Pros
It was already great when we started, and the team continues to work on their roadmap and improve the product regularly. I love how easy it is to use this tool.
Will use the platform for 2nd level recruitment after a first screening of candidates. So far everything seems to work just fine and I hope there will be new exciting features in the future added.
Love the clean and organized UX of Playhunt which makes it so easy to find everything right away without the need of help.
It helps you automate the entire hiring process and this will save thousands of hours over the course of the year. Glad I scooped up this deal.
Cons
One aspect of Playhunt that I found slightly inconvenient was the limited customization options for the video survey templates.
I regret that the recording starts immediately, as soon as the question is read. The time for recording is also much too short.
Getting error videos can be frustrating, but usually you will see one video that is 6 seconds long and one that is 1 minute long and that tips you off which one to open.
I wished they had a toggle on interviews which would allow interviewers to choose whether candidates can rerecord an interview, in case of an error in their response.

"Simple, effective & excellent video interview tool"
Overall: So easy & simple. It just works!
Pros: It just keeps getting better! We've been using PH for a few years now: first because it was integrated into another one of our tools, and then directly. It was already great when we started, and the team continues to work on their roadmap and improve the product regularly. I love how easy it is to use this tool. Anyone can create a job and interview with series of questions and deploy it to candidates within minutes. And, the ratings/review features are so simple and easy. UI has also been recently improved. It just does what it needs to, and very well.
Cons: There are some features I'd like to see implemented to make Playhunt even more useful, but it already does everything well.
"Simple product with a highly responsive team"
Overall: I really wanted the ability to download video responses, which wasn't available when I first purchased the product. I reached out to the management team, and within a week this feature was added. I'm very pleased with the team's customer support and responsiveness, and if they keep up this level of quality of service they will surely become a leader in their field
Pros: The best part of the software is how quickly you can get set up and started with the product. Within minutes you can start receiving video responses to your interview questions or collect video responses to surveys
Cons: I wished they had a toggle on interviews which would allow interviewers to choose whether candidates can rerecord an interview, in case of an error in their response. Currently, if the candidate is distracted during their response by a child walking in during the response, or another problem, they need to submit another interview, meaning the interviewer needs to watch multiple responses from the same candidate rather than just the correct final response.
"Easy & Simple to use"
Pros: Easy to use video recording system for recruitment
Cons: No integration with AI to generate questions or rate interviews
"One-Way Video Interview Software"
Overall: As part of the tools in our recruiting arsenal, we are a big fan of One-Way Video Interviews. Of course, there is a time and a place for this this strategy. When we do use this method, we find that Playhunt has become the option of choice due to the ease of use for the candidates. The videos render almost immediately, and the feedback from the candidates have been that they enjoy the experience.
Pros: Easy for candidates, easy for the staff.
Cons: It sends up to 3 videos as it can let the candidate re-record if they want. I would prefer that it would let the candidate choose the final video they want to send. Getting error videos can be frustrating, but usually you will see one video that is 6 seconds long and one that is 1 minute long and that tips you off which one to open.
"1 year with Playhunt: an elevated hiring experience "
Overall: Playhunt has revolutionized our candidate assessment process over the previous year. We are now effortlessly evaluating candidates by sharing a link. Setting up the platform with our logo, custom messaging and tailored interview questions was a breeze. The support team is quick, efficient and friendly! Art and his team have delivered an outstanding performance with Playhunt, significantly enhancing our recruitment experience and saving us tons of time otherwise spent in making calls, scheduling meetings, travel, etc.
Pros: 1) Easy setup of platform, customized messaging, logo, white-labeling with our custom domain and creating interview questions. 2) Creating new interviews for new job roles is quick and easy. 3) Prompt support team. 4) Ease of use for candidates and hiring managers.
Cons: 1) It would be great if we can search for candidates by their names to quickly retrieve a video submission. 2) Technical settings like restricting the number of attempts would be nice.
"A new way of selecting workers"
Overall: Solved problems: - Organizing selection processes in the company - Have a selection filter, with flexibility for the selection team, no long days of interview meetings. - Flexibility for interviews. Benefits: - Application of forms through video where I can look at the person, analyze their non-verbal language and get to know them more deeply, analyze their personality. - To have deeper answers without the need of a synchronous contact.
Pros: I think it has never been so easy to conduct interviews through digital media in such an organized way, we have had the opportunity to receive applications in a form, review the data and pre-selected people, send a playhunt link for them to respond with a video interview and generate a much deeper process, it is certainly a new way to receive information and comprehensively evaluate the person who answers the questions.
Cons: The only issue to improve is that in the white label option, you could have a CNAME for the system to work with a fully customized domain, not a subdomain.playhunt but a 100% customizable url.

"Efficient Candidate Screening with Playhunt"
Overall: Overall, my experience with Playhunt has been positive. It has significantly reduced the time and effort required for candidate screening, allowing our team to focus on selecting the best-fit candidates for our vacancies.
Pros: I appreciate Playhunt's streamlined candidate screening process, particularly its efficient video interview feature that enables quick assessment of applicants' skills and qualifications.
Cons: One area for improvement could be enhancing the user interface to make navigation more intuitive for first-time users.
"Great tool to improve hiring process"
Overall: I purchased this solution and got it set up in 10 minutes. My initial test interviews look great. I am excited to implement this tool in our hiring process to reduce the time spent on interviews where the candidate looks great on paper, but the live interview tells a different story. We also interview candidates in different time zones, and this tool will help us better manage our schedules for candidates we feel are more suitable for the position. As a platform, it works very well, is intuitive, and user friendly. I was able to set up my account, create an interview and send it without reading the help section. On the receiving end, the process is straightforward. Candidates are guided through an easy-to-understand process and are quickly able to record their video interview. 'Happy to have found this solution and am looking forward to using it regularly to improve our hiring process.
Cons: I would like the option to make the candidate invitation link usable only once and then expire. Again, this better simulates a live interview where you can't pause or request a "do-over."
"Playhunt's Video Interview Platform - A Game Changer for Candidate Screening!"
Pros: the feature that I like the most is the platform's video interview capability, which allows candidates to record their responses to pre-determined questions. This has significantly streamlined our recruitment process, as we are able to get a better sense of a candidate's communication skills and personality before inviting them for an in-person interview.
Cons: Playhunt currently does not offer pre-determined interview questions, a suggestion could be to consider adding a feature that provides a list of sample questions for recruiters to choose from. These questions could be tailored to different job positions and industries, and could be categorized based on the skills and attributes that the recruiter is looking for in a candidate.
"Super Impressive Interview Product"
Pros: I've been super impressed with this product. I've actually been using it for other things outside of it's original purpose (vodcast interview rather than job interviews). But it keeps impressing me with how mature the product is. If you need a product to help you streamline the interview process, give Playhunt a try. You'll be impressed.
Cons: Not a lot to dislike here...but I guess the UI could probably use some help. The UX is fine...but a little more UI love would help.
"Très bon début, j'ai hâte de voir l'évolution"
Overall: Le produit nous fait gagner beaucoup de temps, nous sommes une agence et nous trions des centaines de profils de candidats par semaine, donc imaginez le temps gagné sur 100 interview au bureau comparé à 100 interview enregistrés sur PlayHunt et vus en 1-2h par la suite
Pros: La marque blanche et l’image de marque qu’elle créeOptions et paramètresLa réactivité du supportl'expérience candidat, je l'ai testé et c'est pas mal pour le moment, bien sûr, il y a des choses à améliorer
Cons: Pas d'option de rappel par SMS pour le moment, mais ça viendra j'espèreOn peut peut-être penser à créer une candidature avec un compte entreprise/candidatlors du partage d'un entretien, nous voyons la réponse vidéo mais pas la question à laquelle le candidat répond
"A word of thanks to the creators."
Overall: I am a recruiter who works alone. It is very important for me to buy time for other processes. Play Hunt allows me to do that.
Pros: I can speak highly enough about Play Hunt's video interview service! The platform is intuitive and easy to use, making it easy to plan and conduct interviews with candidates. The video and audio quality is top-notch, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for interviewees and interviewers alike. I wholeheartedly recommend Play Hunt to anyone looking for a reliable and effective video interviewing solution.
Cons: The only thing I don't like about it is that it's not completely free.)
"Revolutionizing Hiring with Video"
Pros: Playhunt is a game-changer in the world of hiring, offering a unique and innovative approach to conducting video surveys for the best hiring decisions. This platform harnesses the power of technology to streamline the recruitment process and provide employers with invaluable insights into potential candidates.
Cons: One aspect of Playhunt that I found slightly inconvenient was the limited customization options for the video survey templates. While the platform does offer the ability to create customized video surveys, I would have appreciated more flexibility in terms of the layout and design. It would be great to have additional options for branding and personalization to align the surveys more closely with the company's image and values. However, despite this minor limitation, Playhunt still provides a highly effective and user-friendly solution for video surveys in the hiring process.
"Very good to recruit volunteers for Non Profit Organizations"
Overall: Having a first visual contact with our future volunteers is very important for us given that we are publishing a hybrid interactive web TV.So, it’s really great.
Pros: - The product is very well designed- The front-end and the back-end are pleasant to use with useful functions for the purpose of the platform: to make a pre-recruitment more human than having to read a simple CV and a cover letter which are the more often sent en masse by candidates.- I will clearly use it for our non-profit association in order to recruit volunteers.- Couple with the possibility of posting ads for free on LINKEDIN and the solution would be really powerful.
Cons: - I regret that the recording starts immediately, as soon as the question is read.- The time for recording is also much too short.It would be imperative to correct this so that the solution is perfect for our use.
"Efficient and Precise tool for video interviews"
Pros: Playhunt's intuitive platform made the entire experience seamless and user-friendly. We were able to navigate the software effortlessly, set up assessments, review candidate videos, and collaborate with our team members seamlessly. The platform's user-friendly interface significantly reduced the learning curve, allowing us to get up and running quickly.
Cons: While Playhunt offers various features and functionalities, we would have liked to see more integrations with other popular tools or platforms commonly used in the recruitment process. Integration with applicant tracking systems (ATS) or HR management software would further streamline our workflow and enhance data synchronization.
"Saves us countless hours by focusing ONLY on candidate screening! "
Overall: Overall, we were looking for a simple tool that would help us get a sense of how our candidates communicate and their personalities. This helps immensely and I'm sure we'll use it for a long time into the future!
Pros: It's a very simple tool, which can be deceiving at first. But as soon as you start using it, you'll be shocked at how quickly you can actually get a video screener set-up, white-labeled, and shared with candidates. Love that we can scan between responses, grade, and leave feedback right on the candidate profile.
Cons: Would love to see a bit more customization around some of the text that is shown to candidates when they are launching the tool. Would also love to see a bit more brand control. On the contact record, would love to see a bit more functionality to leave more feedback. HRIS, ATS and Zapier integrations would also be amazing too.
"Innovative and useful tool"
Pros: Idea behind: you save a lot of time interviewing people with very good results: you are able to see the body language and most of the evaluations that can be done in person. Furthermore, it can be used for other purposes too (e.g. video reviews). Finally, it's available in different languages.
Cons: Monthly number of interview could be higher. Quality of localization (Italian) could be a bit better. Apart from this, it is a wonderfool and easy-to-use tool for small organizations

"Recruitment Gamechanger"
Overall: A+++++++ Product & highly recommended!
Pros: Playhunt.io is a complete game changer & an amazing platform to prescreen candidates via video surveys. A must-have-tool in the hybrid/remote world of work we all live in these days.
Cons: The lack of reporting, but that will come.
"One of The Best Video Interview Platform"
Overall: it was really good till date
Pros: Very Easy to Use, no need to handle a rock with this platform
Cons: Some sort of appearance, but they are keep upgrading all the time.
"Máxima eficiencia en la pre-selección de candidatos"
Overall: Los procesos de reclutamiento y selección consumen tanto tiempo... Con Playhunt ya no tenemos que revisar los CVs uno por uno con atención para solo convocar a unos cuantos candidatos a entrevista. Le damos oportunidad a más candidatos de platicarnos cómo podrían aportar a nuestra empresa. Hacemos entonces una pre-selección más ágil de los candidatos: - Playhunt es fácil de uso - Nos ahorra horas de trabajo - Nos permite a nosotros y a los candidatos tener flexibilidad de horario para atender las entrevistas por ser asíncronas.
Pros: Llevar a cabo entrevistas asincronas nos ha permitido: - entrevistas mucho más breves (entre 3 y 10 minutos) - más candidatos pre seleccionados - podemos revisar las entrevistas en cualquier momento, o sea permite un mejor manejo del tiempo de Recursos Humanos
Cons: Todavía podría mejorar poniendo límites: - tiempo limitado entre el momento en que el candidato lee la pregunta y empieza a grabar su respuesta - tiempo limitado para contestar la pregunta - fecha limite para grabar la entrevista
"Best platform for job interviews"
Overall: This is the best platform I have used so far in my business to interview applicants. It makes the process so easy. You will love it!
Pros: Its easy to set up and send a simple link to interviewees for my company
Cons: The platform requires some basic understanding of how to use the webiste.
"Easy video recruitment tool "
Overall: I am quite happy whit Palyhunt. I absolutley can recommend Playhunt. I use it whit ease and almost anybody regardles of tecnical skill can use it. It is a no brainer , just by it :)
Pros: It is easy to use both for the recruiter and the candidate. It delivers what it promises. It is a tool for prescreening and that's it. Its perfect for small teams that do not handle a large amount of candidates.
Cons: It could have more branding options and better whitelabeling.
"Next Level Recruitment"
Pros: Love the clean and organized UX of Playhunt which makes it so easy to find everything right away without the need of help. Will use the platform for 2nd level recruitment after a first screening of candidates. So far everything seems to work just fine and I hope there will be new exciting features in the future added.
Cons: So far things work as they should be, thanks.
"Great product to perform non-personal interviews and filter candidates."
Overall: It´s very helpful to be able to see and hear candidates prior to personal interviews and saving time. Just send the links and the videos of candidates are uploaded to the platform so they can answer at their best convenient time and I can revise it when it´s convenient for me too.
Pros: It´s very easy to use and really user friendly. No need to read instructions prior to use it.
Cons: Not being able to see a pause or an indicator between answers, but in the instructions for candidates I just ask them to read the questions aloud and problem solved!
