Time to let yourself shine! Before you hit that record button, watch this video! 👇
When you’ve passed the initial interview, you will move forward to the Go2 talent pool. In this stage, we will ask you to record an Intro video. This is your chance to make a strong impression, increasing your chances of moving forward.
Note: We may reach out to you to redo your video if needed.
The Matching Team will guide you on what to highlight in your videos. You can check out these sample videos for reference:
A. Check Your Setup
Watch this video as you go through the written instructions. 👇
You may download Loom’s Desktop App or the Chrome Extension, then select the “Camera Only” option. If you’re using another app, ensure the video is viewable and downloadable.
Other tips and reminders:
Video Format: Record in full-screen (camera only) and landscape mode.
Clear & Steady Visuals: Use a laptop camera, webcam, or smartphone and ensure steady footage.
High-Quality Sound: Use a headset or microphone, preferably with noise cancellation. You may use Krisp to minimize background noise.
Work-Conducive Environment: Record in a tidy and quiet space with good lighting and a neutral background.
Camera Positioning: Step back so your upper body is visible and position the camera at eye level.
B. Write Your Cue Cards
Use cue cards to outline key points for your video, then elaborate in your own words to create a more natural delivery.
Let's break your intro video into three parts:
1. Intro
Introduce yourself with your preferred name and mention your current role/profession, and years of experience. Clearly state the purpose of your video and express your genuine interest in working with the potential Partner.
2. Content
Start strong by highlighting your current role, years of experience, and a brief description of your responsibilities. Discuss all of your roles, experiences, and expertise handled to provide a comprehensive view of your background. Showcase your top 2-3 skills most relevant to your target roles, providing concrete examples of how you've applied them to achieve results and emphasizing transferable skills like communication, problem-solving, and leadership.
Pro Tip: If you lack direct, relevant experience, highlight how your existing skills and past experiences are transferable and will contribute to your success in this new role.
3. Outro
Lastly, add a personal touch to your intro video by sharing something about yourself! What are your likes? What are you currently into?
Pro Tip: Keep it fun, but neutral. Avoid topics like politics, religion, etc. Don’t go overboard with your personal stuff.
C. Record Your Video
IMPORTANT! Keep your video to a maximum of 2 minutes to maintain view engagement.

Get ready to showcase your personality on camera! Here are some tips for your video:
No need for a suit; just dress appropriately for work.
Look directly at the camera as if you’re talking to the partners, and avoid reading from a script.
Feel free to record a few takes until you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Be yourself and speak naturally.
Pro Tip: Relax and just have fun! 😄
