Let Candidates Meet You Before the Interview Starts

Adding a Welcome Video is a great way to introduce yourself and your company to candidates before you meet them. It helps set the tone, builds excitement, and gives candidates helpful context about the role and your team — all before the first question is even asked.

Plus, recording this once means you don’t have to repeat the same intro in every interview. It saves you time and lets you focus more on getting to know each candidate.
