FAQ
Quick answers
Must candidates record a video?
Where you set a video prompt, yes. They can record in the browser or upload a clip.

Is there a free plan?
Yes. Starter is free and includes jobs with a video question, applicant video portfolios, shortlisting, the applicant dossier with ratings, and PDF or CSV export. Plans differ in how many jobs, challenges and shortlist places you can keep active.

Once you shortlist someone you can message them inside Donjo.
Are candidates told about my decision?
