OVIA’s core product lets HR representatives record their usual phone-screening questions as video, send them to candidates, and receive recorded video answers to capture nonverbal cues and streamline screening. The platform is designed to automate parts of the hiring process so recruiters can screen more candidates and share screenings with hiring managers. OVIA currently does not support live video chats, so it cannot fully replace in-person interviews for remote hires. The company plans to add live video functionality to better target mobile-worker hiring and also intends to expand to the job-seeking side, though details were not disclosed. OVIA was founded in 2010, is headquartered in Mountain View (planning a move to San Francisco), and has nine employees. The company recently raised funding to support its growth and product development, having received a $2.5M first round from DCM.
