What is a bulk video interview?
A bulk video interview is one recorded screen sent to every applicant for a role through a single link. Everyone answers the same questions on their own schedule, from any device, with no calls to book. Each recorded answer is transcribed and summarized as it arrives, and tags, favorites and inbox status help the team work through the pile.
You have 200 applicants. Scheduling individual screening calls would take all month.
- One link for every candidate, no scheduling
- AI transcribes and summarizes every video and voice response
- Tags, favorites, and inbox status to sort the pile
- Zapier integration with Greenhouse, Lever, Workable
How it works, step by step
Send one async video interview link to all candidates at once. Everyone records on their own schedule; you review in batches at your pace. No scheduling, no no-shows.

Create
Step 1: Build your bulk video interview form
Create a multi-step video interview form with your intro video, 3 to 5 questions, and time limits per answer. The same form goes to every candidate, so you only build it once.
- Start the form with a 60-second "why we're excited about this role" welcome video from the hiring manager. Candidates who see a real person get a feel for the team before they answer
- Ask 3 to 5 role-specific competency questions, not generic ones: "Walk me through how you've handled [specific scenario]" surfaces actual experience faster than "Tell me about yourself"
Send
Step 2: Invite 200 candidates with one link
Paste the RecRam form link into your ATS, email campaign, or LinkedIn message. Candidates click and record on any device: phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download, no account needed.
- Include the form link in your application confirmation email: "You applied for [Role]. To move forward, please complete this 15-minute video screening at your convenience." Candidates see it while they are still engaged
- Always include a deadline in the invitation: "Please complete by [date]." Send one reminder from your ATS or email tool 24 hours before the cutoff to candidates who have not submitted yet
Review
Step 3: AI summarizes every video and voice submission
Every video is automatically transcribed, summarized, and labeled with sentiment. Turn on AI Analysis to score answers against your criteria, or tag your favorites. Review candidates without scheduling a single phone screen.
- Let AI Analysis rules tag answers that score below your threshold, review the strongest responses first, and scan each transcript before you decide who moves on. No need to schedule a call per candidate
- Ask AI Analysis whether each answer mentions role-specific experience such as "enterprise", "quota attainment" or "MEDDIC", and tag the yes answers, so you see who mentioned the right things before you watch
