SoundByte

Video-first hiring

Recruitment Reimagined

Resumes tell you where someone worked. A 90-second SoundByte tells you who they are. Candidates pitch in their own words, and the platform ranks every applicant against your criteria.

Hiring is about people, and we keep it that way

No AI video interviews. Candidates never talk to a bot. AI helps with the vetting, people do the interviewing, and you make every hiring decision.

Three fists stacked together

Built for people on both sides of the hire

Fewer good people lost to filters

Keyword filters screen out qualified candidates for the wrong reasons. SoundByte looks at the whole application

Scores you can explain

Founder, SoundByte

Hi, I'm Liz

I built SoundByte after seeing what broken hiring costs people. In conversations with recruiters, hiring managers and candidates, the same story kept coming up: good people filtered out by keyword systems, and employers buried in applications.

SoundByte front loads candidate vetting at the very beginning, with analytics that takes out the guesswork, and a SoundByte of candidates so you can fast track your next great hire.

For small and mid-sized employers in Canada and the United States.

From $275 USD / month
