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.

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.
