Question formats and timers

Video, voice, written and mixed interviews with preparation and answer timers.

Each question can use its own response format:

  • Video — the candidate records an answer with camera and microphone.
  • Voice — audio-only recording with a live waveform.
  • Written — a typed response with word and character counters and automatic draft saving.

Preparation timer

Choose no preparation time, 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds, or a custom duration. Candidates see the question and a countdown before recording starts.

Answer timer

Choose 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes, or a custom duration. Recording can stop automatically when time runs out.

Written limits

Set minimum and maximum word counts or a character limit. Candidates see live counters and cannot submit outside your limits.
