From Frustrated to Fired Up: How One Team Transformed Their Hiring in Just One Week

Why one-way video interviews are a game changer for street-level and event recruitment

Hiring for street and event roles, think fundraising staff, street sales teams, promoters, volunteers, is intense. It’s fast-paced, high-volume, and relies heavily on finding people with energy, presence, and commitment.

But for one recruiting team in Spain, things had gotten rough.

“Lately, it’s been really hard. We were frustrated. People wouldn't show up, or they’d stop replying. It was draining.”

That’s how they described their situation before discovering one-way video interviews.

One Week. Huge Change.

They started using Hireflix to send video interview links to candidates instead of scheduling phone calls or meetings right away. No long back-and-forth. Just a link. Candidates could record their answers when it suited them.

And suddenly… everything changed.

“We already received several video interviews and we’re really happy. Yesterday we invited a few for in-person interviews and we noticed a HUGE difference…”

“Everyone actually showed up, which for us is already a big win! And on top of that, people came informed, knew what the role was, had researched the company… Their attitude was completely different.”

What used to feel like pulling teeth became smooth, structured, and motivating, for both the recruiters and the candidates.

“This doesn’t just make life easier, it gives us motivation to keep recruiting.”

Why This Works So Well for Street & Event Roles

When you’re hiring for roles where communication skills and presence matter, seeing a person on video is pure gold.

You get to instantly assess:

✔️ How they present themselves
✔️ Their energy and personality
✔️ Their understanding of the role

And on the candidate side, flexibility matters. They can answer the interview at 10 PM after their shift, or in the morning with fresh coffee, no pressure, no rush.

The result?

Higher engagement. Fewer no-shows. Less wasted time.

“At least now, we’re not wasting our time.”

The Bottom Line

This team went from daily frustration and ghosted interviews to confident, motivated candidates showing up and getting hired, all in under a week.

If you’re hiring for public-facing, fast-moving roles and you’re stuck in the same cycle of frustration… Hireflix might just be the tool that turns it all around.
