FAQ

All the information you need to go allUP!

General
If I am in a job search, how can allUP help me?

Your allUP profile is designed to help you skip screening calls and showcase why you're the ideal candidate—something a resume can't always do alone.

Here’s how allUP helps you land the right job:

Access to a Growing Network
We continuously connect with recruiters and hiring managers to align profiles like yours with relevant opportunities. While we don’t offer individual meetings, our platform highlights your strengths to the right people in our network.

Visibility to Thousands of Companies
Thousands of companies use allUP to find talent for key roles. Our AI ensures your profile is seen by recruiters searching for your skills—even beyond the jobs listed on our board.

Interviewing
I am being asked to create an allUP account as part of applying for a job. Why is this needed?

With hundreds, often thousands of people applying to a single role it’s impossible to do a live screening conversation with every person to find the best fit candidates.

For companies that want to quickly find the best talent for their role, that often means taking shortcuts like filtering by “elite” universities or “top” companies. We believe that this is a recipe for missing amazing talent. Bullet points on a resume just don’t tell the whole story.

Companies partner with allUP to gain a deeper understanding of their candidates and to create a more equitable hiring process. allUP helps companies find the hidden gems in their candidate pool and makes the hiring process more efficient for all parties through asynchronous screenings.

Why can't we just do a live interview?

Live conversations are, and should always be, a core part of the hiring process. They give hiring managers the chance to dive into nuanced questions—and give you the opportunity to ask your own.

But early-stage screening calls can be repetitive and limit how many candidates companies can truly get to know. That’s where allUP helps.

allUP is a professional network where you can showcase your skills, strengths, and unique qualities—beyond just a resume. As part of the process, you have the option to record short videos by choosing from career-focused prompts. It’s a simple way to introduce yourself, stand out, and share your story with multiple companies—if you choose to.

Companies also share videos, so you get a better sense of their team and culture before moving to live interviews.

By making the screening stage asynchronous and optional, allUP helps ensure that when live conversations do happen, they’re more meaningful, focused, and worth your time.

Where can I check the status of my application?

You can easily track your applications by going to your homepage and looking under "Active job applications." Here you'll see any updates, check if you've completed all the prompts for the roles you're applying to, and track your progress.

You'll also receive updates on your application status directly from our team via email!

If you ever want to check in or have questions about your application, feel free to reach out to us at hello@allup.world anytime—we're always happy to help!

Profile
Who is going to see my allUP profile and the videos I create?

Share with Anyone:

Your public allUP profile and all of your videos can be shared with anyone you would like. This is a powerful tool for standing out when applying for jobs. It also means you can invite trusted colleagues to give you feedback or react to your videos.

The allUP Member Placement Team:

The first people to see your videos are the allUP Member Placement Team. Their goal is to help you build the strongest possible profile. They will provide you with feedback to make your videos stand out to employers before any recruiters or hiring managers see them.

Hiring Teams:

Once your profile is shared with a recruiter or hiring manager, they often will invite other internal stakeholders to see it. This gets other people on the hiring team excited about you and the impact you are able to make. With so many companies having distributed teams and managing multiple time zones. It accelerates the hiring process to have sharable videos.

Every video you create on allUP is analyzed by our AI to generate tags that make you discoverable by recruiters and hiring managers searching for top talent on allUP.

Do I have to record videos to build an allUP profile?

You don't have to, but it’s a great feature! One of the advantages of allUP is that you can also invite trusted friends and colleagues to support you in building your profile. Inviting others to share your strengths and accomplishments validates your experience and helps employers know what it’s like to work with you.

How long does it take to build my profile?

You can create a solid foundation for your allUP profile in 10-15 minutes, but building a truly standout profile is an ongoing process.

Just like crafting a strong resume takes time and refinement, making your allUP profile shine—especially through compelling videos and detailed experience showcases—requires more investment and engagement.

The key is to continuously update and enhance your profile as your career evolves, ensuring it always reflects your latest accomplishments and growth.

Recording and editing videos
How should I prepare for recording my videos?

Videos that perform best on allUP are casual. The more it feels like you’re talking to a friend, the deeper the person watching your video will connect with you. Don’t stress about writing your answers out and trying to be perfect.

Basically, just be your awesome self. We are always most critical of ourselves so don’t stress about having the perfect hair, outfit, location, etc. Your story is enough. And you can always retake your clip later if you decide you really don’t like it.

How should I dress and where should I record?

You should dress in whatever way makes you feel comfortable. Our data shows that casual videos, where people are answering the prompts like they are talking to a friend perform best. Wear whatever makes you feel like you can have that type of conversation.

You can record your videos anywhere. Some people like to record at their desk and others do it when they’re walking the dog or hanging out in the park. The app will help you frame yourself so you look great no matter what. You probably don’t want to record in a dark room or while your standing on the side of the freeway but otherwise feel free to have fun with it.

Nope. You can record prompts in any order and at any time. Only have a few minutes to spare? Feel free to record as much as you want now, then come back and record the others when you have time. You may always skip any prompt if you’re not feeling it.

Should I retake my video if I stumble on my words?

You are always welcome to do a retake, but there is no need to be perfect. Our AI will help clean your video up and make sure you sound great. Being yourself is also always better than trying to be perfect.

Can I edit my videos?
