How Vidyra works

One structured interview, recorded once, watched by the people who matter — with a clear record of every view.

For candidates

Always free

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Name, email, headline, location and links. No card, no trial, no paid tier.

  2. 2

    Upload your CV

    We show upload progress, processing state and the details we extracted so you can correct them.

  3. 3

    Record your interview

    One question at a time with preparation time, a recording timer, retakes and an accept step.

  4. 4

    Preview and finalize

    Watch it back before committing. Once finalized the interview is private and locked.

  5. 5

    Share a link

    Create an application link for a specific role. Only that link exposes the locked interview.

  6. 6

    See who watched

    The moment a recruiter unlocks it, you get a notification with their name, email and timestamp.

Privacy, consent and security

Interviews are private by default. Recording only begins after the candidate gives explicit consent, and the studio explains what is captured and where it is stored before the camera starts.

Media is written to private object storage. Playback in the browser always goes through a short-lived signed URL issued for one authorised viewer — raw storage locations are never rendered in the interface.

A recruiter can only reach an interview through a job they invited the candidate to, or a share link the candidate created. Every view writes an event the candidate can see, with account identity and timestamp.

Vidyra never scores candidates automatically and never makes hiring recommendations. This page describes the product's design intent and is not a legal compliance statement.

Architecture in this prototype

Vidyra is built around explicit service seams so the video pipeline can be swapped for real infrastructure without touching the product surface. In this build every seam below is a mock — nothing calls a live service.
