Let’s talk about interviews. You post a job. Dozens apply. Your calendar fills with 15-minute Zooms that all blur together by Thursday. One person ghosted. Another showed up from their car. And the rest? You’re still trying to remember who said what. If you’ve been there — welcome.
Video interviewing, especially the async kind, is what more and more teams are using to stop drowning in scheduling, note-taking, and small talk.
This isn’t about replacing real conversations. It’s about using your time (and theirs) better.

Video interviews help with all of that.
Async formats also give candidates space to think — no freezing on the spot or trying to guess what you want to hear. You get more thoughtful, structured answers (especially if you give them the STAR method to follow — more on that soon).

At Flexhire, we build these into the hiring flow — you post a job, and we start sending you a daily pipeline of candidates with pre-recorded intros and custom video responses. You just… watch, shortlist, and move.

Nope. It’s all in-browser.
Can my team rate and comment on interviews?
Yes — and everyone’s input is visible in one place.
Does this replace real interviews?
Not at all. It just makes your process faster, smarter, and easier to manage.
What about GDPR and global hiring rules?
We’ve got it covered. Flexhire was built with global compliance in mind.
If you're doing 10 calls to hire one person, that’s a lot of time you're never getting back.
Video interviewing, done right, saves your team hours — and helps you find better people faster.
