Companies that use Willo (and what their interview is like)

A grounded list of organizations that have used Willo for one-way video interviews, drawn from Willo's own case studies and a third-party customer database. Plus what a Willo interview is actually like and how to prepare for one.

Updated June 15, 2026 7 min read

Willo is a one-way video interview platform. Drawing on Willo’s own published case studies and a third-party customer database covering roughly 2023 to 2024, organizations linked to it include airBaltic, EDF, Toyota Great Britain, Madison Reed, Endava, and Tunstall. That is recent data, not a live check, so confirm with your recruiter which platform your interview actually uses.

If you have landed here because a recruiter mentioned Willo, or you saw it on an interview link, the short version is below, followed by the full list and how to prepare.

How to read this list

Every company named on this page is tied to a public source, and the framing matters more than the names. Two sources feed the list:

  • Willo’s own case studies, published on willo.video, where a company is named as a customer with a written story.
  • A third-party customer database (appsruntheworld.com), which records organizations associated with the Willo platform.

Neither source is a live status check. The data reflects a recent window, roughly 2023 to 2024, and hiring stacks move fast. A company that ran Willo for a hiring push two years ago may use a different tool now, or run several tools across different teams. So the honest claim is that these organizations have used Willo recently, based on their own case studies or a published database, not that every one of them uses it for every role today. If you have an interview coming up, the only reliable source is your recruiter. Ask which platform you will be using.

What Willo is, in one paragraph

Willo is a one-way interview tool built for screening at volume. An employer sends the same set of questions to a pool of applicants, and reviews the recorded answers later on their own time. There is no live interviewer while you record. What sets Willo apart from most one-way tools is that it is not video-only. A single interview can ask for a recorded video, a voice-only answer, a typed response, or an uploaded file, and it can mix those formats across questions. Retakes, time limits, and whether AI scoring is switched on are all employer settings, and they show on screen before each question.

For the full experience, including retakes, think time, mobile setup, and the AI question, see our walkthrough of what it is like to take a Willo interview.

Companies that have used Willo

Grouped roughly by sector. Each is sourced from either a Willo case study or a third-party customer database, as noted, and reflects recent (roughly 2023 to 2024) data.

Travel, transport, and automotive

Consumer, retail, and other

  • Madison Reed. A hair-color and beauty brand. Named in a Willo published case study. We also have a page on whether Madison Reed uses a video interview.
  • Packaly. A same-day delivery company. Named in a Willo published case study.
  • Watermark. Named in a Willo published case study.
  • Bott + Co. A UK law firm. Named in a Willo published case study.

Recorded in a third-party customer database

These organizations appear in a third-party customer database (appsruntheworld.com) rather than a written case study, so the detail is thinner. Treat them as recent associations with the Willo platform, not confirmed present-day users:

  • 1818 Venture Capital
  • Bayut.com (a Middle East property portal)
  • Council Approval Group
  • DaytoDay Finance
  • Distinctive People (a recruitment firm)
  • Halian Middle East (an IT services and recruitment company)
  • Inclusa (a care-management organization)
  • Warehouse Cinemas

A quick honesty note on two names you might expect to see. Public job-posting data also surfaces a “Follett Higher Education” listing and a “Lakefield Veterinary Group” listing that mention the word “Willo,” but in both cases it refers to something else (an unrelated education integration, and the Willo neighborhood in Phoenix), not the interview platform. We left them off rather than pad the list with false matches.

How to prepare if your interview is on Willo

A spot on this list does not tell you which role uses Willo or how a given employer configured it. But if you have confirmed your interview runs on Willo, the prep is consistent. These first two points are the Willo-specific ones, because its flexibility is what trips people up:

  1. Check each question’s response type first. Video, audio, text, or file. Willo can mix them in one interview, so do not assume every question is a talking-head video. A text question is not a trap, and an audio question means the camera is off for that one by design.
  2. Read the retake and time rules before you record. Willo lets the employer set how many attempts you get, from one to unlimited, and they appear on screen. If it says one, treat that take as the real thing.
  3. Plan three points, then record. A short beat to structure your answer beats re-recording on nerves, even when retakes are unlimited.
  4. Answer the actual question with a specific example. Vague answers are the most common reason strong candidates get screened out of a one-way interview.
  5. Set up once, properly. Prop your camera at eye level, find good front light, pick a quiet room, and use earbuds with a mic. Do a quick test recording first.
  6. Start before the deadline, not on it. Willo invitations can carry an employer-set expiry. Leaving room means a tech hiccup does not cost you the interview.

For the full pre-interview routine, see how to prepare for an asynchronous interview. The two questions candidates ask most about any one-way tool are covered in how many retakes you get and the one-way video interview time limit. And if the AI angle is on your mind, is it an AI interview? explains what these tools do and do not do with your recording.

Frequently asked questions

Which companies use Willo for interviews?
Organizations linked to Willo in public sources include airBaltic, EDF, Toyota Great Britain, Madison Reed, Endava, Tunstall, MyTutor, Florence, Travelxp, WillowTree, and Samsung Singapore, among others. Some come from Willo's own published case studies and some from a third-party customer database covering roughly 2023 to 2024. Hiring tools change often, so treat this as a recent snapshot and confirm with your recruiter which tool your interview actually uses.
How do you know these companies use Willo?
Each name here is tied to a public source: either a case study Willo published on its own site, or an entry in a third-party customer database (appsruntheworld.com). Neither source is a live feed. A company that ran a Willo pilot in 2023 may use something else now, and a company can use more than one interview tool across different teams. The honest framing is that these organizations have used Willo recently, not that they all use it today.
If I got an interview link, is it definitely Willo?
Not necessarily. A company appearing on this list does not mean every role it hires for uses Willo, and many employers run more than one interview platform. The fastest way to know is the link and the sender. Willo invitations usually come from a Willo domain and open in your browser with no app to install. If you are unsure, ask the recruiter directly which platform you will be using.
What is a Willo interview like?
Willo is a one-way interview tool. You get a link, answer the employer's questions one at a time, and record on your own schedule with no live interviewer. What sets Willo apart is that it is not video-only: a question can ask for video, voice, typed text, or a file upload. Retakes, time limits, and AI scoring are all settings the employer chooses, and they appear on screen before each question. Our Willo candidate guide walks through the full experience.
Does Willo score interviews with AI?
Willo records and organizes your answers, and it offers AI features like transcription and scoring that an employer can switch on. Whether your specific interview is AI-scored is the employer's choice, and not something you can see from the candidate side. Either way, a person on the hiring team reviews the answers that matter, so the move is the same: answer the question clearly with a specific example.
