Video outreach passive candidates actually watch

From your campaign brief. When you set up a recruiting campaign, you write a short brief — the role title, must-have skills, comp and perks, and the honest why-join. That brief is the per-campaign layer of your Context Layer, and it grounds every video script and email in the campaign. Combined with AI research on each candidate's background, the output reflects your real role and your real pitch — not a generic company line. The role title appears verbatim, comp is cited only if you fill it in, and the AI never invents numbers.

We don't publish a response-rate figure. Outvid is early and has no recruiting send corpus to measure one from, so any multiple here would be invented. What we can describe is what changes. InMails have conditioned passive candidates to skim and delete, and a template is what they are skimming. Outvid sends a short video in your real face and voice that ties your role's must-have skills to what that candidate has actually shipped. Run it against your own InMail baseline and judge it on your numbers, not ours.

Not when the On-camera Persona is built from your own recording. Candidates see you, hear your voice, and get a message that references their specific background and your real role brief — the reaction is almost universally positive surprise. The personalization signals effort, which is exactly what passive candidates respond to. Outvid is transparent that your likeness powers the video; we don't hide it.

Yes. You can refine the brief after launch while the campaign keeps running. If comp changes or the hiring manager adds a must-have skill, update the brief mid-flight and new sends pick it up immediately. Your in-flight candidates and the recruiting strategy stay intact — you're just sharpening the details.

Outvid exports personalized video links via CSV for use in Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, or any ATS that accepts file uploads. You don't need a native integration — drop the CSV into your ATS import flow and candidate records get the personalized video URL attached. For teams using HubSpot or Salesforce as their candidate CRM, Outvid has native OAuth sync, which also feeds context back into your campaigns.

Video outreach operates through your standard email and messaging channels — the same lawful-basis obligations that apply to your existing recruiter outreach apply here. You control which candidates enter a campaign, and Outvid stores only the data you provide. For EU candidate sourcing, ensure you have documented lawful basis (typically legitimate interest for B2B recruiting) before campaigns launch.

Yes. Agency recruiters use it for contract and perm volume where speed and scale matter — one On-camera Persona, hundreds of personalized candidate touches, all grounded in the same role brief. Executive search firms use it for the opposite: low-volume, high-seniority outreach where a personalized video is often the only way to get a response from a VP or C-level candidate who ignores text outreach entirely.
