Custom Questions

A great way to customize the Wedge interview flow for candidates is by adding your own custom questions, we highly recommend it! Read on for steps on how to upload your own!

💡 A note on custom uploads: uploading custom questions is not Interview-specific, so once questions are uploaded they will be available for all Interviews.

How to Create Custom Questions

Follow the steps below to add a custom prompt to your library:

  • Locate and click on the orange + Create Prompt button on the top of the page.
  • Decide whether you'd like to upload/record a video or create a text-only question.
    • If you'd like to upload a video (or multiple) you can drag and drop it from your files or use the browse files link on the page.
    • If you'd like to record a video in app, you can do that by clicking Record one
  • Type a question title into the Internal Title field.
    • This will appear when you hover over the question and is a really helpful shortcut for remembering which question is which.
  • Type the question you'd like candidates to answer into the Prompt Text field.
  • Click the Create button.
    • If you'd like to add another question, click the + button on the bottom left of the screen and repeat the process!

How to Edit Custom Questions

To edit your Custom Questions, hover over the question and click on the pencil ✏️ in the top right. From there you change your prompt text, or edit the Internal Title.

Note! This changes the prompt for all Interviews using this Playlist.

Adding Custom Questions to the Lineup

You can add your custom questions to your lineup the same way you do other questions, by opening up the Custom category and selecting them.

Helpful Info

Recording your own custom questions

There are 2 ways that you can record custom questions, in-app or using a third party app and/or device. To record in-app, click on the Record One link and follow the prompts on the page to record it.

To record a custom question video using a third-party, you have several options, including, but not limited to, a mobile device, webcam, and professional recording equipment. All are great options, just make sure you are in a quiet, well-lit area without any distractions in the background.

💡 Note: video files must be either .mp4 or .mov, in order to be uploaded.


Accessibility

For accessibility reasons, it is very important that the question text match the question you ask in the video exactly. This question text will be shown verbatim to candidates in the recording process, in the case that they can't hear the video, this is the only way they will know the question.

Internal Title

When creating custom questions, you'll see the option to add an Internal Title. This can be really helpful if you are adding multiple of the same questions but want to be able to use them for different Interviews.
