Our mission: guaranteeing the human touch in the age of AI.
2 Minutes Max, the benchmark format for an authentic video application.
A trusted third party in a world transformed by AI.
Optimized CVs, cover letters generated in seconds, retouched videos: AI is making applications ever smoother, and it is becoming hard to tell what is still real. The 2’MAX guarantees the opposite: a real person, speaking in their own words.
Recorded directly on the platform, with no uploads, no editing, no filters and no AI, every 2’MAX is authentic by design. That is our role: to be the trusted third party between the person introducing themselves and the person discovering them.
Betting on people, without giving up on AI.
We use AI where it truly adds value: to optimize our tools and speed up connections between candidates, recruiters and employment support professionals. But never at the heart of 2 Minutes Max. Recording a 2’MAX remains 100% human: one person, their voice, their words.
Secure, on both sides of the screen.
Candidates: you stay in control.
- You choose who sees your 2’MAX.
- Cannot be downloaded, never published publicly or indexed.
- Encrypted and hosted in France.
- Can be edited or deactivated at any time, even after you have sent it.
Professionals: you see a real person.
- Recorded on the platform, no uploads possible.
- No editing, no filters, no AI.
- Access restricted to verified professional accounts.
- Always the latest version, at the same link.
Video in French. Security and confidentiality: all the details
Our story.
2 Minutes Max was born in Lyon, from the experience of a father and a daughter who became business partners. Juliette, 19, an HR student, is looking for her first internship. She sends a video of under 2 minutes to a few companies, without exposing herself online: internship found within a few days.
Her father Nicolas, a management consultant, is talking at the time with companies that want to recruit in a more human way as AI takes off. He sees it as the future of shortlisting. Juliette’s classmates become the first testers, and the company that hired her, one of the first clients.
Since then, thousands of users in France and across Europe: candidates, companies, schools, employment support organizations, juries and job dating organizers.
