Interview Overview

Interview is a great way to assess candidates in a real-time technical interview. You can have multiple hiring managers/engineers join the session and work on a problem with the candidate, connecting voice and video as needed.

Adding Participants

When creating your Interview you can assign a candidate and an interviewer(s) to it. Please note that an e-mail will not be sent to the candidate unless the interview is scheduled.

If adding an existing candidate, you can select the "Add candidate's assessment report" in order to include their it from a previous session.  

Add Content

When creating your interview, you are able to add specific content such as a pre-built assessment, interview questions, and/or a Miro Board.

You can save the content selection as a template to use in future interviews, which will help standardize the process when interviewing multiple candidates for a specific role.

Scheduling an Interview

You can choose the date, time, and duration of an interview when creating the session.  If a candidate and interviewer are assigned, they will receive an email with a calendar invitation.  E-mails will not be sent to the candidate if the interview is not scheduled. You can schedule an interview either when creating it or at a later time through the Interview dashboard.

If the arrangements on your end change and you need to reschedule an interview, you can do so in the Interviews dashboard.

When an interview is rescheduled, participants are notified about the changes.

When you're setting up a session without scheduling it, you will need to send your candidate the session URL.  When it's time for the interview, the candidate will open the URL, click "enter as candidate" and fill in their details before entering the session.

Please note, only once the interviewer has entered and clicked "Start interview" the candidate can enter the interview.

Interviewer Notes

Interviewers with a Codility seat can now take notes during an interview directly in the application. Notes can be reviewed and edited in the interview report.  In-app notes make the interview process more streamlined by reducing the number of tools needed and are a convenient way to consolidate feedback and notes on candidate performance.

• Interviewer notes are not visible to candidates
• Interviewers can only edit their own notes, and can only see others’ notes on the interview report if they have an admin seat.
