    Once the video pitch has been activated, you have the option of offering your applicants a video pitch in the job opening. If you activate the option in the job opening, applicants will be given the opportunity to introduce themselves to you in a 30-second video in the application form. After submitting the application, applicants will receive an invitation with a link to the short introduction by email. As soon as applicants have clicked the link in the email, you will see a gray bideo icon next to the profile image in the application. This indicates that the person has not yet submitted a video. Once a video is available, the color changes to turquoise and you can watch the video by clicking the icon.
