Seeing more one-way video screeners lately where you record answers in HireVue before you ever talk to a human. Two postings this week asked for an 8-minute self-recorded intro — are you doing these or skipping them, and do they lead to a live interview?
I’ll do them if the company’s on my A-list; I sketch a 3-bullet outline and record at golden hour so I don’t look like I’m in witness protection. For the ‘8-minute intro’ I keep a tight 75‑second master and swap the middle based on the JD; I’m getting about 40% conversion to live screens, but I skip if they tack on extra timed tests. Anyone had success asking a recruiter to swap the one-way for a quick 15‑min call instead?
