FAQ 

It’s exactly that — but better! Imagine stepping into an elevator with the Head of HR from your dream company. They ask: “Who are you, and what are you looking for right now?” With 2 Minutes Max, you’re alone in the elevator. No one is listening. You can record as many takes as you need until you choose the version you like best. Creating a 2’MAX means giving yourself the chance to be in that elevator with many different recruiters — to show who you truly are, without compromising your confidentiality and without the stress of an unprepared first contact.

It’s very different. A 2’MAX is recorded directly on the platform, ensuring the same format for everyone — compressed, unedited, and limited to 2 minutes. A 2’MAX is not public: it can only be viewed by recruiters subscribed to the platform and it cannot be downloaded. Success doesn’t depend on being a great performer on camera, but on the alignment between what you say and what the recruiter is looking for — for all types of jobs, creative or not. And it doesn’t recap your entire background: the résumé is the past; the 2’MAX is the present and the future.

A 2’MAX does not replace a CV — it complements it:

The CV describes your background and your past.

The 2’MAX focuses on the present and the future. It reveals your personality, motivation, and energy.

For a candidate, it effectively replaces the cover letter, which many recruiters no longer read.
A CV, a 2’MAX, and a few lines in an email — that’s perfect!

And for companies, it often replaces the pre-qualification call or the first video interviews.

That’s normal — and expected. No studio, no public posting: you simply record yourself from your computer or phone, just like a video call. And you decide who gets access to your secure link, without putting yourself on display.

All the recruiter needs is to click your 2’MAX link. You can send it by email, paste it into an application form, or generate a motivation PDF that replaces the traditional cover letter. You can also add your unique QR code to your résumé. Just make sure to include your viewing key so your recipient can open it if they’re not a 2 Minutes Max subscriber.

Yes, creating your 2’MAX is free with no commitment. A Premium version is available if you want to go further (view tracking, multiple video profiles, etc.), but it’s optional. The platform is primarily funded by company subscriptions and by employment and training organizations.

You’ll need a bit of preparation, yes. But once your video is done, you can share it with all recruiters. No more writing a different cover letter for every application.

Yes — a significant one. Watching a 2’MAX happens after the CV screening stage, replacing phone calls or pre-qualification video interviews. You discover candidates whenever it suits you, in just a few minutes, with no meetings to schedule. Our clients report up to a 50% reduction in Time to Hire, while meeting twice as many candidates.

Good news: you don’t need to change anything. If your pre-qualification calls or video interviews take too long, 2 Minutes Max fits naturally between the CV and the interview. You keep screening CVs as usual (manually or via your ATS / AI), then invite promising profiles to record their 2’MAX. The process stays the same — but faster and more human.

You don’t watch them all. You first filter the CVs like you normally do, then invite the 30 to 50 most promising candidates to record their 2’MAX. In 1 hour and 30 minutes, you can discover 25 people instead of calling 10 — and you really see who they are, without CV-related bias.

Because a poorly targeted video call wastes everyone’s time. The 2’MAX is an asynchronous pre-interview: the candidate speaks when they’re ready, and you watch when you are. Result: fewer unnecessary meetings and richer, more focused final interviews.

2 Minutes Max is built on human authenticity. Every video is recorded by the candidate themselves — no AI, no editing. You hear their real voice, see their natural gestures, and feel their sincerity. It’s the most reliable way to avoid artificial or AI-generated profiles.

By forcing you to listen before judging. When you click a 2’MAX link, you see a person speaking — not a photo or a CV. The format puts all candidates on equal footing, regardless of their background, age, or origin.

Yes! Because the format is short, confidential, and empowering. Candidates know they are judged on what they say and their motivation — not on appearances. More than 80% of invited candidates complete their video.

Yes. Recruiters can pitch their job offer on video and attach the detailed job description. It’s a dynamic format that attracts more relevant applications and improves the candidate experience.
