Frequently asked questions.

Originally created for recruitment, the platform is used by:

• candidates, who record their 2’MAX from their computer or phone;
• companies, to discover candidates beyond the CV, instead of scheduling pre-qualification calls or video meetings;
• schools, training organizations, and employment and inclusion organizations, to support the people they work with in their progress and employability;
• selection organizers (admissions, competitions, calls for projects), with a simple experience for candidates and all profiles centralized in a professional interface.

It is free for candidates, who choose to add their 2’MAX to their CV or LinkedIn profile, or to send it to specific companies.

To view a 2’MAX, professionals create a free professional account, approved by 2 Minutes Max, limited to the last 3 2’MAX received. Companies, schools and organizations can take out a monthly or yearly subscription, with no commitment, from €99 excl. VAT/month: unlimited access to all profiles received, 24/7, and many features. See pricing.

Unlike YouTube or a video recorded on a phone, your video pitch cannot be downloaded. You can edit it, update it and deactivate it whenever you like: it is a secure, authentic, always up-to-date presentation, encrypted in our database, and you control who can access it. Recording is simple and accessible to everyone, with a built-in note-taking window.

For companies, it is the guarantee of an authentic video, which cannot be uploaded and is therefore guaranteed free of AI intervention.

Quite the opposite: it is far less discriminatory than a photo or other details on a CV that a recruiter might interpret, because we all have biases. With 2 Minutes Max, you are first facing a person speaking: you listen before you judge. It is a powerful weapon against CV bias (age, origin, address, disability…). Video gives people back their voice and restores fairness at the application stage, as a study conducted in Canada among candidates with disabilities has shown.

2 Minutes Max collects only the data that is strictly necessary and never passes your personal data on to third parties. Videos are hosted in France, on a dedicated server, encrypted, and can only be viewed by you and by the professionals you send the link to, once their account has been approved by our team. Your password is encrypted: it cannot be read by a third party.

From your account, you can suspend your profile’s visibility or permanently delete your account at any time. Finally, apart from audience measurement, which you can decline, we only use cookies that are strictly necessary for browsing.

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 and without the stress of an unprepared first contact.

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, in every profession. Your CV is your past; your 2’MAX is your present and your future.

No, it complements it: the CV describes your background, the 2’MAX reveals your personality, motivation and energy. For a candidate, it replaces the cover letter, which many recruiters have stopped reading. A CV, a 2’MAX and a few lines in an email: perfect. For companies, it often replaces the pre-qualification call or the first video meetings.

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. And you decide who to share the secure link with.

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 motivation PDF, 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.

Yes, creating your 2’MAX is free, with no commitment. Premium is an option if you want to go further (view tracking, several video profiles). Subscriptions from companies and employment support organizations fund most of the platform.

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.

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.

You have nothing to change. 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 same process, faster and more human.

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, and you really see who they are, without CV bias.

Because a poorly targeted video interview wastes everyone’s time. The 2’MAX is an asynchronous pre-interview: the candidate speaks when they are ready, you watch when you are. Fewer pointless appointments, richer final interviews.

Each video is recorded by the candidate themselves, on the platform, with 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.

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.
