VidResume

Turning PDF resumes into 45-second video introductions.

A two-sided product that helps candidates record a confident video resume with an AI-generated script and built-in teleprompter, then hands recruiters a browsable feed of video profiles with like and shortlist.

The problem

Traditional resumes are flat — recruiters scan them for seconds and lose signal on the qualities that actually matter in interviews. Most video-resume tools fail because nobody records themselves cold; completion rates sit in the single digits. The hiring funnel loses its highest-signal moment.

What we built

01

Candidate flow

Upload resume → AI generates a tailored introduction script → record with a built-in teleprompter → get a public profile with a unique URL and QR code. Unlimited retakes. Full privacy controls — public, unlisted, or recruiter-only.

02

Recruiter feed

A first-class recruiter experience: browsable candidate feed, like and shortlist, full video profile views, and direct outreach to shortlisted candidates. The recruiter side was built in parallel, not bolted on.

03

Shareable artifact

One clean URL plus a QR code means the profile works in an email signature, on a business card, or on LinkedIn. Candidates own the artifact — full delete is first-class.

04

Design & motion

A cohesive design system with thoughtful motion, dark mode, and a brand voice closer to a consumer product than a typical B2B HR tool. Admin tooling was treated with the same level of care as the candidate flow.
