FaceCruit

FaceCruit is an online video recruitment platform for employers and job seekers, available on web, Android and iOS. Employers create questions for candidates to answer in asynchronous prescreening interviews; candidates get one attempt to record each response. Employers can review, rate, share and comment on responses with colleagues. The recruitment dashboard also supports video references, unique job URLs, introductory and exit videos, marketing material and application status review. Job seekers can create video presentations and references, upload supporting documents and media, make multiple job profiles and add a LinkedIn profile. Their free offering includes up to 5 minutes of recording and unlimited editing. FaceCruit also lists a Free plan at no cost, with no credit card required, up to 25 minutes, reference requests and a QR code. Paid monthly plans are A$49 a month for Silver, A$99 a month for Gold and A$199 a month for Platinum; Pay As You Go costs A$5,050, paid once. FaceCruit says it stores data in the cloud in Australia and identifies as an Australian company based in Adelaide.

FaceCruit supports video prescreening and related recruitment materials for both employers and job seekers. The one-attempt candidate recording rule and plan-specific recording allowances are important to consider.

It suits employers who want candidates to record video responses and teams that review and comment on those responses. Job seekers can use it to create video presentations, references and multiple job profiles.

FaceCruit is an asynchronous video recruitment platform for employers and job seekers. It best suits hiring teams that want to review recorded prescreening answers together, and candidates comfortable recording a single take. Its shared review tools are useful, but the one-attempt rule and interview-minute caps matter.

Overview

Employers create questions for candidates to answer by video, then review, rate, comment on and share responses with colleagues. This gives teams room to assess applicants without coordinating live conversations, but FaceCruit does not support interview scheduling. The one-attempt recording rule also makes the process less forgiving for candidates who stumble or need to redo an answer.

Key features

The recruitment dashboard combines prescreening with video references, unique job URLs, introductory and exit videos, marketing material and application-status review. That breadth can support a recorded-first hiring workflow in one place; teams seeking scheduled interviews will need another approach.

Job seekers can create multiple job profiles, make video presentations and references, upload supporting documents and media, and add a LinkedIn profile. Their free offering allows up to five minutes of recording with unlimited editing, a modest but practical allowance for a short introduction. Editing does not change the one-attempt rule for candidate responses to employer interview questions.

FaceCruit describes its storage as cloud based and says it provides Australian data storage. Its privacy policy commits to the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and describes password, network, computer, premises and document security, plus secure destruction or de-identification when information is no longer needed. The policy also mentions integration with related third-party software or employment platforms and the use of Google Analytics, Facebook Business, HotJar and HubSpot CRM. The company says it aims to respond to customer enquiries within 24 hours.

Pricing

FaceCruit is freemium, with a free plan and a free trial. The free plan costs nothing, requires no credit card, and includes up to 25 minutes, reference requests and a QR code. It offers a way to start without a subscription, but its minute cap is far below the paid monthly tiers.

Silver costs A$49 a month, billed monthly in AUD, and includes up to 200 minutes. Gold costs A$99 a month for up to 750 minutes, while Platinum costs A$199 a month for up to 2000 minutes. All three include unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references, plus a custom logo, customer support, introductory and exit videos, reviews and ratings, and a QR code. The increasing minute allowances make the tiers easier to distinguish than their otherwise shared features: Silver fits lower-volume use, while teams expecting more recordings can weigh Gold or Platinum against their monthly budget.

Pay As You Go costs A$5,050, paid once and includes unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references, plus a QR code. It avoids a monthly charge, but its one-time price is a substantial upfront commitment. The job seeker offering is separate: it is free for up to five minutes of recording with unlimited editing, not an extension of the employer plans’ minute quotas.

Platforms

FaceCruit is available on Android, iOS and the web. The platform is described as including a mobile application as well as its online service.

Who it's for

FaceCruit is a better fit for employers who want asynchronous prescreening, shared response review and supporting recruitment materials, especially when a paid plan’s recording allowance matches their volume. Job seekers can use its free presentation tools for a short profile video. It is a weaker choice for teams that require interview scheduling or candidates who need more than one attempt to record answers.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Colleagues can share, rate and comment on candidate recordings, supporting collaborative review without scheduling a live interview.

• The free employer plan needs no credit card, and paid monthly plans include unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references.
• Job seekers receive up to five minutes of free recording with unlimited editing.

Cons

• Candidates get only one attempt to record responses to employer questions, leaving no retake for mistakes or interruptions.
• The employer free plan is capped at 25 minutes, and the paid monthly plans also have finite recording allowances.
• Interview scheduling is not supported, limiting its fit for teams that need scheduled conversations.
• The Pay As You Go plan’s A$5,050, paid once price requires a sizable upfront payment.

Alternatives

Video Interview Software is the broader category to compare when you want to survey video-interview options. Consider CandidReel instead if its $79 a month Pro plan’s 50 interviews per month, AI scoring and summaries, and scorecards suit your evaluation workflow. Truffle may suit buyers who prefer a paid product with a seven-day free trial that unlocks every feature. Consider Interviewer.AI if its Essential Edition allowance of 50 interview credits per month, three job posts and 15 user licenses fits your needs. Jobma is another paid option to compare. One Way Interview is also a paid alternative with a free trial. RecRam is a paid alternative with a free trial. Shine Interview is another paid option. Vieple offers a 14-day free trial for video interviewing.

Verdict

Choose FaceCruit if your hiring team wants asynchronous prescreening with shared reviews and useful supporting recruitment tools, and its minute allowance suits your workload. Look elsewhere if candidates need retakes or your process depends on scheduling interviews.
