Embed Videos in Candidate Emails
Say it once. Send it a hundred times.
Embed videos in candidate emails in seconds—paste a link from any video-hosting platform, or upload a file straight from your device. No attachments, no extra tools, no repeating yourself.
What Does It Mean to Embed Videos in Candidate Emails?
Embedding a video means adding a playable video hosted on any platform that supports embedding, or uploaded from your device directly inside the emails you already send candidates from Discovered. It turns a plain update into video candidate communication without leaving your hiring workflow.
With Discovered’s video embedding, every email can carry more than text. Drop in a company intro, a walkthrough of the next hiring step, or one of your Recruitment Marketing Videos —then reuse it in templates and automated workflows.
Video works anywhere a candidate email lives: candidate profiles, the Processing section of a job post, and your saved message templates.
For example...
Instead of typing the same interview instructions for the fortieth time this month, you record it once, embed it in your “Interview Scheduled” template, and every candidate gets the same clear explanation—automatically. Less typing, fewer questions, better-prepared candidates.
Why Add Video to Candidate Emails?
Get More Emails Opened and Understood
Text gets skimmed. Video gets watched. Show candidates your team, your workplace, and your process instead of describing it.
Stop Explaining the Same Thing Twice
Record instructions once, embed them in a template, and let the email do the explaining every time it sends.
Keep Candidates Warm
Reuse your recruitment marketing videos across follow-ups so top applicants stay engaged from application to offer.
How Embedding Videos into Candidate Communication Works
Open the Email Editor
Start from a candidate profile, the Processing section of a job post, a message template, or any other place you create candidate emails.
Paste a Link or Click the Video Icon
Drop a video link straight into the email—from YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, or any site that supports embedding—or click the video camera icon for more options.
Upload or Paste Your Video
Drag a file into the upload area, pick one from your device, or paste a link. The video is added to the email instantly.
Send It Once or Reuse It Forever
Send the email as-is, or save it as a template so the video ships with every automated workflow that uses it.

Pro Tip
“A short video does what a long email never will—it makes a candidate feel like they’re talking to a person, not a pipeline.”
— Fletcher Wimbush, CEO
