AsyncInterview
One-way video interviews with AI transcripts and wide ATS coverage, free for 60 responses a year, then $70 per user a month.
From $70/user/mo Free tier API
Bottom line
A low-cost one-way video interview tool: candidates answer recorded video, audio or text questions on their own time, and your team reviews, rates and shares the answers. Free for 60 responses a year, then $70 per user a month.
Stands out for: Candidates need no app, login or registration, and invites go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp one at a time, by CSV upload or through a public link. It plugs into Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, JazzHR, BambooHR, Teamtailor and Recruitee, and custom domains and white label are available.
Watch out for: Response caps are per year, not per month: 1,200 on Standard and 2,400 on Professional, so a high-volume desk can hit the ceiling. The free plan keeps videos for six months and has no AI transcription. Pricing is per user, which adds up when several hiring managers need seats.
Overview
AsyncInterview replaces first-round phone screens with recorded answers. You build an interview from video, audio or text questions, set thinking time, answer time and retakes for each, add intro and outro videos and your own branding, then invite candidates. They answer in any browser on any device without downloading anything or creating an account.
Reviewers watch answers at different speeds, rate and comment, and share responses by link without a login. Paid plans add automatic AI transcriptions, downloads and API access with webhooks. Invitations, reminders and completion messages go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp from editable templates. The vendor states GDPR and SOC 2 compliance, audit logs, single sign-on and automatic deletion of candidate videos.
