You're drowning in resumes that all look the same

You post a job. You get 150 applications. They all have "excellent communication skills" and "strong team player" on their resumes.

So you schedule phone screens with 15 people.

After spending 7.5 hours on calls, you discover:

  • 6 can't articulate their experience clearly
  • 4 have energy that doesn't match your team culture
  • 3 can communicate, but you're still not sure they're the right fit
  • 2 might actually be good

You've wasted 6+ hours on people you could have ruled out in 30 seconds if you'd just SEEN them communicate first.

Sound familiar?

What if you could see them communicate before you call them?

SoapBoxGen gives you something LinkedIn, Indeed, and your ATS don't: a 30-second video introduction from every candidate.

⏱️

See in 30 Seconds What Takes 30 Minutes

Know if they can communicate clearly, match your team's energy, and seem genuinely interested—all before picking up the phone.

🎯

Screen 10 Candidates in 5 Minutes

Watch video intros while drinking your morning coffee. Flag 2-3 for calls. Delete the rest. Move on with your day.

Only Call Candidates Worth Your Time

How do you know the videos are authentic?

All Videos Are Recorded Natively in the Platform

Candidates cannot upload pre-recorded videos. Everything is recorded live in SoapBoxGen's browser-based platform, which means:

  • No professional editing or post-production
  • No outsourcing to video production services
  • What you see is what you get

Quality Coaching, Not Professional Production

Candidates receive real-time guidance on framing, lighting, and audio—but the content is 100% them. Think of it like spell-check for video: it helps them present well, but it's still their authentic self.

You Can Trust What You See

Every video represents how that person actually communicates. If they stumble, restart, or aren't perfectly polished—that's real. And it tells you more than a perfectly edited LinkedIn profile ever could.

How do we prevent bias in video screening?

Video can introduce bias—but so can resumes. The key is using it responsibly.

Best Practices We Recommend

  • Watch all videos or none. Don't selectively watch based on names, schools, or other resume signals.
  • Use structured evaluation. Rate candidates on specific criteria (communication clarity, relevance of experience, enthusiasm for role).
  • Blind reviews when possible. Have team members watch videos without seeing resumes first to reduce anchoring bias.
  • Focus on content, not presentation style. Evaluate what they say, not how they look or sound.

What We DON'T Do

  • No AI personality analysis or emotion detection
  • No algorithmic scoring based on facial features or voice patterns
  • No ranking or filtering based on video attributes

You're in control. Video is input, not a decision-making algorithm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do candidates have to pay?

Yes—candidates pay a one-time $29-49 fee to create their video profile. This ensures only serious candidates apply and reduces spam applications.

Can I require video for applications?

No. Video should be optional to avoid discrimination concerns. Use it as a helpful tool for candidates who want to stand out, not a requirement.

What if candidates don't want to do video?

They can still apply with a traditional resume. Video is an option for candidates who want to differentiate themselves, not a mandatory hurdle.

How long does it take to review videos?

30 seconds per candidate. Most hiring managers watch 10 videos in under 5 minutes during their morning coffee.

Can I share videos with my team?

Yes (with Premium plan, launching Q2 2026). Share candidate videos with hiring managers, interviewers, and HR partners.

Is this GDPR / privacy compliant?

Yes. Candidates control their own videos and choose to share them with you. We follow data protection regulations.
