Take-Home Assignment
Asynchronous skill assessment given before or instead of a live interview.
Best when scoped to ≤2 hours, judged on a rubric, and treated as one signal among many. Worst when used as free labour or judged inconsistently.
Candidate completion rates drop sharply past 3 hours. Pay for take-homes above 4 hours — it's the right thing and it filters for serious applicants.
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 where the candidate records answers on their own time, scored later.
We're hiring a Implementation Consultant to get customers live in weeks, not months. 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.
Engineering hiring is structured-interview-heavy and signal-poor. Screeq's rubric-first interview workflow and AI scoring fit how tech actually hires.
HireVue pioneered async video interviews. It's a feature, not a platform — and you'll need an ATS and an HRIS around it.
