How long does it take to submit a video application?
There is no set timeframe for the application process, but it rarely takes more than 20 minutes. VideoApply is designed for preliminary interviews. Employers ask from 3 to 7 questions and are encouraged to keep them simple. Their goal is usually to gain an initial impression of job applicants.
Is the interview time limited?
No, with VideoApply, you are in control. You can prepare for the recording and do it at a time and place that suits you. If you need to take a break, you can return to an unfinished application at any time via the same link. However, each answer has a time limit set by the employer. You'll see it above the player before you start recording.
How many attempts can I make to record a video?
It depends on the employer. If retakes are allowed, you can watch and redo your answers as many times as you want. If the employer allows only one attempt, you'll see the message "You have one attempt to record your response" before you start.
Can I skip a question?
No, you can only submit an application if you've recorded a video for every question.
Can employers see my drafts?
No, employers can only see submitted applications.
Can I redo my application?
Until you submit a whole application, you can edit your information and, if the employer allows retakes, redo videos. You can't redo a submitted application.
Does AI evaluate my answers?
No. Your recording is not transcribed or analysed, and no AI scores or ranks you. A person at the employer watches your answers and makes every decision.
Can I delete my application?
Yes, you can do this either immediately after submitting or later via your account. See Apply for a Vacancy and How candidates can manage their applications.
