Problem
Traditional CV-based screening fails to reveal a candidate's communication style, motivation, and soft skills, leading to mismatched hires and wasted interview time. Recruitment teams are overwhelmed by high volumes of applications, including AI-generated CVs, and spend hours on initial screening calls that often don't predict job performance. Clients increasingly demand proof of candidate quality rather than promises based on paper credentials.
Solution
Candid provides an asynchronous video screening platform that lets candidates record structured video responses to role-specific questions on their own time, from any device, without needing an app or account. Recruiters can review these video snapshots in a single pass, quickly identifying candidates who communicate effectively, understand the role, and demonstrate the right motivation. The platform automatically generates interview questions, provides AI transcription and summaries, and produces one-page candidate cards that can be styled and shared with clients for faster alignment. This approach reduces interview stages, shortens hiring cycles, and gives hiring teams a clearer picture of the person behind the CV before committing to live meetings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are recruitment agencies, staffing firms, and in-house hiring teams at startups and SMEs who need to screen high volumes of candidates efficiently and present decision-ready shortlists to clients.
