FAQ
What's an async interview?+
A short on-demand interview the candidate completes when it suits them — usually 4–7 questions answered by video or audio. No scheduling, no time zones, no no-shows.
Will senior candidates do them?+
If the format respects their time (under 12 minutes, clearly explained) — yes. The handbook includes the exact scripts that hold senior completion rates north of 60%.
Can I use these questions in a live interview?+
Absolutely. The frameworks and rubrics are format-agnostic. Async just lets you screen 10× more candidates with the same rubric.
How is this different from a generic question library?+
Every framework comes with the predictive-validity reasoning, scoring anchors, and consent language. It's a complete interview system, not a list of prompts.
