Talent Recruiting Partners (TRP) are a direct-hire, boutique, recruiting firm that have a passion for people and a priority to provide the best talent in the business. 

Hinterview is the perfect platform for recruiters who are looking to innovate. Our suite of video recruitment tools is for recruiters who want to take their services to the next level.  In the first months of using Hinterview, TRP has fully leaned into onboarding the new technology and applying it to their recruitment strategy. 

Hear first-hand from the TRP team how they use video in their recruiting process, the impact they're seeing, how they found the onboarding process, what it's like to partner with Hinterview and what they predict to happen within recruitment in the future. 

How a direct-hire recruiting firm uses video 

They started their journey with Hinterview in May of 2021 and have been using it daily ever since! They were drawn to Hinterview's video recruitment tools because of how they could help them reach their goal of being the best in the business. And using innovative technology was a vital way to do that!

TRP are an ambitious team led by Emily Anastasia. Emily has 15 years of experience in staffing and started TRP amid the pandemic. She wanted a way to take their recruiting service to the next level and to truly provide expert recruiting for their clients. Their clients and candidates are at the heart of what they do. Emily says, ‘what sets us apart from the rest is that we’re expert ‘matchmakers’ and are always looking to innovate.’

Talent Recruiting Partners are a direct-hire recruiting firm headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. At TRP, they are passionate about bringing top talent to the best employers. They are deeply invested in their partners and are passionate about people. Their team has established a track record of dynamic, lasting connections that help both clients and candidates grow and succeed. Emily shares that, ‘the platform [Hinterview] has really helped us to showcase ourselves in the market.’ 


For their clients: Their team of talent specialists go way beyond recruiting and placement. They serve their clients as consultants, trusted advisors and brand representatives in the marketplace. The TRP team is committed to understanding the companies they work with.

For their candidates: They look beyond the resume to learn more about who they are and where they want their career to go. TRP looks for candidates that bring a broad range of skills, ongoing commitment to growth and genuine enthusiasm to their job.

Using video in their recruitment process

Through COVID, their team started using video more often. Like most recruiting teams using generic video tools, they found that they didn’t have a singular place to store all their videos. Hinterview was the perfect tech solution for TRP. Hinterview solves that issue and made their lives even easier by integrating with Bullhorn and being a cloud-based platform with zero downloads.


The key tool that they use the most is, none other than our founding-feature Hinterview! Hinterview is a world-class candidate presentation and interviewing tool. This feature brings candidates to life through video presentations and offers a faster selection process for hiring managers.

Emily shares that, ‘Hinterview is truly a game-changer in the market. We’re super excited to be one of the first to have it in the Unites States.’ They like Hinterview for the user-friendly UX, which we’re constantly working on for upgrades and refreshments. In fact, we empower our Hinterviewers to connect with our product team directly in a dedicated customer feedback tool so their requests are always top of mind.

Emily says, ‘the nice thing about Hinterview is that it's super easy and user friendly. You do a great job of training and support – you're like an extension to our team.’

When it comes to her clients, who receive hundreds of resumes every week, the supplementary videos from Hinterview are a huge hit! 'They believe it's a great approach to get to know the prospect before bringing them in for a formal interview,' she adds. 'In addition to our write-up and candidate submission, it's a terrific first impression.' Along with Brooke, the Question feature is a team favourite with also Michelle and Caroline. This feature enables a more flexible and engaging experience for candidates and hiring managers.

Michelle has received great feedback from her clients! She says, that it 'adds more to the resume!' Especially when it's used by a candidate who needs some help boosting their profile. She has been able to secure interviews for her candidates who may not have been offered based only on their resumes.
