How to Share a Video Interview with a Recruiter

Learn the easiest, most secure ways to send your video interview to a recruiter without losing quality or stressing over file sizes.

You’ve recorded your video interview — now comes the moment that actually gets you noticed: sharing it with the recruiter.

It sounds simple, but many candidates lose opportunities because they:

  • Compress the video so much that it’s pixelated.
  • Send it as a massive file that never gets opened.
  • Upload to the wrong platform and accidentally make it public.

With Videolink, you can skip all those headaches. Here’s how to make sure your video interview reaches the right person, in the best possible quality, every time.

Step 1: Record Your Video Interview the Smart Way

Whether you’re answering one-way video interview questions or sending a proactive video job application, start with a tool that’s built for hiring.

With Videolink:

  • Record directly in your browser — no need for separate software.
  • Re-record until it’s perfect.
  • Your video is stored securely in the cloud.

Step 2: Share a Secure Link Instead of a File

Instead of sending a large file attachment, Videolink gives you a private, secure link.

Why recruiters love this:

  • No downloads required — they click and watch instantly.
  • Works on any device, even on mobile.
  • You stay in control — only those with the link can view.

💡 Fun fact: 69% of employers now have video interviews built directly into their recruitment workflows. Sharing your video in a recruiter-friendly format can instantly make you stand out.

Step 3: Add a Short, Professional Message

When you send your link, always include a brief message in your email or application portal.

Example email:

Hi [Recruiter Name],

Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the [Position Name] role.

Here’s my video interview: [Videolink URL]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

Step 4: Confirm They’ve Viewed It

One of the best features in Videolink is that you can see when your video has been watched. This gives you confidence that it was received and viewed — and helps you follow up at the right time.

Step 5: Keep a Copy for Yourself

Because Videolink stores your video securely, you can reuse it for future applications. This is especially useful for answering common questions like:

  • “Tell me about yourself”
  • “Why do you want this role?”

Pro Tip: Match the Recruiter’s Style

If the recruiter sent you a Request a Video Interview, follow their instructions exactly — but you can still use Videolink to ensure top quality.
