Video recruiting refers to the use of recorded or live video technologies to screen and assess job candidates as part of the hiring process. Video-based hiring tools allow employers to evaluate communication skills, behavioral competencies, and job-readiness through asynchronous interviews, recorded skill demonstrations, and simulated work tasks. Once a niche practice, video recruiting has become increasingly mainstream as employers seek alternatives to resume-heavy screening in an era of AI-generated applications and growing hiring volumes.
Video recruiting is closely connected to the broader shift toward skills-based hiring, in which demonstrated capabilities and performance evidence may be prioritized over traditional credentials or self-reported qualifications.
