Async interview workflow vs live-first workflow

See where teams save time before a single calendar invite goes out.

Traditional Hiring

Live meetings for each candidate

  • Schedule every interview live
  • Spend time on scheduling loops
  • Delay decisions while calendars align
  • Invest hours before clear signal

Async Hiring

Review on your schedule

  • Compare candidates side by side
  • Review when it works for you
  • Eliminate back-and-forth scheduling
  • Prioritize top candidates

The problem

You're spending 45 minutes per candidate before you know if there's a fit.

Phone screens happen before you have any real signal — which means most of them end early, awkwardly. Async screening inverts that: watch, decide, then invite.

The standard

Every candidate gets the same questions, the same way, on their own time.

No interviewer variance. No “I liked their energy” when the actual answer was thin. Structured questions produce comparable signal — which makes shortlisting faster and easier to defend.

The team

Your hiring manager, skip-level, or committee weighs in without scheduling a thing.

Reviewers get a link. They watch on their schedule, leave private notes, and align before any calendar invite goes out. One shared decision — no meeting to coordinate it.

BafGo interview set builder

Private. Secure. Yours.  Video responses auto-delete after 30 days. No archive. No AI training. No data sold. No third-party analytics.

Choose The Right Fit

Enterprise tools are built for enterprise workflows. SMB teams need something different.

Both models are valid. The best choice depends on your hiring volume, team size, and how much process overhead you can carry.

Enterprise-focused platforms

Great for high-volume recruiting organizations with dedicated ops resources.

  • Complex multi-stage workflows and approvals
  • Larger recruiting teams and specialist roles
  • Heavy ATS process depth and customization
  • Higher implementation and admin overhead

BafGo for SMB teams

Built for owners and lean managers who need structured screening without enterprise complexity.

  • Fast setup and one-link candidate flow
  • Consistent first-round screening for small teams
  • No scheduling loops before initial signal
  • Clear pricing and low operational drag

01
Structure Write your question set once. Set time limits. Every candidate answers the same way — nothing improvised, nothing missed.
02
Evaluate Candidates record on their own time. Your team watches, leaves private notes, and compares responses — no one synced to a calendar.
03
Decide You already know who’s worth a live conversation. Extend the invite with context — not a cold calendar link sent to twelve people.

“We were running 8–10 screening calls a week. Most of them we knew by minute five weren’t going anywhere. BafGo gave us a way to get that signal in three minutes — before we blocked anyone’s calendar.”

Pricing

$99 annual + $1 per candidate response.

Businesses do not hire the same way every month, so we do not think you should pay the same every month.

For IT & Compliance Teams

Built to pass an IT review — not just a sales pitch.

We document what we actually do — including what's still in progress. The technical overview covers our stack, authentication model, video storage lifecycle, and every third-party service that touches your data.

Read the technical overview →
Video stored in a self-hosted MinIO bucket — not a third-party CDN or cloud storage service.
All video access is gated behind short-lived pre-signed URLs. The bucket is not public.
Account passwords hashed with bcrypt. Sessions use HttpOnly JWT cookies — not accessible to JavaScript.
No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.). Funnel data stays in our own database.
Candidate video responses are not processed by any AI or LLM.
HSTS, X-Frame-Options: DENY, CSP, and nosniff headers set in production.

We're early-stage — no SOC 2 certification or formal penetration test yet. We say that plainly rather than hiding it. SOC 2 Type I is on our roadmap for 2026. Full technical detail here.

No AI scoring. No summaries.

Your judgment.
Not an algorithm's.

Every response is preserved exactly as recorded — unfiltered and unscored. Your read on a person is based on what they actually said. The hiring decision is still yours to make.
