FaceCruit

Overview

FaceCruit is an asynchronous video recruitment platform for employers and job seekers. It is best suited to teams that want to collect prescreening answers and review them together, alongside job seekers who want video profiles and references. Its broad employer workflow is useful, but one recording attempt and no interview scheduling make it a poor fit for live or forgiving interview processes.

Key features

Employers set questions for candidates to answer on video, then can review, rate, comment on and share responses with colleagues. That makes team feedback possible without coordinating everyone’s calendars, though the single-attempt rule can penalize candidates for a stumble or interruption.

The recruitment dashboard includes video referencing, unique job URLs, application-status review, marketing material, and introductory and exit videos. These tools support more than prescreening, but they do not change the product’s asynchronous focus. FaceCruit does not offer interview scheduling.

Job seekers can build multiple job profiles, record 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 useful way to prepare a concise presentation. This is distinct from the employer plans’ interview-minute quotas.

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

Pricing

The free employer plan costs nothing, requires no credit card and includes up to 25 minutes, reference requests and a QR code. It is a low-commitment way to try the workflow, but the limited minutes make it better for occasional use than sustained hiring.

Silver costs A$49 a month and raises the allowance to 200 minutes. It includes unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references, plus a custom logo, customer support, introductory and exit videos, reviews and ratings, and a QR code. Gold costs A$99 a month for up to 750 minutes, with the same stated feature set; Platinum costs A$199 a month for up to 2000 minutes, also with the same feature set. The choice among these paid monthly tiers is primarily about recording volume, not added listed capabilities. All three avoid seat caps, but teams should weigh the monthly fee against their expected minutes.

Pay As You Go costs A$5,050, paid once and includes unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references, plus a QR code. It removes the stated minute ceiling, but lacks the custom logo, customer support, introductory and exit videos, and reviews and ratings included with Silver and higher tiers. For employers wanting those capabilities, a monthly plan is the more complete choice.

Platforms

FaceCruit is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its mobile application is part of the platform, so it can suit users who need access beyond a desktop browser.

Who it's for

FaceCruit fits employers that can screen candidates asynchronously and want colleagues to rate or comment on recorded answers. It is also relevant to job seekers who want to present a video profile, references and supporting materials. Employers who depend on scheduled interviews or candidates who need a retake should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Colleague sharing, ratings and comments let hiring teams assess recorded answers collaboratively.
• Pro: Unlimited users, jobs, interviews and references on Silver, Gold and Platinum avoid per-seat constraints as a team grows.
• Pro: Job seekers can create multiple profiles and references, with five free recording minutes and unlimited editing.
• Con: Candidates get one attempt per response, leaving no opportunity to redo an answer.
• Con: There is no interview scheduling, which rules out teams seeking an end-to-end live interview workflow.
• Con: Free employer use is capped at 25 minutes, while greater usage requires moving to paid monthly tiers or the one-time plan.

Alternatives

Compare video interview software if you want to consider a broader set of options.

Consider CandidReel if AI scoring and summaries, scorecards and evaluations, or a stated 50-interview monthly Pro plan are more relevant than FaceCruit’s minute-based tiers.

Hyring is another option if its Free plan’s 50 monthly credits, one seat, one active job post and English-only AI voice suit your needs; its Pro plan is $79 a month.

Choose EasyHire.me if per-job monthly interview packages fit better: its entry plan is $49 a month for 10 interviews and three team members, while standard is $99 a month for 100 interviews.

IntervueBox may suit teams seeking a one-time signup credit allowance and resume parsing, with its free tier including 300 credits and 100 resumes parsed per month for one user.

Yupcha is an alternative with a free plan; its paid plans unlock bulk invites, custom branding, API access and priority support.

Consider KitaHQ if its HireOS Pro yearly plan’s stated AI-processed candidate allowance and AI video interviews are a closer match.

Glider AI Interview Software is another paid option, offered standalone or as a talent quality platform suite on a license or enterprise hiring-program basis.

Recright may be worth considering if its Easy 10 package—€300 a month for 10 positions and unlimited user seats—better suits your hiring setup.

Verdict

Choose FaceCruit if your recruitment process depends on asynchronous video prescreening and shared colleague review, or if job seekers need profiles and references. Its free employer tier offers a modest way to start, and paid monthly plans scale the minute allowance without restricting users or jobs. Look elsewhere if interviews need scheduling or candidates need more than one recording attempt.
