Async (Asynchronous) Interview
Interview where the candidate records answers on their own time, scored later.
Async interviews replace early-stage phone screens. Candidates respond to standard questions on their own schedule, on any device. Recruiters review at 2× speed and score on the same rubric.
Internal Screeq data shows ~78% completion rate vs 30–40% for scheduled phone screens. The format wins on candidate convenience (no timezone gymnastics, mobile-first) and recruiter throughput (parallel review, no calendar coordination).
Async works best for the first human signal after CV review. It does not replace deep technical or values interviews later in the loop.
Keep going. Cross-pollinate.
Internal benchmarks across 40,000+ Screeq interviews. The candidate-experience verdict, the segments where async wins outright, and the ones where it doesn't.
Interview with predefined questions and a scoring rubric, scored independently per dimension.
We're hiring a DevOps / Platform Engineer to own infra, CI/CD, and developer experience. You'll work in a small, senior team that ships, owns its outcomes, and treats teammates and candidates with respect.
Twenty structured interview questions for Software Engineer roles, mixing behavioural, technical, situational, and values. Score 1–5 per question, calibrate independently before debate.
Remote hiring is async by default. Screeq is built for it — async interviews, async feedback, multi-timezone calendar logic, and a candidate experience that works on any device, anywhere.
HireVue pioneered async video interviews. It's a feature, not a platform — and you'll need an ATS and an HRIS around it.
