I didn’t like anything about this software. I have been doing multiple interviews via apps like this and this one is terrible for multiple reasons. 1st reason, on the iPad the screen wouldn’t rotate to landscape, so I probably look sideways when the job watches the video!! My iPad stand only holds in the landscape position. When clicking through with a link (which doesn’t tell me a password) it doesn’t work, then prompts me for a login that I can’t even create. I had to log onto my computer (with no camera) click through the link to find my randomly assigned password, then go back to my iPad to do the interview. There is no redo like other interview sites I have used. You get one try and that’s it. The questions overlay over you screen in huge ugly yellow letters that is distracting. Their questions are coded wrong and instead of being underlined show <p> and <u/u> all over the place. The user experience is utterly bland and boring. Please go look at HireVue and see how much better it is. I hope I never have to use this again, nothing is more frustrating than having a difficult interface that makes your interview harder.

This was my first digital interview. I had allotted the appropriate amount of time for the interview, but did not anticipate the awful upload speeds in the building. I practiced and did not realize that the lack of practice questions left me simply fumbling to talk to myself while recording. Then, I stumbled a few times and re-recorded the first question. It was what it was, but it then proceeded to drain my phone battery while slowly uploading the answer. This necessitated me running back to my desk for a charging cable. I cannot record at my desk. So, during the first chance for the second question, I was looking for a closer room to record in. Needless to say, when I found a room and recorded an answer, I was not at my best. Then the slow upload again! At this point I got kicked out of that room due to a meeting. I was able to get back to my original room and record the last answer to the third question. Again, not at my best. Third question took less time to upload because I was flustered and short with my answer. If I am successful in securing an interview, it will be in spite of this app rather than because of it.

First time using this app for an interview. I like that fact that you can re-record as many times as you want. But since the practice video didn’t work and didn’t give me the practice questions I had to do the real one over and over again. I have an iPhone 10. I don’t have a home button. I also didn’t realize that once the timer went off for the question that it started recording. Once I found out I was recording I stopped the video. I had to exit out of the app real quick and to do that I have to swipe up. When I swiped up it hit next question on accident and I was unable to go back and fix it. Which I’m already nervous when it comes to interviews. Not being able to fix it and give an actual answer gave me an anxiety attack. I’m really good with technology but I just feel like y’all should look over a few things and maybe give the option to go back or at least to view all videos at the end and make changes as needed. Especially since you use this for interviews and we want them to be perfect.
