Video questions are a great tool to test a candidate's communication skills if the job requires face-to-face communication.
We recommend using video in a more targeted way by only asking for video answers when seeing someone is truly important to assessing their performance. As a rule of thumb, two to three video questions per skills assessment is the right balance.
Adding a Video Question to an Assessment
To add a video question select "Video" as your question type and type your question into the text field.
You can then choose to limit the recording length of candidate's video responses. For instance, if you choose to set the candidate's recording time limit to 3 minutes, the candidate will not be allowed to record a video that is longer than 3 minutes.
Include a correct answer sample in every video question. This helps the AI understand what a 'good' answer looks like and should be written in the format you expect candidates to respond with.
Best Practices for Video Questions:
- Include video questions from Q3 onwards - if video is the first question in an assessment, adoption drops over 30%
- 3 video questions maximum - if there are more adoption will drop by 15%
- Include videos that are under 3 minutes long
- Please keep the following best practices in mind when adding video questions
