How to Hire Student Employees - Free Video Resume App
Hiring students, interns, and part-time workers is hard - you need to see how they communicate before scheduling interviews. CazVid's free video-resume app solves this by letting you post student job openings and watch 30-second intro videos from candidates, all for free.
Why Video Resumes Win for Student Hiring
A one-page resume won't show you how a student presents themselves. Video does in seconds: professionalism, communication skills, energy, reliability. Students understand this - many now prefer video-first hiring because it's fair and fast.
How to Hire Students on CazVid
Step 1: Post a 30-Second Job Listing Video
Instead of a text-only job board post, record a 30-second video explaining:
- The role (part-time, full-time, internship, project-based)
- Key responsibilities and skills needed
- Why your company or team is great to work for
Students see personality behind your hiring - it makes them apply with more confidence.
Step 2: Review Student Video Resumes
As students apply, watch their 30-second intros. You'll instantly assess:
- How they communicate
- Whether they sound enthusiastic about your role
- If they fit your team culture
- Professionalism and presentation skills
