Verefest is the screening layer that sits in front of your ATS. Structured video answers, shared reviews, and scores that come back cleaner than a scribbled “seems good.” Here's how each piece works.
Set three to five prompts, choose the role's scoring criteria, and send. Candidates record short answers whenever they can — across time zones, on any device — and the whole batch lands in one place for review.
Some roles need a proper dialogue. Live structured video keeps that conversation on rails: a shared guide, scoring built into the screen, and a recording so nobody relies on half-remembered impressions.
Use live for nuanced roles and final rounds; use async to get there faster. Same criteria, same records, one workflow either way.
Because interviews are recorded and criteria are set upfront, two reviewers can score the same answer independently and compare. You still decide. You just decide from evidence everyone can see.
Write the scoring criteria before you meet anyone, so “good fit” never quietly becomes “reminds me of me.”
Two reviewers rate the same answer without seeing each other's scores, then compare — no anchoring, no groupthink.
Ratings and comments attach to what the candidate actually said, timestamped against the recording.
Individual ratings roll up into one clear score per candidate, so ranking the shortlist takes seconds.
Same questions, same rubric, recordings two people watched — instead of one person's memory of one call.
Score in Verefest, keep everything of record in your ATS. We're building toward tight integrations so shortlists flow straight back into your pipeline.
A small talent team hiring for a role that pulls 200+ applicants used to phone-screen maybe 25, one call at a time, over a week and a half.
Illustrative of a pattern we see, not a specific client. Faster and more defensible, from the same pipeline.
Send us the kind of role you screen most and we'll run a real one through Verefest with you — async for volume, live for the shortlist.
