Key Takeaways from the Interview
"The most winning feature of CazVid is that resumes are short video clips - it gets you closer to the candidate."
"It's very easy to log in and manage candidates."
"With CazVid there's direct contact with employees through chat, so I can message candidates instantly."
"Registration is simple and fast - no corporate documentation required like other platforms."
How Natalia Uses CazVid
Natalia's company, Contratamos Complementos, recruits operational, administrative, and accounting staff for other businesses. Before CazVid, she relied on Computrabajo, LinkedIn, and government employment services - platforms that were costly, slow, or required intermediaries.
The CazVid difference:
- She posts a job video (30 seconds describing the role and team)
- Browses candidate video resumes instantly
- Messages promising candidates directly
- Collects phone numbers and formal resumes
- Moves promising candidates to interviews
- Hires and onboards
Result: Faster hiring cycle, direct contact with candidates, no waiting for platforms to relay messages.
Why Video Resumes Beat Traditional Resumes
Natalia successfully hired an administrative assistant for a hotel through CazVid. Here's what made it work:
- Personality shines through - She could see communication skills, professionalism, and cultural fit on video
- Faster decisions - No need to read paragraphs; she knew instantly who to contact
- Direct communication - Instead of using platform messaging systems (like Computrabajo), she got phone numbers and had real conversations
- Smaller gap between recruiter and candidate - Video creates connection that written resumes can't match
- Easier candidate review - Watching videos is faster than reading resumes
The Real Impact
What previously took weeks on other platforms took days on CazVid. Candidates responded faster when contacted directly. The quality of initial conversations improved because Natalia had already assessed communication skills on video.
Natalia's Recommendations for CazVid Users
"Get to know the platform - it's user-friendly, has candidates from everywhere with every profile type, and the experience is straightforward."
For employers hesitant about new platforms, her advice is simple: try it. CazVid's barrier to entry is low (no complex corporate documentation), the candidate pool is diverse, and direct messaging cuts out bureaucracy.
She also notes that CazVid's notification system helps her respond faster to candidate messages, keeping her candidates engaged and reducing time-to-hire.
What Natalia Wants to See Next
One feature request: more detail on candidate profiles about work experience beyond the 30-second video. While video is powerful, some roles benefit from a brief written summary of previous positions - not to replace video, but to complement it.
Why This Matters for Your Hiring
Traditional job boards optimize for job posting volume, not hiring speed or quality. CazVid flips this: you see personality first, communicate directly, and hire faster because both sides are genuinely engaged from the start.
For staffing firms like Contratamos Complementos that hire constantly, this efficiency is game-changing. Every day saved in recruitment is a client served faster and a reputation for speed.
