Why it works

Who is an intro video for a job application for?

Anyone who wants a recruiter to remember them after a long day of reading CVs.

  1. Career changers

    Show how your past experience leads straight to the new role.

  2. Graduates

    Stand out when your CV is still short and every applicant looks the same on paper.

  3. Competitive roles

    Give the hiring manager a reason to open your application first.

  4. Applying abroad

    Make the job application video in the company's language, from 23 to choose from.

  5. Reaching out directly

    A short video in a message to a hiring manager is harder to ignore than another email.

  6. Helping someone you love

    Make one for a partner, friend or grown-up child who is job hunting.

FAQ

Job application video questions

It is a short video that introduces you to a company and shows why you fit a specific role. yume makes it as a hand-drawn animated film from your LinkedIn profile, the job posting, the company's website and a few photos, so you do not have to film or edit anything.

A narrator opens with the one thing in your story that matters most for this job. We see you at your real workplaces doing the work that proves it, then at the company, already doing the role. It ends on “[Company], meet [your name].” with the company's logo, your name and the role.

It can be used like one. Instead of reading a letter, the recruiter watches a job application video of about a minute that connects your experience to their job, with you drawn as the main character.

It gives the recruiter something a CV cannot: a clear story about you in about a minute, ending on what you could do for them. Making a video for a job application yourself usually means filming, scripting and editing. With yume you share your profile and the job, and the video is made for you.

Your reasons are what make the film yours. A few honest sentences are enough: what brought you to this role and what excites you about the company. We never invent a reason you didn't give.

Yes. We turn your photos into a hand-drawn character who keeps your likeness and plays the lead. The company's scenes follow its own colours and shapes, taken from its website, and the ending uses its real logo.

A professional narrator introduces you, like the narrator of a short film about you. You choose Morgan, Sarah, Daniel or Fernanda and can listen to each first. It is not your voice or a copy of it, and nobody speaks on screen.

It is the easiest way to start. If your profile cannot be read, you can type the essential details yourself instead.

Paste the link as it is, and we read the posting for you. If a page can't be read, you paste the job description instead. The video is always made for one specific role, never a general one.

No. The story comes only from your real experience, your own answers, the job and the company's website. It tells your strongest true case: we never invent achievements, employers or numbers, and what you could bring to the role is told as a plan.

23 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Names and company names stay as they are, and you can tell us how to say your name.

Yes. Use their LinkedIn profile and photos, add the job they are applying for, and write down their reasons for wanting it in their words. We send the video to you so you can pass it on.

Yes, one free edit is included. You keep the same person, the same role and the same company. From your video page you can change the facts, the photos or the narrator.
