What is Zoom?

Zoom is a video communications platform that many recruiting and hiring teams rely on to run virtual job interviews, panel screens, and hiring events. Its meeting product supports HD video and audio, screen sharing, waiting rooms, cloud recording, and AI-generated meeting summaries and notes, making it usable for scheduling and conducting candidate interviews alongside its broader business communication tools like chat, mail, and calendar.

Zoom offers a free Basic plan limited to 40-minute meetings, with paid Pro, Business, and custom Enterprise plans that add longer meeting durations, larger participant capacity, cloud storage, unlimited AI note-taking, and administrative controls such as single sign-on. Paid plans are billed per user, with a discount for annual billing over monthly billing.
