Async interviews

A clear task. A time that works.

Give candidates a focused engineering task they can complete independently. Review what they built, how they checked it, and what they would explore next.

Suggested session: 60 to 90 minutes. Your team sets the actual duration and scope.

Assess practical work

A focused session. A clearer next step.

Use an async interview on its own or alongside your existing hiring process. A live interview is optional, with no required sequence.

  1. 01

    Set clear expectations

    Choose a task, time limit, and rules for AI. Candidates can review the instructions before starting.

  2. 02

    Let candidates choose their start

    Within the invitation window, candidates start the assessment when they are ready and submit their work for review.

  3. 03

    Review before you follow up

    Inspect the submission, available test results, and explanation. Use the remaining questions to plan a useful conversation.

The review

Know what you saw. Know what to ask.

Your team reviews the available evidence and makes the hiring decision. AI use follows the rules you set for the session.

Inspect the sample evaluation
  • The work

    Inspect the submitted solution and the approach the candidate took.

  • The checks

    Review available test results alongside what the candidate says they verified.

  • The open questions

    Identify which decisions deserve a follow-up before your team moves someone forward.

Choose the right next step

Give the next conversation a head start.

When a live follow-up is useful, bring the candidate’s work into the discussion. Explore a fresh constraint instead of asking them to repeat the same exercise.
