A video screening interview is a first-round 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 screen is a video form. A hiring manager asks each question on camera, the form branches on what the candidate says, and reviewers score answers against the same criteria. 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 screen 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 answer arrives with a transcript, an AI summary, keywords and a sentiment label. Reviewers add a score out of five against the form’s criteria, so the shortlist rests on the same questions for everyone.
