Stop scheduling first rounds
Invite ten candidates in the time it takes to book one call. They answer in their own time zone, on their own evening.
Before: a week of emails to find 30 minutes.
Async video interviews
First-round interviews without the calendar.
AsyncView runs async video interviews for your first round. Send one link, candidates record their answers when it suits them, and your team reviews and decides together. No scheduling back-and-forth.

Why teams switch
Spend your hiring hours on judgement, not logistics.
Same questions for everyone
Build a question set once and reuse it. Every candidate gets the same prompts in the same order, with the same time to answer.
Before: every interviewer asks something different.
Decide together, with the recording
Ratings, recommendations and notes sit next to the video, so the whole team reviews the same answers before anyone decides.
Before: decisions made from one person’s memory.

How it works
Three steps from job post to shortlist.
1
Create the interview
Pick a published job, start from a question set, and choose when the interview closes.
2
Candidates record
Each person gets a private link by email. They check their camera, try a practice question, then record each answer.
3
Review and decide
Watch at up to 2× speed, rate each answer, leave notes, then shortlist or reject.

Your noteOnly your team sees this“Clear example with real numbers. Rebuilt a slow dashboard and explained the trade-offs well.”
Trust and control
Built for hiring data that matters.
Candidate recordings are personal. AsyncView keeps them with your company and gives you control over who sees them.
Private candidate links
Each candidate gets their own unguessable link. It stops taking answers once they submit or the deadline passes.
Private video storage
Recordings sit in a private storage bucket that is never public, and play back through links that expire after an hour.
Your company’s data
Recordings belong to the company that sent the invite. Only its users can view them.
Protected sign-in
Passwords are stored hashed, and repeated failed sign-ins are rate limited.
For candidates
A fairer first interview for the people you want to hire.
No time-zone juggling, no one watching live, and a clear view of what’s coming before they press record.
Any device
Answer from a laptop or phone browser. Nothing to download or sign up for.
Know what’s coming
They see how many questions there are, roughly how long it takes and when the link closes.
Practise first
A camera, mic and connection check, then a warm-up question that is never recorded.
Their own schedule
Record any time before the link expires, even at midnight.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How AsyncView works for your hiring team and for the candidates you invite.

Talk to our team and we’ll walk you through it.
Contact us
info@asyncview.comDo candidates need an account or an app?
No account or app needed. Each candidate gets a private link by email and records in the browser on a laptop or phone. There’s nothing to install and no password to remember.
Can candidates practise before they record?
Yes, with a practice question and a device check. Before the real questions, candidates check their camera, microphone and connection, and can answer a warm-up question that is never recorded. Real answers are then recorded once each, one question at a time.
How long do candidates have to respond?
You set the deadline. Each question has its own time limit, and recording stops when it runs out. The interview closes at the date and time you choose. Candidates get reminder emails 48 and 24 hours before, and you can extend the deadline by seven days in one click.
How many questions should a first round have?
Three to five questions. A few minutes per question works well for most roles. Longer interviews tend to lower completion without telling you much more.
Read our hiring guidesCan I reuse the same questions across roles?
Yes, with question sets. Save questions once and import them into any new interview, then edit them for that role. Your whole team starts from the same questions.
What do candidates see before they start?
Everything they need to prepare. The job title, your note about the interview, how many questions there are, roughly how long it takes and when the link closes. Once they start, questions appear one at a time with a countdown before each recording.
How does my team know when answers are ready?
By email and in the app. When a candidate submits, every admin and HR manager in your company gets an email and an in-app notification. You can also be told when an interview expires or a recording fails, and admins choose which alerts are on.
Who on my team can see the recordings?
Only your company’s users. Only people added as users in your company can view its interviews and recordings. Admins and HR managers can create interviews, review and decide; only admins change notification settings.
Where are recordings stored?
In private cloud storage. Answers are saved to a private storage bucket that is never public. Your team plays them back through secure links that expire after an hour.
What happens when the deadline passes?
The link closes automatically. Interviews that weren’t submitted are marked expired and your team is notified. Anything already recorded is kept, and extending the deadline reopens the link.
Run your next first round without a single calendar invite.
We’ll set up a sample interview with your own questions so you can see it from both sides.
