At the time of your interview, follow these steps to begin, conduct and finish your interview:
Step 1. Access the live interview session by one of the following routes:
Click on your interview URL in your calendar invitation. You will then be prompted to sign in as the interviewer by clicking I'M THE INTERVIEWER. On the next page, you will sign in via your company's preferred method. If your company uses SSO, always remember to sign in via SSO when logging into CodeSignal.
Alternatively, if you are already logged into CodeSignal, click on the INTERVIEW tab and search for your candidate on the Interview dashboard.
Pro tip: Filter by Interviewer to see your candidate pool in a filtered view. Click on the candidate's name to access the interview.
Step 2. You’re almost ready to go! Wait for all participants to enter the interview session before selecting a task or open Whiteboard / Jupyter notebook.
[OPTIONAL] Step 3. Click the Video icon to start an audio/video conference call with the interview participants. Otherwise, feel free to use your organization's preferred conferencing method in conjunction with CodeSignal interview.
Step 4. Once the candidate is ready to tackle a programming question, click the CHOOSE TASK button and click Create New or Select Existing to see your task library. By default, you will see a list of your Favorite tasks, which you can quickly select from.
Depending on the type of role you are interviewing for, you have the option to launch Whiteboard or Jupyter notebook directly from the live interview session.
Step 5. After the interview is over, click FINISH INTERVIEW to close the interview session.
[OPTIONAL] Step 6. Depending on your company's recruiting process, you may have the ability to leave interview feedback in CodeSignal. Rate the candidate and save your interview feedback in the Feedback tab. We find that it's best to do this right away, while your memory is still fresh!
