  3. Choose a quiet, well-lit space where you can focus without distractions or background noise.

Checking Your Setup

Before your interview begins, you'll see a quick setup screen. To ensure the best possible interview experience, you need to verify and check off the following three requirements:

  • Internet connection is stable: AI video interviews require a continuous data stream. We highly recommend using a reliable, secure Wi-Fi connection rather than cellular data to prevent audio delays or dropped sessions.

  • Microphone is working: Confirm your audio is being captured clearly. (Tip: Using headphones or a headset is strongly recommended to reduce background noise).

  • Camera is working: Ensure your camera is on, positioned at eye level, and your face is clearly visible.

    Note
    • The "Start AI Interview" button will remain disabled until all three boxes are checked.

Interview Tips

  • Be yourself. Treat the interview as a real conversation with a recruiter.
  • Speak clearly and confidently. The AI will transcribe and analyze your answers.
  • Ask for clarification. If you do not understand a question, say so. The AI can repeat or rephrase it.
  • Maintain professionalism. Dress appropriately and stay focused.
  • Prioritize your connection: Sit as close to your Wi-Fi router as possible. Close any background applications, tabs, or downloads that might be consuming your bandwidth before starting.
  • Eliminate distractions: Mute your computer and phone notifications, and ensure you are in a quiet room.
