Video Recording Features
We have introduced several new features to optimize the video recording process:
Multiple Takes: Candidates can record multiple versions of their response and select the best one for submission.
Preparation Timer: A countdown timer allows candidates time to prepare before the recording begins automatically.
Between-Takes Timer: A timer between takes provides candidates with a brief pause before starting the next recording.
Minimum Length Warning: Alerts are triggered if the recorded video is shorter than the required minimum time.
Maximum Recording Time: The recording will automatically submit once the maximum time limit is reached.
Benefits of these features
Prevents incomplete submissions: Reduces the risk of upload delays causing incomplete videos.
Enhances candidate performance: Allows candidates to showcase their best work, improving the accuracy of AI-driven analysis.
Setting up a video assessment activity
To ensure the video assessment is both effective and manageable, we recommend the following settings for a 10-minute video assessment activity.
Sample configuration for a 10-minute assessment:
Preparation Time: 1 minute
Candidates are given time to gather their thoughts before the recording starts.
Between-Takes Time: 30 seconds
A short pause is provided between takes to allow candidates to reset.
Maximum Number of Takes: 4
Candidates are allowed to record up to 4 takes and select the best version for submission.
Maximum Recording Length: 5 minutes
Each take can be up to 5 minutes long. The system will automatically submit the recording when the time limit is reached.
While the total time may slightly exceed 10 minutes due to the preparation and between-takes time, candidates are not required to use all the available takes and can submit their video earlier if preferred.
Best practices:
Encourage multiple takes: This allows candidates to refine their responses and submit their best version.
Set realistic time limits: Ensure the maximum recording length allows candidates to respond thoroughly without exceeding the time limit.
Use timers strategically: Preparation and between-takes timers help candidates manage their time effectively.
