Real people, real stories.
Let your colleagues tell candidates what it's really like.
Candidates don't believe vacancy texts. They believe the people they'd work with. Short, honest videos where each colleague inspires the next, subtitled, branded and approved by you.

Why video strings
Hiring got faster and shinier. Sadly, not more believable.
Candidates have learned to skip whatever looks produced or generated. What they still believe is someone they'd actually work with.
- The engineer who explains why he stayed.
- The planner who shows off his team.
- The sales junkie who can't stop selling.
- An agency-shot culture filmA colleague on their own phoneA glossy film looks like marketing, because it is.
- Generated texts and AI avatarsA real face with a real answerAI all sounds the same. A real person doesn't and is authentic.
- One shoot, dated by next yearA library that keeps growing automaticallyEvery colleague who joins adds a video by themselves.
Real doesn't mean amateur.
Every approved video automatically gets your logo and colours, a name tag with the colleague's name and role, and subtitles. Recorded on a phone, finished in your house style.
How a video string works
Every video makes the next one easier.
Most colleague video projects stall before anyone edits anything: recording feels scary, and nobody knows what to say. A video string is built around that. Someone they know goes first, everyone sees the videos before theirs, and each colleague answers one short question in about 30 seconds.

Possible questions
Opening video
You set the example
Pick a few light questions (or let AI suggest some) and choose who's in. Then record the opening video yourself, or hand your phone to a manager. Nobody is invited before there's a video to follow.
Short and to the point
Each colleague watches the videos before theirs, picks a question and answers it in about 30 seconds, on their own phone or laptop. They can start over as often as they like, and nobody sees it until it's approved. No app, no account, no film crew.
Branded and approved
Your logo and colours, a name tag with their name and role, and subtitles go on by themselves. You don't edit anything: check the subtitles and approve. Not right yet? Send it back with a short note for a new take.
What candidates see
Approved? Then candidates meet your team where they're already looking.
Every approved video joins your library, tagged with the colleague's team and location. Put the right people in the right spot, so a candidate for the warehouse hears from the warehouse.
Real people on your careers site.
Why it works: Candidates visit your careers site to find out if they'd fit in. Colleagues from every team, in their own words, show it better than any mission statement.

Consent built in
Per colleague, valid for 12 months, withdrawable at any moment.
See if it works
The share of invited colleagues who record within 14 days, per location. Counts only, never names.
How much time does it cost my colleagues?
A minute or two each. They open the link, watch your opening video and what colleagues recorded before them, and answer one short question in about 30 seconds. They can start over as often as they like.
How much time does it cost me?
You set it up yourself in a few minutes: pick ready-made questions, add your branding and colleagues, and record a short opening video. After that, a few minutes per video to check the subtitles and approve it. Reminders and follow-ups run by themselves.
What if someone doesn't want to be on camera?
Taking part is always a choice. Declining is invisible to colleagues and stops the reminders. Whoever joins decides where their video may be used and can withdraw it later through their own link.
We tried colleague videos before and nobody recorded. Why would this be different?
Most tools make the editing easier, with scripts, autocue and templates. Editing was never the hard part: people don't record because it feels scary and they don't know what to say. In a video string someone they know goes first, everyone sees the videos before theirs, and they answer one short question in about 30 seconds. Nothing is seen until it's approved. And you see what share of invited colleagues record within 14 days, per location, so you know quickly whether it's working.
What does it cost?
Plans start at €2,999 a year, billed yearly by invoice. Request a quote for the plan you're considering and we'll send you a proposal.
Do we need a video team or an agency?
No. The point is that it isn't produced. A colleague talking honestly into a phone is what candidates believe, and the subtitles and your branding make it look finished.
What devices do colleagues need?
The phone or laptop they already have. They record in the browser, no app or account. A video they recorded earlier can be uploaded too.
How long is each video?
30 seconds on Team, about as long as a voice note. On Business you choose per video string: 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Short enough to stay honest and easy to say yes to, long enough to say something real.
What if a video isn't quite right?
Ask for a new take with a short note, and the colleague gets a link to record again. You can also trim the start and end. We never edit what someone says.
Does AI judge the videos or the people in them?
Never. AI suggests questions and makes the subtitles. It doesn't watch, score or rank anyone, and nothing is published without your approval.
What happens when someone leaves the company?
You take their video offline yourself in one click, and they can withdraw it any time through their own link. It disappears from every page and embed at once. And if nobody does anything, we ask for consent again after 12 months: without an answer within 30 days, the video is deleted.
Can we use it for several teams or locations?
Yes. Every video carries the colleague's team and location, so you can run a video string per team and put the right colleagues in the right spot.
Does it work with our ATS?
Every video has its own share page and embed code, so it works next to any ATS, careers site or job board today. For videos inside the ATS itself, Flipbase already runs in eight ATS platforms and integrates others on request.
Which languages are supported?
Dutch and English. Your dashboard, the emails and the recording page your colleagues see are available in both, and every video string can be set to either. Subtitles are made in the language that's spoken and translated into the other, so a Dutch video can carry English subtitles and the other way round.
Can subtitles be in other languages too?
Yes. Need Polish, German, Arabic or another language? We add it on request, for a small extra fee.
Pricing
Two plans, billed yearly.
Plans differ in how many new video strings you can start, how many colleagues each one holds, how long a video can be, combining videos into a carousel, grid or one file, and how many people work in the dashboard. Billed yearly by invoice.
