The video-first hiring playbook
Why resumes alone fail modern hiring — and how structured video profiles change outcomes.
Most hiring funnels still optimize for keyword-matched PDFs. Candidates look identical; recruiters burn out; great communicators never surface.
A video-first profile flips the order: show how someone thinks, then optionally attach a resume. Consent is captured before any AI processing.
Start with three structured prompts, a clear rubric for recruiters, and Talent DNA ranking that recommends without auto-rejecting.
Measure time-to-first-interview and recruiter satisfaction — not just applications received.
