Job boards are populated with hundreds, even thousands, of job applications every day. And according to a CNN report earlier this year, 48% of hiring managers have turned to the powers of AI to screen resumes in the first stage of the hiring process — meaning many applications never even reach human eyes.
This has helped hiring managers reduce the number of applications. But the question of authenticity surfaces: how many of these paper applications — often written or optimized with AI — hold true to what they claim? How much of the talent pool does AI miss simply due to a few missing keywords?
Glowvo: Humanizing the Hiring Process
Here’s where Glowvo comes in. Amid the monotonous world that AI has created, Glowvo is on a mission to humanize the hiring process — for job seekers hoping to be seen and heard, and for employers seeking genuine cultural fits. Glowvo envisions a process where personality shines, and mutual fit and human connection are deeply valued.
We believe in a world where hiring managers care about who someone is, not just what they’ve done.
The Problem with Traditional Hiring
Even before AI, traditional resumes limited both job seekers and hiring managers.
Recruiters often sort through hundreds of resumes and don’t have the time to read long, winding essays or four-page CVs. Yet condensing everything into one page can make a resume dense, hard to read, and visually unappealing — especially for candidates with long and varied careers.
On top of that, traditional resumes are static. They offer little room for creativity, and no space to express personality or passion. They don’t show who someone is.
As of June 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 7 million unemployed people in the U.S. In a sea of applications for a role that will only hire one, how can a job seeker truly stand out? And how can hiring managers find the right fit beyond keywords?
What is Glowvo?
Glowvo is a video resume platform that helps applicants create professional, authentic video resumes that showcase their confidence and character — going beyond what paper resumes can offer.
Alongside video production guidance, Glowvo also offers career coaching and personal branding services. This is a modern hiring solution built to let job seekers be heard and hiring managers see the human behind the page.
Even before interviews are set, video resumes help employers assess communication style, confidence, and passion — all in just 90 seconds.
How Glowvo Works
Video resumes can be done right at home. With Glowvo’s support, there’s no need to hire a professional videographer to make a polished, compelling resume.
Glowvo guides clients every step of the way: from scriptwriting and selecting a shoot location, to camera framing, tone of voice, and body language. We help you showcase your genuine enthusiasm — through eye contact, facial expressions, and thoughtful delivery.
We provide role-specific prompts and questions to help candidates show heart and purpose. Once recorded, the video is edited by our in-house team to fit within a concise 90-second format.
The final video resume can be linked directly on a traditional resume or shared via a QR code.
This is an effective recruiting tool for all stakeholders — one that allows everyone to have a seat at the table.
Why Video Resumes Matter
You might be wondering: is a video resume really worth the effort?
Yes. Job seekers are exhausted by the job hunt. Submitting six applications a day, often with no response, can feel demoralizing. Video resumes provide something rare–the opportunity to be seen and heard.
Even if you don’t land the interview, there’s comfort in knowing you presented your true self. It minimizes the “what ifs.”
A video resume lets you communicate your story, your energy, your motivation, and your unique connection to the role. It brings clarity to hiring managers faster, helping them identify strong fits more efficiently.
Benefits for Job Seekers
Once a hiring manager scans your QR code or clicks your link, you’re no longer just another name on paper — you’ve already made your first impression.
