Async Video Interviewing
Screen at Scale. Signal at Speed.
Stop scheduling chaos and interview screening that isn't predictive. Async Video Interview lets every candidate record their best answers on their own time, and gives your team the structured talent signal to make faster, fairer shortlisting decisions.
WHY ASYNC VIDEO INTERVIEW
A better signal from every candidate
Async Video Interview gives you a structured, scalable way to see the real person behind the application.
End the scheduling chaos
No more back-and-forth calendar acrobatics. Candidates record on their schedule. You review when it suits yours. The result is 75% faster shortlisting.
Structured signal every time
Every candidate answers the same questions in the same format. That consistency is what makes video interviews 2x more predictive than unstructured phone screens.
Built-in fairness
Blind review mode, consistent rubrics, and independent evaluations minimize unconscious bias and give every candidate an equal opportunity to shine.
No barriers to apply
Time zones, geography, and work schedules stop mattering. Candidates complete interviews from anywhere, on any device, in any language.
HOW IT WORKS
From invite to shortlist in four steps
Everything lives inside the Criteria platform. No new logins. No extra tools.
1. Build
Choose from a library of validated, job-relevant questions and stock videos or record your own. Add a custom welcome video to showcase your brand.
2. Invite
Send candidates a link directly from the Criteria platform or your ATS. They complete the interview anytime, anywhere, on any device.
3. Evaluate
Reviewers score responses independently or enable AI scoring using structured rubrics, eliminating groupthink and anchoring bias from the process.
4. Decide
All scores compile automatically. Compare candidates side by side alongside assessment results and make data-driven shortlisting decisions.
SAVE TIME
Get time back with every candidate
Reclaim the endless hours spent scheduling phone screens, taking notes, and chasing evaluators for feedback summaries. With Async Video Interview, evaluation is built into the flow, not bolted on afterward.
Teams using Criteria report saving 15 minutes of recruiter time for every single candidate screened.
CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE
Spark candidate joy
Candidates get a professional, branded experience that feels fair. They record on their terms. No awkward cold calls, no time zone stress. The result is a stronger employer brand and fewer early-stage drop-offs.
80% of candidates prefer the convenience of video interviews over traditional phone screens.
INCLUSIVE HIRING
Fairness built into every evaluation
Independent review prevents evaluators from influencing each other. Blind review mode hides candidate identifiers so first impressions stay data-driven. Consistent questions mean every candidate is measured against the same bar.
Structured async interviews reduce bias and improve equitable hiring outcomes across diverse candidate pools.
INTEGRATED DECISIONS
One place for every talent signal
Async Video Interview scores sit alongside assessment results, AI scoring results, and Real-Time Interview evaluations in the Criteria platform. Compare candidates holistically. No tab-switching, no spreadsheet archaeology.
