Phone-screening a stack of applicants doesn’t scale. Half don’t pick up, the notes live in your head, and every hire starts with a week of phone tag. RecruitScreen turns that first round into something you run in bulk, on your own time.
Three steps to a shortlist
Set up once, then let candidates come to you. Most teams are reviewing their first responses the same day.
Build a campaign
Start from a ready-made screening pack built for the role, or write your own questions and save them to your library for next time. Set a time limit per answer and add your own intro.
Share one link
Send a single recruit link to every applicant. They record short video answers whenever suits them — no calendars, no back-and-forth.
Review & shortlist
Watch answers side by side — or skim the automatic transcripts — rate and discuss with your team, then move your best through the pipeline to hired.

Your candidates’ data lives in Australia
Many leading video-screening platforms are headquartered overseas and store candidate data outside Australia. RecruitScreen is Australian-owned, stores candidate data in Sydney, prices in AUD, and is built around the Privacy Act — not retrofitted to it.
Sydney data residency
Candidate recordings, transcripts and profile data are stored in Sydney, Australia.
Privacy Act aligned
APP-consistent handling, with automatic deletion rules and retention you control.
Local by default
AUD pricing inc. GST, Australian support hours, an ABN in the footer.
Why recruiters switch to RecruitScreen
Ready-made screening packs
Nine screening packs built for real roles — warehouse, hospitality, customer service, admin, leadership — and 51 curated questions with recruiter guidance. Add a pack in one click, edit anything, save your own to reuse. Included on every plan, including Free.
No scheduling
Candidates record anytime; you review anytime. Screen a whole shortlist in the time one phone call used to take.
Consistent & fair
Every candidate answers the same questions, so you compare like for like instead of relying on memory.
Transcripts on every answer
Every video answer is transcribed automatically — skim instead of watching, search what was said, and export to PDF or Word. The video stays the record.
A pipeline to hired
Track every candidate from Applied through Interview and Offer to Hired — bookings, decisions and shortlists in one view, no spreadsheet on the side.
Review as a team, not a relay
Everyone rates independently and comments on the exact answer they’re reacting to. Tag a colleague to pull them in, and watch one activity feed carry every rating, comment and decision in order — instead of forwarding recordings and rebuilding the reasoning later.
Told, not chased
Each person sets their own alerts per campaign: a daily summary of new applicants, or an email the moment one completes. Nobody has to keep checking.
Full candidate history
Every stage move, review and decision is logged automatically, so you always know who did what, when — and can defend it later.
Plugs into your HR stack
A REST API and signed webhooks push screening outcomes into your ATS or HR system as they happen — with public developer docs your IT team can vet.
Australian data residency
Candidate recordings, transcripts and profile data are stored in Sydney, with security and privacy controls built for AU hiring.
Questions, answered
Do candidates need to download an app? +
No. Candidates record directly in their browser on any phone or computer — nothing to install.
Where is candidate data stored? +
Candidate recordings, transcripts and profile data are stored in Sydney, Australia. Video assembly and transcript generation run transiently on secure infrastructure in Singapore — candidate content is never stored at rest outside Australia.
How long are recordings kept? +
Recordings and transcripts are deleted automatically 12 months after they’re recorded, and 30 days after a candidate is archived. Your workspace can set a shorter period, and you can delete candidate data at any time. Your reviews and decisions are kept.
Can my team review candidates together? +
Yes — that’s the point of it. Everyone rates independently, comments on the specific answer they’re reacting to, and can tag a colleague to pull them in. One activity feed shows every rating, comment and decision in order, so the reasoning is kept, not remembered.
Do I have to keep logging in to check for applicants? +
No. Each person chooses their own alerts per campaign — a daily summary of new applicants, or an email the moment someone completes. Off is fine too.
What if a candidate’s recording didn’t work? +
Send them a fresh link and they can record again. A technical glitch doesn’t cost you a good candidate.
What happens after screening? +
A built-in hiring pipeline tracks every candidate from Applied through Interview and Offer to Hired. Book the interview and keep your notes against the candidate, see what’s coming up on your dashboard, and keep a full history of every stage move, review and decision.
Are video answers transcribed? +
Yes. Every answer is transcribed automatically on every plan, including Free — skim instead of watching, comment on the exact answer, and export transcripts as PDF or Word. Transcripts are an automated aid; the video stays the record.
Does it integrate with my ATS or HR system? +
Yes — a REST API and signed outbound webhooks push screening outcomes into your system as they happen, with a reference field to match candidates back to your ATS records. Developer docs are public.
Is there a free plan? +
Yes — free forever, not a trial. Run one live campaign at a time with up to 25 candidates and 2 team members, transcripts included, no credit card required. Upgrade when you outgrow it.
