Video interviewing platform

Screening, without the scheduling.

Verefest lets candidates record structured video answers on their own time — then your team reviews and scores them against the same criteria. Async for volume, live for the shortlist. Fewer phone screens, quicker decisions.

How it works

Start to shortlist, no scheduling in sight.

A screening round on Verefest runs the same way every time — so the shortlist is a decision, not a debate.

1

Set your questions

Pick three to five prompts for the role and choose async or live. Write your scoring criteria once — they apply to every candidate the same way.

2

Invite candidates

Send one link. For async, candidates record answers whenever they're ready. For live, they book a structured session with the guide loaded.

3

Review together

Recordings land in one place. You and the hiring manager watch, rate against the criteria, and leave notes — asynchronously, on your own time.

4

Score & shortlist

Ratings roll up into a clear score per candidate. Fewer phone screens, no calendar chase, and a paper trail your whole team can stand behind.


Key features

Where async video meets structured scoring.

Everything you need to run a faster, fairer first round — and nothing that gets in the way.

Async video answers

Candidates record short, structured answers whenever they can. Review a batch of ten in the time one phone screen used to take.

Live structured interviews

Real dialogue for the deeper stage, but with a shared question guide and scoring on-screen so the panel stays aligned.

Interview scorecards

A rubric written before you meet anyone. Two reviewers score the same answer independently and compare — no half-remembered impressions.

Roll-up scoring

Ratings tie to what the candidate actually said. Scores roll up per candidate so the shortlist is defensible, not a gut call.

Zero scheduling

One link, answered across time zones. No shared slot to miss, so no-shows stop draining your time-to-shortlist.

Fairer by design

Same questions for everyone, criteria set upfront. Structure sharpens human judgement instead of replacing it.

Two modes, one workflow

Not every interview needs to be live.

High volume, early filter, clear criteria? Go async. Shortlist round, nuanced role, need to probe? Go live. Same scoring, same records.

Async One-way, pre-recorded

Perfect for the top of the funnel. Set the questions once, candidates answer on their own time.

  • Review ten candidates in the time of one call
  • Works across time zones with no coordination
  • No-shows stop mattering entirely

Live Structured, real-time

For the deeper stage — real conversation, kept on rails by a shared guide.

  • Shared question guide loaded into the call
  • Scoring built into the screen for the panel
  • Everyone measures the same thing

“I stopped being a scheduler and went back to being a recruiter.”
