FaceCruit

Overview

FaceCruit brings asynchronous video prescreening and candidate presentation tools together for employers and job seekers. It is most useful to hiring teams that want to review recorded answers collaboratively, rather than conduct scheduled interviews. The main trade-off is a one-attempt recording rule for candidates, alongside no interview scheduling.

Key features

Employers set questions for candidates to answer on video, then can review, rate, comment on and share responses with colleagues. This gives a hiring team a way to compare candidates on its own time, but the single attempt can make the process unforgiving: candidates cannot redo an answer after a mistake or interruption.

The employer dashboard also supports video references, unique job URLs, application-status review, marketing material, and introductory and exit videos. Together, these tools extend the platform beyond prescreening, although teams that need to arrange live interview times will need another workflow.

Job seekers can create multiple job profiles, record video presentations and references, upload supporting documents and media, and add a LinkedIn profile. Their free offering includes up to five minutes of recording and unlimited editing, which is useful for preparing a concise presentation. That candidate allowance is distinct from the minute quotas on employer plans.

FaceCruit says its cloud storage includes Australian data storage. Its privacy policy describes security measures covering passwords, networks, computers, premises and documents, and says information is securely destroyed or de-identified when no longer required. The company says it is committed to the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The policy also mentions integration with related third-party software or employment platforms and use of Google Analytics, Facebook Business, HotJar and HubSpot CRM. FaceCruit identifies itself as an Australian company based in Adelaide, South Australia, and says it aims to respond to customer enquiries within 24 hours.

Pricing

FaceCruit has a free plan and paid employer subscriptions, with prices in different currencies. The Free plan is free, 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 employer workflow, but its minute allowance is modest compared with the paid tiers.

Silver costs A$49 a month and provides 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 choice among them is primarily about recording-minute capacity; the listed inclusions do not add seat or job caps to the lower tiers.

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 subscription, but the plan’s stated inclusions do not specify a minute allowance or the other branding and review tools included with Silver, Gold and Platinum. Job seekers separately receive up to five minutes of recording with unlimited editing at no cost.

Platforms

FaceCruit is available on Android, iOS and the web. The platform supports asynchronous recorded interviews and interview recording, but not interview scheduling.

Who it's for

FaceCruit suits employers that want candidates to answer set questions asynchronously and need colleagues to review and discuss recorded responses. Its job-profile and presentation tools also give job seekers a free way to prepare short video material. It is a weaker fit for hiring processes that depend on scheduling interviews, or for candidates who need the reassurance of a second recording attempt.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Shared review, ratings and comments let colleagues assess recorded answers without coordinating a live session.
• Pro: Unlimited jobs, users, interviews and references on the monthly paid plans mean the minute quota, rather than team size or job count, is the stated constraint.
• Pro: Job seekers can make multiple profiles and edit recordings without limit within their free five-minute recording allowance.
• Con: Candidates get one attempt per response, leaving no redo if an answer goes wrong.
• Con: No interview scheduling means teams needing scheduled conversations must handle that elsewhere.
• Con: The free employer plan is capped at 25 minutes, while the one-time Pay As You Go plan does not state a minute allowance.

Alternatives

Video Interview Software is a category page for readers comparing video interview tools more broadly.

• CandidReel is another freemium option with a free plan and a Pro plan at $79 a month, including 50 interviews a month, AI scoring and summaries, and scorecards and evaluations. Consider it if those assessment tools matter more than FaceCruit’s stated workflow.
• Hyring offers a free plan with 50 credits a month, one seat and one active job post, as well as a Pro plan at $79 a month. It may suit a team seeking a credit-based free entry point, though its free tier limits both seats and active jobs.
• EasyHire.me has paid plans billed per job monthly, including an entry plan at $49 a month with 10 interviews monthly and three team members. It is worth considering if per-job billing and a defined interview quota fit better than FaceCruit’s minute-based monthly tiers.
• IntervueBox has a free tier with 300 credits one time on signup, one user and no rollover or top-ups. Choose it only if that finite credit pool and single-user setup suit your needs.
• Yupcha offers a free plan; its paid plans unlock bulk invites, custom branding, API access and priority support. It may fit readers who prioritize those capabilities.
• Willo has no free plan and charges £49 a month per live role on Willo Lite, with up to five live roles and 150 assessed candidates per role. It is an option for teams comfortable paying by active role.
• Jobma is a paid alternative with Starter and Professional plans; its Starter includes one user, five active positions and unlimited one-way interviews.
• Truffle offers a seven-day free trial at no cost, with 30 credits and every feature unlocked. It may suit readers who want a short trial with full feature access before choosing a paid plan.

Verdict

Choose FaceCruit if your hiring team wants asynchronous video prescreening, shared candidate review and job-seeker presentation tools in one platform. Its paid tiers keep jobs, users and interviews unlimited, with minutes setting the main monthly limit. Look elsewhere if candidates need another take or your process depends on interview scheduling.
