Neat idea! Is there any worry about making it easier to discriminate against candidates?

@sam_sles Hi Sam. I just replied to @matt_dailey above "From Day 1 we built Heroes with one objective: to give voice to talents. The applicants that apply with Heroes manage to stand-out thanks to their personality in their video pitch, which is almost impossible to do an a resume/cover letter. We want to fight against any barriers or bias they might encounter when sending a cover letter/resume with just a name written on a piece of paper... even if the name is not written as you mentioned, at some point the face to face interview will happen and an employer willing to discriminate still has the power to do so. On the other side, we are very optimistic as we have seen more and more companies wishing to diversify their teams, and Heroes is actually helping them is this way = win-win for talents and recruiters"

@matt_dailey @tristanpetitw thanks for the thoughtful response. I still think it's easier to gloss over a candidates qualifications in a video vs. a resume, but you're right that an employer with biases could act on them later in the interview process. Anyway, good luck!

@sam_sles Just wanted to clarify: most of the times, candidates send us a resume together with the video, this way, employers have the possibility to review the resume before watching the video :)

Can candidates send the same video to all companies?

Hey, @victoria_laubie as talents answer different video-questions for each companies, they cannot send the same application to all -- like they do on other platforms sending the same cover letter or video... Only the most motivated talents apply, keeping the amount of applications at a minimum. That's how our applicant per hire ratio is 2%, which is 10x better than the industry average :)

@yann_petretti Don't worry, when you click on “apply,” nothing will be sent to the employers before your validation. You can re-record your answers as many times as you want. We implemented tips and guidance for candidates along the way so they can have a smooth and stress-free experience ;)

@mcflydev Thanks a lot for the upvote. To answer your doubts, Heroes is actually working since we already had +10k applications in only a few months in Europe. For this reason, we decided to come and launch in the US, starting with the bay area. Our team is everyday on campuses with the students since the start of the fall semester and they already love it for three main reason: 1/They can reach out directly to the best companies, like a first interview but asynchronous 2/They take 10min of selfies per day and are used to this way of communicating 3/They receive an answer within a week, because employers are a lot more responsive to a personalized video. Hope this helps and happy to answer other question you might have.
