Press Play to Hire - AI Video Interviews Are Changing Recruitment

Why Smart Recruiters in the GCC Are Letting Algorithms Take the First Interview

If you’re in recruitment, you know the pain of screening stacks of CVs, scheduling endless first-round interviews, and asking the same five questions on repeat—“Tell me about yourself…”, again and again, like a broken record. It’s exhausting, inefficient, and frankly, beneath the strategic role recruiters are meant to play.

Enter AI. Specifically, recorded video interviews powered by AI-driven analysis. This isn’t just the future of recruitment—it’s the now. And HR professionals in the GCC are starting to realize that the smartest hire they’ll ever make… might be a machine.

How does it Work: Video Interviews, Supercharged

Imagine this: you post a job, and instead of juggling calendars to squeeze in 30 first-round interviews, you let candidates record responses to your key questions via an AI-enabled platform. The software analyzes not just their words, but their tone, pace, confidence, and even body language. It flags standout candidates and highlights red flags—before you’ve spent a single hour in a Zoom call.

You get structured, consistent evaluations across all candidates, with zero bias from interviewer fatigue or inconsistent questioning. And instead of wasting days on early-stage interviews that go nowhere, your time is spent where it truly matters—digging deep with the top 5 who already impressed the algorithm.

In a region like the GCC, where time zones, travel logistics, and multilingual candidate pools can add complexity, AI-powered video interviews level the playing field and speed up hiring without sacrificing quality.

The result?

Faster shortlists

Fairer evaluations

Focused decision-making

And—best of all—your recruiters get their time (and sanity) back.
