Configuring Your on demand Interview

1. After creating or selecting a requisition, you’ll be redirected to the Questions section of the req. From the Questions section you can configure your on demand interview.

2. In the General Settings section, you can configure the overall settings for your interview. Choose to activate or deactivate the “Display question in advance” feature and the “Enable failover to voice” feature which will allow the candidate to only record a voice response if their hardware or internet connection do not meet interview requirements.

3. Select the number of attempts allowed from the drop down list. This setting determines the number of attempts the candidate will have to record each question response. E.g. if two attempts are allowed the candidate will be able to re-record their answer one time if necessary.

4. Set an expiration date.
   • Relative Expiration: A Relative Expiration will automatically set the expiration date for each candidate. Each candidate will have the number of days / hours you have set to complete their responses after their invitation has been sent.
   • Absolute Expiration: An Absolute Expiration forces all candidates to complete their responses by a specific date. This date will be presented to the candidate during the process.
   • Please note: the options may vary based on your account settings
