Personal video for recruiters
Short answer: Recruiters use Yibily to follow up personally with candidates they have spoken to and with hiring clients. Each person gets a video with their name in your voice, the hiring company's website or careers page on screen, and the next step. It is built for people you already have a conversation with, not cold sourcing at scale.
Who this is for
- Agency and search recruiters who work with candidates and hiring clients at the same time.
- In-house recruiters and talent acquisition teams who want candidates to feel looked after between steps.
- Independent and executive search consultants whose business runs on relationships and referrals.
Use cases
- After a screening call: a recap of the role and what happens next, with the hiring company's careers page on screen.
- Before an interview: a short note on who they will meet and how to prepare.
- After an interview: a thank-you for their time and an honest update on timing.
- Hiring clients: a follow-up after an intake call, or a personal introduction to a shortlist you are sending.
- Referrals: a thank-you to the person who referred a candidate. See thank-you and follow-up.
- On LinkedIn: a follow-up in the message thread with a candidate you have already spoken to. See LinkedIn follow-ups.
Which page shows on screen
Most candidates do not have a business website. For candidates, show the hiring company's website or its careers page instead. For hiring clients, show their own website, as usual.
Which plan fits
Recruiters who follow up with many candidates each week usually need Growth (50 videos a month) or Pro (90). For a recruiting team, contact us. See pricing.
Before you send
- Keep it fair. Use the same main message for every candidate in a role, so each one hears the same information.
- Keep personal details out. No salary, age, health, or other personal information in the video. Use the candidate's first name and the public company page only.
- Follow your client's rules on how the company and the role may be described before the role is public.
- Send to people you have spoken with, not to scraped lists. You send each video yourself.
How revisions work
- Name, link and website fixes: free, up to 2 per contact video, within 10 days of the video being built. We rebuild only that contact's video.
- Greeting re-take (saying the name again): $0.50 per contact video.
- Changing part of your main message: $2.50 per 15 seconds of new wording, or part of 15 seconds. A 5-second change is $2.50. A 20-second change is $5.00. The same at every length.
- Re-cutting the whole main message: $0.50 per second of the main being re-cut. An uploaded main video gets the same 75% discount.
Frequently asked questions
How do recruiters use personal video?
To follow up with candidates after a screening call or interview, to prepare them before an interview, and to follow up with hiring clients. Each video opens with the person's name in the recruiter's voice.
Can I use it for cold sourcing?
No. It is built for candidates and clients you have already spoken to. Send each video yourself, to people who expect to hear from you.
What shows on screen for a candidate?
Usually the hiring company's website or careers page, since most candidates do not have a business website of their own.
Does it work with my applicant tracking system or CRM?
CRM integration is coming. For now you add contacts from a list with their name and the page to show, and send each video yourself.
Can a recruiting team use it?
Yes. Each recruiter records their own main video and voice. Contact us about team pricing.
