Step-by-Step Guide
How does it work?
Video FormsDesign your interview form
Use the drag-and-drop builder to create a multi-step video interview. Start with a welcome page featuring your intro video explaining the role, company culture, and what you're looking for.
Add video-record elements for each interview question — candidates record themselves answering on camera
Set max recording duration per question (e.g., 3 minutes) to keep answers focused
Use conditional logic to branch: if the role is "Technical", show coding question; if "Design", show portfolio upload
Add a ContactInfo element to capture name, email, phone — this auto-populates in your response dashboard
Include a file Upload element for CV/resume attachment
Record your intro video directly in the form builder — candidates who see a real person explaining the role are 2x more likely to complete the form.
Configure AI analysis rules
Before sharing, set up AI Config to define what the AI should look for in responses. This is where RecRam becomes a smart screener, not just a recording tool.
Define custom analysis criteria: "Evaluate communication clarity, technical knowledge depth, and cultural fit indicators"
AI will analyze the video visually + audio together — body language, eye contact, tone of voice, word choice
Set up emotion detection: AI classifies each response into 7 categories (frustrated, angry, sad, neutral, satisfied, happy, excited)
Enable keyword extraction to automatically surface frequently mentioned skills, technologies, or concerns
For a "Senior React Developer" role, configure AI to specifically evaluate: "Does the candidate demonstrate deep understanding of React component lifecycle, state management, and performance optimization?"
Video FormsDistribute to candidates
Share your interview form via direct link, embed it on your careers page, or print a QR code for job fairs. Candidates open it on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — no app download or account creation needed.
Email notifications: get alerted the instant a candidate submits — configure who receives the notification (you, hiring manager, or entire team)
Partial submissions enabled: if a candidate records 3 of 5 questions and leaves, their progress is saved — you still see what they recorded
UTM parameters auto-captured: track which job board, LinkedIn post, or email campaign each candidate came from
Device, browser, and location data stored with each response for compliance and audit trails
AI-powered response analysis
Each video response is automatically processed through RecRam's AI pipeline. You don't watch 30-minute videos — you scan structured AI output in seconds.
Speech-to-text transcription in 50+ languages — full transcript with time-stamped segments you can click to jump to that moment in the video
Sentiment breakdown: positive %, negative %, neutral % — with emotion label (e.g., "excited" vs "neutral" vs "frustrated")
AI-generated summary in markdown: key points, strengths, concerns — formatted as bullet points you can share with hiring committee
Frequent words extraction: automatically surfaces the terms candidates use most — reveals their vocabulary, priorities, and thinking patterns
Tag and favorite responses to create a shortlist. Filter by sentiment, date, completion status, or custom tags
RoomContinue the conversation with Room
Shortlisted candidates receive a personal Room link — a private async video channel just between you and them. No scheduling, no Zoom links, no calendar coordination.
You record a video: "Hi Sarah, loved your answer about system design. Can you walk me through a specific project where you applied this?"
Sarah clicks the Room link, watches your video, and records her reply — all from browser, no account needed
She can reply with video, voice, text, or even share her screen to show a project demo
You see read receipts (sending → delivered → read) so you know she's seen your message
The entire Room thread (all videos, files, messages) is available for your hiring committee to review
Use Room instead of scheduling a "quick follow-up call." Candidates respond on their time, and you review when it's convenient — both sides save 30+ minutes of calendar overhead per interaction.
Route to your ATS & team
Connect RecRam to your hiring stack. Every submission triggers your automation — no manual data entry, no copy-pasting between tools.
Webhook sends full payload on each submission: video URL, transcript text, sentiment scores, emotion label, AI summary, contact info, device data
Zapier trigger: "New Form Response" → create candidate in Greenhouse / Lever / Workable with all data attached
Set up conditional webhooks: positive sentiment + "senior" keyword → auto-notify hiring manager on Slack; negative sentiment → route to review queue
Email notification to candidate: "Thank you for your application — we'll review your video and get back within 48 hours"
Webhook supports auth (Bearer, Basic, API Key) and retries up to 5 times with exponential backoff — your ATS data stays in sync even if the first request fails.
