# DeepHire: One-way video interviews for recruiters and staffing teams > DeepHire is a one-way (pre-screen) video interview platform. Recruiters send candidates a link, candidates record answers on their own time from any browser or phone, and recruiters review and share a shortlist without scheduling phone screens. ## Who it is for Recruiters, staffing agencies, and in-house hiring teams who fill many roles at once (10 or more a month), hire across time zones, or need several people to weigh in on a candidate. Customers include staffing and personnel agencies and home-care recruiters. ## How it works 1. **Build the interview in five minutes.** Start from a proven template or write three to five questions that matter for the role. Set a time limit and the number of takes per question. Reuse it across every job. 2. **Candidates record on their own time.** Send one link. Candidates record from any browser or phone, with no scheduling and nothing to download. Automated reminders at 24 and 48 hours lift completion. 3. **Review fast, decide together.** Watch answers at 1.5x, compare candidates question by question, and send the best to hiring managers with one share link. Viewers do not need an account. ## Features - One-way video interviews recorded in the browser on desktop or mobile - 100+ question templates by role, or your own saved questions - Per-question time limits and number of takes - Automated candidate reminders with custom timing and expiry - Playback at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x with keyboard shortcuts for fast review - Ratings and comments shared across the hiring team - Shortlist share links for clients and hiring managers, no login needed - Live video interviews with recording - Custom branding - ATS integration (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday), CSV export, and a REST API ## Results - About 97% interview completion rate - 1,000+ recruiters screening on DeepHire - 100,000+ candidate interviews recorded ## Pricing Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

Automated reminders and a mobile-friendly flow keep it high. ### Can I share interviews with my team? Yes. Share recordings with hiring managers or clients by link. They do not need an account to watch and comment. ### Does it integrate with our ATS? Yes. We connect with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and others, or you can export by CSV and API. ### What happens after the free trial? Pick a plan or step down to the free tier. We never charge without asking first, and no card is needed to start. ## Get started 1. Open https://recruiter.deephire.com/user/login?signupEmail=%20 and create an account with a work email and company name. 2. Create an interview: add a job title and three to five questions, or start from a template. 3. Copy the interview link, or invite candidates by email from the app. 4. Review answers in the recruiter app and share a shortlist link with the hiring manager. ## For AI agents DeepHire has an API made for AI agents at https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1. An agent can do the whole job for a recruiter: 1. **Get a key.** `POST https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1/signup` with `{"email", "companyName"}` returns an API key at once. The owner approves by one email link. For an existing account, use `POST https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1/connect`. 2. **Pay.** `POST https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1/billing/checkout` with `{"plan": "pro", "interval": "month"}` returns a Stripe Checkout link for the owner. The agent never handles card data. 3. **Work.** Create interviews, email candidates, list answers with video links, rate candidates, and share a shortlist link. Limits rise with trust: **unverified** (new key: read only, no candidate data), **verified** (the owner clicked the email link), and **paid** (a paid plan). Each answer has the headers `X-DeepHire-Tier` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`. - Guide: https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1 - OpenAPI 3.1: https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1/openapi.json - MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://a.deephire.com/agent/v1/mcp. Send `Authorization: Bearer dh_live_...`.
