Personalized video outreach for recruiters who are done with InMail
Passive candidates ignore generic InMails. Your AI clone reaches them with 45-second personalized videos that reference their actual background, career trajectory, and why this specific role fits. Agency recruiters, in-house TA, and executive search firms use Outvid to fill roles faster.
Which kind of recruiting team are you?
Three distinct deployment shapes — same Outvid mechanic, different usage patterns.
Agency recruiters
You run a staffing desk with contract or perm reqs flowing daily. Your edge is speed and differentiation — both candidate outreach and client BD need to stand out against firms using identical InMail templates.
How agencies use OutvidIn-house TA teams
You're scaling hiring across engineering, GTM, and leadership simultaneously. Personalized outreach breaks down at 20+ reqs per recruiter. You need one AI clone per recruiter to keep brand voice consistent across every candidate touch.
How in-house teams use OutvidExecutive search
You work small, high-value searches where passive VP- and C-level candidates routinely ignore text outreach entirely. A personalized 45-second video is often the only format that earns a response from senior talent.
Exec search playbookWhy text recruiting outreach stopped working
The format is the problem, not the template. Every recruiter tuning subject lines is optimizing a saturated channel.
InMail has saturated
Top candidates receive 10-20 recruiter messages a week that all start the same way. Even genuinely good opportunities get deleted on sight because the medium is exhausted, not the offer.
Text can't prove effort
A candidate can't tell whether you spent 2 seconds or 20 minutes writing their message. Video solves this instantly — they can see you took the time to reach out personally, which is what passive talent responds to.
Manual video doesn't scale
Recording a personalized video for every candidate would take the entire week. Most recruiters try it, give up after 10-15 videos, and fall back to InMail templates. Outvid is the first format that keeps video depth at InMail volume.
How Outvid fits into your recruiting workflow
Five steps from sourcing list to warm candidate conversation. Works across any ATS and any channel.
Record your AI clone
2-minute source recording in your own voice and face. Your AI clone carries your energy and delivery into every candidate message at scale.
Research each candidate
Outvid pulls each candidate's role, tenure, career trajectory, and recent activity — the data that makes a personalized script actually feel personalized.
AI writes the script
Role-specific scripts that reference the candidate's background, explain why this opportunity fits their trajectory, and close with a low-friction ask for a quick conversation.
Send via any channel
Personalized video links embed into email, LinkedIn InMail, WhatsApp, or any messaging channel. CSV export drops cleanly into Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, or any ATS workflow.
Track engagement, prioritize warmest
See who watched, rewatched, and clicked through. Hand the warmest candidates to your recruiter (or yourself) first — before they reply to a competing firm's outreach.
“Passive candidates ignore InMails. But when they get a 45-second video, they watch it, and they reply. We've placed 35 candidates directly from Outvid outreach.”
Real recruiter scripts — by persona
Four example hooks across common recruiting scenarios. Swap the variables with your ATS or sourcing data and ship.
“Hey {{first_name}} — saw you've been leading backend infrastructure at {{company}} for about three years. I've got a Series B fintech client specifically looking for your distributed-systems depth, and the culture there is unusually close to what you've described liking. Recorded you 45 seconds on why I think it's worth 15 minutes of your time.”
“{{first_name}}, I'm the head of talent at {{our_company}} and I've been sourcing for our {{role}} opening. Your work on {{specific_project}} is exactly the profile we're building around, and our engineering lead wanted me to reach out personally. 30 seconds on the team and the role.”
“{{first_name}}, I know VP-level inboxes are brutal, so I'll be direct: my client is replacing their Head of Product after a pivot to enterprise, and your background taking {{former_company}} from {{stage_a}} to {{stage_b}} is the closest match we've found on paper. Let me explain the role in 30 seconds — if it's not interesting, no follow-up.”
“{{first_name}} — I know we talked in {{previous_month}} about the {{previous_role}} role that went to someone else. Something changed this week: {{specific_change}}. Felt worth recording you 30 seconds rather than sending another generic "checking in" email.”

Honest answers to the questions recruiting teams ask before piloting video outreach.
How is this different from Loom, Vidyard, or Sendspark for recruiting?
Those tools require you to record a new video for every candidate manually. Recruiters who try them typically give up after 10-15 bespoke videos because the time cost doesn't match the reply-rate uplift at scale. Outvid creates an AI clone once and generates personalized videos for your full sourcing list — candidate names spoken, backgrounds referenced, role positioning tailored. You get bespoke-video depth at InMail-blast volume.
Do passive candidates find AI-generated videos off-putting?
The opposite, consistently. When a candidate sees a video referencing their actual career background, hears the recruiter's real voice, and feels specifically addressed, the reaction is positive surprise — not skepticism. Outvid is transparent about the clone source: candidates are never misled about how the video was produced.
How does this work with our ATS?
Outvid exports personalized video links via CSV that import cleanly into Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, and any ATS that accepts file uploads. No mandatory native integration — the CSV workflow works with every ATS on the market. For candidate CRM use cases, HubSpot and Salesforce have native OAuth sync.
Is it compliant with GDPR for EU candidates?
Video outreach operates through your standard email and messaging channels, so the same lawful-basis obligations that apply to your current recruiter outreach apply here. For EU candidate sourcing, ensure documented lawful basis (typically legitimate interest for B2B recruiting) before campaigns launch. Outvid stores only the data you provide — nothing is sent to candidates' employers unless you explicitly target a work email.
Does it work for sourcers separately from full-cycle recruiters?
Yes. Sourcers use Outvid to replace cold InMail with personalized video and hand warmer, video-engaged candidates to recruiters. Recruiters use it for full-cycle engagement — initial outreach, re-engagement of silver-medal candidates, and offer-stage follow-up. See the sourcer-specific page for the sourcer workflow.
How quickly can I get my first campaign out?
Recording your clone takes 2 minutes. Once the clone is built (typically within a few hours), you can upload a candidate list and ship your first personalized video campaign the same day. Most pilots see their first candidate responses within 48 hours of launch.
What's the pricing difference between recruiting and sales use cases?
No difference. Outvid pricing is the same regardless of whether you use it for SDR outreach or recruiter outreach — same product, same tiers, same monthly video quotas. Pick the tier that matches your volume, not your use case.
Can I start with a pilot before committing to a longer contract?
Yes — most recruiting customers run a 30-day pilot on one open req before rolling Outvid across their desk or TA team. It's the right way to validate the reply-rate lift on your own candidate profile before scaling the motion.
