Why a 2’MAX
What your CV doesn’t say.
Shortlisting is often decided in a few seconds, on a CV sometimes screened by a robot. Your video application gives a voice to the person behind the background.
- More visibility. A CV or LinkedIn profile enhanced with a 2’MAX grabs attention: what makes you different comes across.
- More efficiency. In under 2 minutes, your background, motivation and goals, more directly than a cover letter.
- More control. Your profile stays confidential: you decide who to send it to and update it whenever you like.
- More equal opportunity. Whatever your age, experience or background, you are heard before you are judged.
According to a study conducted in Canada in 2019 among 2,000 companies, an application that includes a video increases the chances of getting an interview by 38%.
Video application pitch
The video application pitch, explained.
A short video, facing the camera, in which you say who you are, what you are looking for and why you. It accompanies your CV and replaces the cover letter.
The 2’MAX is its secure version: recorded directly on the platform, with no editing or uploads, it lasts under 2 minutes, and a well-built minute is often enough. It is neither public nor downloadable: you send it to the recruiters of your choice, by link or through the QR code on your CV, and you update it without changing the link.
Internship, work-study contract, first job, career change, school admission: the same format works for all your applications. To prepare it, tips are waiting for you in your candidate area once your account is created.

They replaced their cover letter with a 2’MAX.
A 2’MAX is normally visible only to the companies you send it to. These candidates made an exception and agreed to share an excerpt of theirs, to show you it can be done.
No need to be perfect: everyone started with a first try that no one saw.
Tips
Nailing your video pitch.
The first thirty seconds decide what happens next. A hook, the essence of your goals, then what sets you apart.
- Work on your hook: an anecdote, a question, a look.
- Say what matters: education, the role you want, mobility, then values, motivation, goals.
- Aim for authenticity: keep 10 seconds to wrap up. The perfect 2’MAX does not exist.
Once your account is created, you will find all our tips in your candidate area.

Candidates’ questions
How is this different from an “elevator pitch”?
It is exactly that, only better. Imagine stepping into an elevator with the HR director of your dream company: “Who are you and what are you looking for?” With 2 Minutes Max, you are alone in the elevator, you can try as many times as you like, and you keep the version you are happy with. A 2’MAX means being in that elevator with many recruiters, with no risk to your privacy.
How is this different from a video CV?
A 2’MAX is recorded directly on the platform: the same format for everyone, no editing, under 2 minutes. It is not public, cannot be downloaded, and is only visible to the professionals you send it to. Its success does not depend on being a gifted communicator, but on how well your message matches what the recruiter is looking for. Your CV is your past; your 2’MAX is your present and your future.
Does a 2’MAX replace a CV?
No, it complements it: the CV describes your background, the 2’MAX reveals your personality, motivation and energy. It does, however, replace the cover letter, which many recruiters have stopped reading. A CV, a 2’MAX and a few lines in an email: perfect.
I’m not comfortable in front of a camera.
That is normal, and we have planned for it. No studio, no public broadcast: you record yourself from your computer or phone, just like a video call, with your notes on screen. And you decide who receives the secure link. Once your account is created, our tips help you prepare your first 30 seconds.
How do I add my video to an application?
All the recruiter needs is to be able to click the link to your 2’MAX: send it by email, paste it into a form, generate a PDF that replaces the cover letter, or add your unique QR code to your CV. The recruiter can view it as soon as their free professional account has been approved by our team.
Is it really free?
Yes, creating and sharing your 2’MAX is free, with no commitment. Premium is an option if you want to go further (view tracking, several profiles). Subscriptions from companies and employment support organizations fund most of the platform.
Does it take a lot of time?
A little preparation, yes. But once your video is done, you can share it with every recruiter: no more writing a different cover letter for each application.
