Video Interviewing Process
 
How long do I have to complete my interview? 

There will be a set deadline but the date will be communicated in your invitation email as “complete by”. After the communicated date the link will no longer be valid.

 

 

How much time do I have to answer a question?

The available answer time per question is set by the company you are applying to. When conducting your interview, the maximum answer time per question is shown on the recording page. The available time can vary so be sure to check the time limit set per question.

 

 

Is it possible to see the interview questions in advance?

No, just like a traditional face-to-face interview you are not given the questions in advance.

 

 

If I move forward to the next question, can I return to the previous one?

No, after you complete your answer it is saved and you move on to the next question.

 

 

Can I re-record my answers?

No, we try to keep it as close to a face-to-face interview as possible. Once you are done recording your answer it will be saved and you will not be able to re-record.

 

 

Can an interviewer record the interview without my permission?

No, on the sign in page there is a link to an agreement, by signing into the interview room means that you agree to the terms and you give the interviewer permission to make a recording. Only after you have signed into the interview room the recording functionality will be available for an interviewer.

 

 

How do I make sure that I present myself professionally in my video interview?

Here are our top tips:

  • Ensure the room is light and be aware of what is displayed in the background
  • Make sure you center yourself in the video frame
  • Dress for the video interview like you would for a traditional in-person meeting
  • Check your composition. It is important that you make eye contact
  • Treat the video interview just like an in-person interview with regards to grooming
