it suits them. Free during the beta. ## More - [All documents (llms.txt)](https://showintro.com/llms.txt) - [Agent instructions](https://showintro.com/agents.md) - Contact: support@showintro.com
