Openhire lets teams give candidates short, role-specific video tryouts, then review their work with faces blurred.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-19 issue.

For: Teams hiring for demonstrable, task-based roles
Worth noticing: Candidates remain audible, and reviewers can still see screen activity and written work; the site describes faces as blurred.

Field notes

Teams choose or edit a template, set time limits, and send candidates a link; the page says candidates can record without installing anything or creating an account. Its calculator starts with 40 applicants, 30-minute phone screens, and five-minute tryout reviews, estimating 16.7 hours saved. The FAQ specifies that candidates remain audible and their screen and writing stay visible, while the site says videos are deleted after 30 days.
