Reviewing the Interview

Welcome to the redesigned Interview Analysis page! We've rebuilt this interface from the ground up to provide a more unified, intuitive, and efficient experience for everyone involved in the hiring process, including recruiters, reviewers, and external (CV-link) viewers.

This guide will walk you through the new layout, features, and workflows.

The new interview analysis page is currently only available for pre-recorded (automated) interviews. Live interviews still use the older version, but will also be updated to the new experience in the near future.

 

1. Page Layout: At a Glance

The new page is organized into four main quadrants for clarity and ease of use:



  1. Top Navigation Bar: Contains high-level interview information and key management actions.
  2. Main Player Area (Left): The large, central space where you can watch or review the selected candidate answer.
  3. Side Panel (Right): This panel allows you to navigate between candidate responses and view their transcripts side-by-side with the video.
  4. Information Tabs (Bottom): A set of tabs below the player to access specific details, conduct reviews, and share the interview.


2. The Side Panel: Responses & Transcripts

The panel on the right side of the screen is your primary tool for navigating the interview content.

 

2.1 Responses Playlist

This is the default view in the side panel.



  • Navigate with Ease: Seamlessly switch between questions using the ← / → arrow buttons in the player or by clicking directly on a question in the playlist. The currently selected question will be loaded in the Main Player.
  • Status Messages: The playlist will display clear messages for any non-standard situations, such as a video that is still processing, a failed conversion, or a question the candidate did not answer.

 

2.2 Transcripts

Click the "Transcript" tab at the top of the side panel to view a text version of the candidate's spoken answers. This provides a powerful side-by-side view with the video player.

Transcriptions are only visible if this feature is enabled on both account- & interview template level.




Core Features:

  • Autoscroll: The transcript scrolls automatically as the video/audio plays.
  • Clickable Timestamps: Click any timestamp in the transcript to jump to that exact moment in the recording.
  • Search, Copy, & Download: You can search for keywords, copy text, or download available transcripts for the interview as text (.txt) files. Text answers are also included in the download file.


3. Information Tabs: Details, Review, Share

Below the main player, you'll find a series of tabs to manage the candidate and your evaluation.

 

3.1 Details Tab

This tab provides key metadata about the candidate and the interview itself. For Recruiter users, a button to Export as Excel is also available here.

 


3.2 Reviews Tab

This is the central hub for the entire evaluation process.

 

New: Review Mode Selection

The review format is determined during interview setup. We now offer two modes:

  1. Question-based Review: Rate each of the candidate's answers individually.
  2. One Overall Review: Provide a single, holistic rating for the entire interview.



If Review Instructions are added in the interview template settings, they will be displayed at the top of this tab to guide you.


 

3.3 How to Submit a Review

  • Question-based: For each question, provide a star rating (1-5 stars) and optional written feedback. The Overall Score is automatically calculated as the average of your question ratings.
  • One Overall: Provide a single, overall star rating (1-5 stars) and add your comprehensive feedback in the text box.

3.4 Viewing Team Reviews

  • Unbiased Viewing: To prevent bias, all other team members' ratings are blurred until you submit your own review. A summary table shows all assigned reviewers.
  • Recruiter Override: Recruiter users can click "See reviews anyway" to view all feedback immediately.
  • Locking: Reviewing is disabled once a candidate's status is changed to Approved, Declined, or Hired.



 

3.5 Share Tab (for Recruiter users only) updated Oct 14, 2025

The Share tab is only visible to Recruiter users and allows you to create and manage advanced share links for candidate interviews. These links make it easy to share candidate information with other stakeholders while controlling exactly what they can see and for how long.



1. Create a new link

Click Create New Link to open the settings modal. The Share Settings tab will be active by default.

2. Configure the link settings

  • Link Name: Enter a name for your own reference.
  • Display Options: Use the toggles to control what viewers can see:
    • Candidate Name Visibility: full name (default), first name only, or hidden
    • Show Transcripts – only visible if transcriptions are enabled
    • Show Candidate Feedback – only visible if the candidate left feedback
    • Show Candidate’s Motivation – only visible if available
    • Show Interview Title
    • Show Who Invited the Candidate
    • Show Average Reviewer Score

3. Set link limits

  • Maximum Link Views: The number of times the link can be opened (pre-filled and limited by your account’s maximum).
  • Expiration (in days): The number of days before the link expires (pre-filled and limited by your account’s maximum).



  • (Optional) To create a curated share link, click the Select Content tab. By default, all answers are selected. You can uncheck any answers you wish to exclude from your share link, but you will need to have at least 1 answer selected to continue.


  • Click Create Share Link – the link is generated and copied to your clipboard.

 

If you want to quickly create and copy a share link with the default setting you can click the quick share link button in the top bar of the analysis page.



The Share tab displays a table with all share links for the current interview, giving you a complete overview at a glance.

  • Link Name: Your custom name for the link. A status icon (✅ for active, ❌ for expired) is shown to the left.
  • Link: The URL with a quick-copy icon.
  • Content: This column shows you if a link is curated.
    • If empty, the link contains the full interview.
    • If it shows a count (e.g., 3 / 5), it's a curated version that only shows a selection of answers. Hover over the count to see exactly which answers are included.Full
  • Clicks & Expiration: Track the link's engagement and when it expires.
  • More Actions (...): Edit the link settings or delete the link to immediately revoke access.


4. Recruiter Tools & Management (Top Bar)

The Top Navigation Bar provides recruiters with high-level control.



  1. Candidate Navigation: Use the ← / → arrows to cycle between different candidates within the same interview template.
  2. Candidate Status: Quickly change a candidate's status (e.g., Ready for Review, In Review, Approved, Declined, Hired).
  3. Score Summary: After submitting your review, see your score next to the team average.
  4. Manage Reviewers: Click this icon button to open the reviewer management panel where you can:
  • View all reviewers and their progress (Not Started, In Progress, Done).
  • Add existing users or invite new reviewers by email.
  • Remove reviewers if necessary.

The shared CV Link now opens a fully responsive and modern interface, ensuring a professional viewing experience on any device.

6. What Else Has Changed?

  • Player Widget: For our integrated partners, the embedded Player Widget has been updated visually and now supports all answer types (video, audio, text) for a seamless experience.
  • Removed 'Scoring Criteria': The old 'Scoring Criteria' feature is gone. It will be replaced by a more advanced Criteria-Based Review mode in a future update, which will appear as a third review option.
