In the platform
All your candidates on video, in one place.

- Always the latest version of each candidate, at the same link.
Video recruitment, in pictures.
Candidates on video, before the interview: fewer calls, more human contact.
The paradox
More applications, fewer reliable signals.
AI-optimized CVs all look alike, cover letters are often generated, and pre-qualification calls take forever.
The problem is no longer attracting candidates, but quickly understanding who you really need to meet. The CV filters; the 2’MAX reveals motivation, the way someone expresses themselves, their goals.
Case study
Qwetch: half the recruitment time saved.
Thanks to the tool’s smooth integration with Welcome to the Jungle, Qwetch put people at the heart of its selection by assessing candidates’ personality and communication skills, beyond a cold CV.
- Time saved. Matthieu estimates he saved 50% of the total recruitment time, by drastically cutting pre-qualification interviews.
- Qualification. For the sales position, 150 CVs received led to a selection of six highly qualified profiles for an in-person interview, with a 75% response rate on the videos requested.
- Better matching. The video acts as a “natural selection”, ensuring motivation and a good personality fit, so interviews can focus on technical skills.
Make the right choice in three weeks.
Week 1: screen the CVs.
Publish the job ad asking for a CV first, and announce the video step. Keep a broad longlist.
Week 2: ask for their 2’MAX.
By email or through your ATS, shortlisted candidates send their link. Watch and share internally.
Week 3: meet the shortlist.
Targeted interviews with candidates you have already “met”, without the pressure of a first contact.
What you receive instead of a cover letter.
A voice, energy, motivation: discover excerpts from real 2’MAX pitches.
These videos are normally confidential. These candidates made an exception and agreed to share them.
Case study
200 applications, one month to hire.
To hire their sales and marketing director, the co-founders of the start-up Bonvan relied on 2 Minutes Max.
- More than 200 applications received.
- A first CV screening: 50 candidates invited to send their 2’MAX.
- 28 videos received, 10 candidates interviewed, 3 finalists.
- A process completed in one month, “feeling more confident when making the final choice”.
At Octika, 700 CVs were received for 3 sales positions: the hires were completed in less than a month, with the HR director and the CEO involved.
Beyond recruitment
Trainers, speakers, job ads.
The same format works for all your selections.
- Selecting a trainer or a speaker: each one introduces themselves on video, and you compare with peace of mind.
- Pitching your own job offers: the video job ad, included in the PRO plan, presents the role and the team to candidates.
- Entrusting the shortlisting to an agency: the 2’MAX enriches the shortlist it presents to you.
Recruiting with 2 Minutes Max
Does it really save time in my hiring?
Yes, a great deal. Watching a 2’MAX comes after CV screening, instead of pre-qualification calls or video meetings. You discover candidates when it suits you, in a few minutes, with no appointments to schedule. Our clients see up to a 50% reduction in time to hire, while meeting twice as many candidates.
How will it affect our current processes and tools?
You don’t need to change anything. 2 Minutes Max fits between the CV and the interview: you screen CVs as you do today (manually, with your ATS or with AI), then invite the most interesting profiles to record their 2’MAX. The link can be pasted into your ATS or shared by email.
If I don’t have time to read 200 CVs, how can I watch 200 videos?
You don’t watch them all. You filter the CVs first, then invite the 30 to 50 most promising profiles to record their 2’MAX. In an hour and a half, you discover 25 people instead of calling 10.
How do I avoid “fake” or AI-generated profiles?
Each video is recorded by the candidate themselves, on the platform, with no uploads, no AI and no editing. You hear their voice, see their body language, sense their sincerity: it is the surest way to avoid artificial or copied profiles.
Do candidates play along?
Yes: the format is short, confidential and rewarding. More than 80% of invited candidates record their video. Those who don’t also tell you something: the video acts as a natural motivation filter.
How does 2 Minutes Max help reduce bias?
By making you listen before you judge. When you click a 2’MAX link, you are facing a person speaking, not a photo or a CV. All candidates are on an equal footing, whatever their origin, age or background.
