Video interviews that don't need a calendar.
Record your questions once, share one link, and candidates answer on their own time from any device. No candidate login, no scheduling ping-pong, no monthly fees. Just faster, fairer hiring.
Scheduling eats the weeks before you hear a single candidate speak.
Small teams don't have recruiters. When you're the hiring manager and also doing three other jobs, "let's find a time" becomes the hardest part of hiring.
The scheduling trap
You email three candidates. Two reply with times that don't work. The third doesn't reply at all. A week vanishes and you haven't spoken to anyone.
Unstructured comparison
Without the same questions for everyone, you compare gut feelings instead of answers. A candidate who interviews you on a good day gets a completely different shot.
Solo decision-making
One person does the phone screen and summarizes it over Slack. Details get lost. The rest of the team never sees the candidate until the final round.
Enterprise tools, small-team budget
Most hiring platforms are built for HR departments with dedicated recruiters and multi-stage workflows. You don't have any of that. You need something that works the way you do.
From questions to candidates in four steps.
No training required. No IT involvement. If you can type a question and share a link, you're ready.
Write your questions
Type the questions you want every candidate to answer. Set time limits and retake rules. Pull from your library or let AI suggest prompts. Every candidate gets identical conditions.
Share one link
That's it. Send the link by email, text, or job board. No candidate account, no app install, no login. They open it in any browser on any device.
Candidates record
They read the question, think for a moment, then record. Most finish in under 20 minutes. No scheduling, no waiting rooms, no timezone math.
Review as a team
Watch responses at your own pace. Leave timestamped notes. Invite reviewers with a token link. Only the strongest candidates get a live interview.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Purpose-built for small teams that hire occasionally. No enterprise bloat, no feature checklist padding.
No account required
Not for you, not for candidates. Create a set, share the link, and start collecting responses. Zero friction, zero barriers.
Structured questions
Per-question time limits, retake controls, reusable library. Every candidate answers the same questions under identical conditions.
Browser-based recording
No app install, no IT approval. Candidates record in any browser on any device with a camera. If they can open a link, they can interview.
Team review & notes
Timestamped notes: private to you or shared with reviewers. Compare candidates side by side instead of relying on memory from a phone call.
Meet invites
Once you've identified a strong fit, send a calendar deep-link directly from BafGo. In-person or live room — no .ics files to manage.
Privacy by default
Responses auto-delete 30 days after you close a set. No AI training on candidate data. No third-party analytics. No data sold.
Built different, on purpose.
Most hiring tools optimize for enterprise HR. We optimize for the team where the hiring manager is also doing payroll, operations, and three other jobs.

The same questions. The same conditions. Fair comparison.
You can learn more about a candidate from a three-minute video than you'd get from an entire phone screen. And you can watch it whenever you actually have a moment.
When your process has no structure, your mood becomes part of the decision. A candidate who interviews on a good day gets a completely different shot than one who catches you on a rough one.
From the founder
Most hiring tools force a scheduling loop: propose times, wait, reschedule no-shows. All before you've heard anyone speak. That's backwards. You should hear candidates first, then decide whose calendar is worth opening.
We're not trying to replace live interviews. We're replacing the scheduling busywork that eats the weeks before them. Ben, founder and developer. Building BafGo because I'd rather make useful things than chase funding rounds.
Transparent pricing
Public pricing, no hidden tiers, no "talk to sales." You know what things cost before you sign up.

You ask, we answer.
What is an async video interview?
An async (asynchronous) video interview lets candidates record answers to your questions on their own time — no live call needed. You send a link with your questions; they record when it suits them; you watch and review on your schedule.
Does the candidate need to create an account or download anything?
No. Candidates open a link in their browser and record directly. No app download, no account, no friction. It works on any device with a camera — phone, laptop, or tablet.
How much does BafGo cost?
Creating question sets and collecting responses is free — no account required, no credit card. For teams hiring regularly, paid plans start at $3 per response with no annual commitment, or $499/year with custom domain and priority support. See full pricing →
How is BafGo different from scheduling a Zoom call?
Phone screens and Zoom calls require calendar coordination and give you one person's impression in the moment. BafGo lets every candidate answer the same structured questions under identical conditions. Your whole team reviews asynchronously, and only the strongest candidates move to a live conversation.
Do I need to create an account to use BafGo?
No. You can create a question set and get a shareable link without any account. Candidates also need no account. They just open the link and record. Everything works from a browser.
What happens to candidate videos after I'm done?
Responses auto-delete 30 days after you close a set. No permanent archive, no AI training on candidate data, no third-party analytics. You can also manually delete responses at any time.
Is BafGo right for a small business that doesn't hire often?
Yes — it's built for exactly that. No monthly fees or seat licenses. You set up when a role opens, pay nothing between hiring cycles, and only pay for the responses you actually collect.
