No shared calendar for the first pass
Candidates open the link when they are awake. Your team watches later, without a meeting hold for every applicant.
Staff remote roles when candidates and clients are not in the same time zone.
Video interview software for staffing agencies. Remote staffing breaks when the first screen needs a live slot. Candidates record on their own hours, and the agency reviews before a client call is booked.
The first meeting should not wait on the calendar.
Hirekal is software for staffing agencies that need the first screen on video. A written profile still matters. It does not show how the person explains their work out loud. See all use cases.
- A first conversation that only works when three time zones overlap
- A CV that never shows how the candidate speaks with a client
- Different recruiters asking different first questions for the same role
- A client call booked before anyone on the agency has heard the person
Record first. Review inside the agency. Then book the client.
This is the remote staffing sequence. Broader agency presentation is covered under recruitment agencies. See the Norvale case study and pricing. Other workflows: BPO and call-centre hiring and appointment setters.
Set the questions for the role
Candidates record in their own hours
The agency reviews and notes
Send profile, resume, and video
Book the client call
Candidates record when their day is open.
They open a browser link, check the camera and microphone, record, review, and submit. Nobody has to find an hour that also works for the client.
The client hears the candidate before the live call.
After your team watches the answers and leaves notes, you can send a profile, resume, and the recorded interview. The client call is for the people who should get one.
What the agency keeps in Hirekal.
Team notes are covered in collaboration. The apply hostname is covered in custom domain. Client-facing roles can also use speech scores for communication, clarity, and fluency. Those scores do not replace listening.
A spoken sample before the client
The recording is how the candidate answers the role's questions. Notes from the agency sit with that video.
One set of questions per job
Every candidate for that role answers the same prompts, so submissions are comparable before a client sees them.
The agency's own apply domain
After the hostname is verified, candidates open the interview on a domain you add. Branding sets colors and font only.
Questions remote staffing agencies ask.
Time zones, what you can send a client, and the apply domain.
Why record instead of booking a screen across time zones?
Candidates open the link and record when they are available. Your team reviews the responses without holding a meeting for every applicant.
What can I send a client before a live call?
A candidate profile, resume, and the recorded interview, instead of a CV alone. Review the video and leave notes before you send it on.
Can candidates apply on the agency domain?
Yes. Add the hostname, point a CNAME to Hirekal, and verify it. Job apply links then use that domain.
Does the recording replace the client interview?
No. The recording is the structured first look. The client still meets the people you decide should get a live call.
Collect the interview before the time zones have to match.
Candidates record on their own schedule. Your team reviews, then books the client call.
