We believe the future of hiring lies in understanding people as a whole, not just their qualifications. Employers are gearing their candidate search towards tools like social media because of how unreliable resumes have become in answering the more complex questions.
Think of a RealHire video resume as a powerful supplement to your traditional resume, not a replacement. Your paper resume is essential for outlining what you do—your skills, experience, and qualifications.
Your RealHire video resume shows who you are. It brings your experience to life and is your chance to personally showcase your communication skills, passion, and personality in a way text never can. For roles in sales, marketing, customer service, or leadership, how you communicate is critical. A RealHire video helps you make a memorable first impression and stand out from the stack of paper.
Yes, RealHire is 100% free for job seekers. Our mission is to help you get hired. You can build your video resume, get a shareable link, and be discovered by employers on our platform at no cost.
You are in complete control. On RealHire, your video resume is unlisted by default, meaning no one can find it unless you share your unique, private link. You can then choose to:
• Share your private link directly with employers.
• Make your profile "Discoverable," which allows verified employers on the RealHire platform to find your profile and reach out to you. You can change these settings or take your video down at any time.
We built RealHire for everyone, not just video pros! Our video builder guides you through the process with features designed to make it easy:
• Question Prompts: We give you a proven script with questions like "Tell us about a project you're proud of" so you're never wondering what to say.
• Built-in Teleprompter: You can write or paste your script directly into our teleprompter, which scrolls as you record so you can read naturally.
• Simple Editing: No complex software. You can easily trim clips, re-record answers, and add simple text overlays. We also provide a full library of tips and guides to help you film with confidence, right from your phone or laptop.
When you finish your video, RealHire generates a unique, professional link (e.g., realhire.com/your-name). You can:
• Add it to the top of your traditional resume like this: Video Resume: realhire.com/your-name.
• Paste it into job applications that ask for a portfolio or website.
• Include it in your email signature or LinkedIn profile.
• Send it directly to recruiters when you network.
RealHire replaces the 30-minute phone screen. Instead of spending hours scheduling and conducting first-round interviews, you can review a 2-3 minute video resume in a fraction of the time. This lets you instantly screen for essential soft skills—like communication, self-awareness, and enthusiasm—that a text resume can't show. You'll spend less time on unqualified candidates and fill your interview pipeline only with high-potential, engaging applicants.
This is a core part of our design. RealHire helps create a more equitable and consistent screening process by:
• Standardizing Questions: You can request that all candidates answer the same set of questions, allowing you to evaluate them on the same criteria.
• Providing Review Scorecards: Our platform lets your team use a structured scorecard to rate candidates on job-relevant skills, rather than on subjective "feel."
• Focusing on Skills: By giving all candidates the same opportunity to showcase their abilities, you reduce the variables that lead to unconscious bias and focus on what matters: their qualifications and communication.
Yes. RealHire is designed to fit into your workflow, not replace it. We offer seamless integrations with major ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday (and many more). When a candidate submits a video, their RealHire link and profile will automatically appear in your ATS, so your team can review everything in one place.
We offer flexible plans based on your company's needs. Our pricing is typically a monthly or annual subscription based on the number of "seats" (recruiters) you have and the number of jobs you're actively hiring for. We do not charge per-video-view. We also offer a free trial so you can see the impact on your hiring process firsthand.
It's simple. RealHire provides you with a unique "Video Request" link for each job posting. You can:
• Add the link directly to your job description on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.
• Email the link to your existing applicants, inviting them to complete a video as the next step.
• Search our database of active, discoverable job seekers on RealHire and invite them to apply. Candidates are sent to a simple, branded landing page where they can record their video directly—no login required for them.
