BafGo is an async video interview platform that lets you create structured question sets and share a single link for candidates to record answers on their own time — no scheduling, no accounts, and no app downloads required.
What is BafGo?
BafGo is a web-based async hiring tool that turns typed questions into shareable interview links. Candidates open the link in any browser on any device (phone, laptop, tablet), read each question, and record a timed video response — no login or app install needed. The service was built by Ben, a solo founder, to eliminate scheduling overhead for small teams who hire occasionally. Responses auto‑delete 30 days after you close a set, and no AI training or third‑party analytics are applied to candidate data.
Key Features
- No‑account setup — Create a question set and get a shareable link without signing up; candidates record without any account or login.
- Per‑question time limits — Set maximum response durations (e.g. 2 minutes per answer) and control retake rules so every candidate gets identical conditions.
- Browser‑based recording — Works on any device with a camera and browser; no app download or IT involvement needed.
- Team review with notes — Watch responses at your own pace, leave timestamped notes (private or shared), and compare candidates side by side.
- Auto‑delete privacy — Video responses are automatically removed 30 days after closing a set; you can also delete manually at any time.
- Calendar deep‑links — Once you identify a strong candidate, send a meeting invite directly from BafGo (no .ics file management).
- Free tier with no credit card — Up to 3 questions per set, 2‑minute response limit, team review, and custom domain included at $0.
Who is it for?
- Hiring managers in small businesses — When you’re the hiring manager and also handling payroll and operations, BafGo removes the scheduling ping‑pong of phone screens. Send one link, review responses when you actually have a moment.
- Solo founders and early‑stage startups — No dedicated recruiter means every interview hour is precious. Use BafGo to pre‑filter candidates with identical questions before scheduling any live call.
- Remote teams hiring across time zones — Candidates answer on their own schedule; the whole team reviews asynchronously and leaves notes without worrying about timezone math.
What can you do with BafGo?
- Early‑stage candidate screening — Share a single link on job boards or via email; collect 3‑minute video answers from every applicant before deciding who gets a live interview.
- Structured phone screen replacement — Instead of a 20‑minute call that one person summarises, have every candidate answer the same three questions under the same time limit. The entire team can then review and annotate responses.
- Team‑wide interview calibration — Before the final round, invite reviewers via token link to watch candidate videos and leave timestamped notes, ensuring everyone sees the same performance rather than relying on memory from a phone call.
How does BafGo work?
- Write your questions — Type the questions you want every candidate to answer. Set per‑question time limits and retake rules. You can pull from a library or let AI suggest prompts.
- Share one link — Send the link by email, text, or job board. No candidate account, app install, or login required.
- Candidates record — They open the link, read the question, think, then record. Most finish in under 20 minutes. No scheduling, no waiting rooms.
- Review as a team — Watch responses at your own pace, leave timestamped notes, and invite other reviewers with a token link. Only the strongest candidates move to a live interview.
