Pre-recorded video interviews are increasingly used by employers for convenience and flexibility—especially across time zones. You’ll record your responses to pre-set questions, within time limits, and submit them without interacting live with a recruiter.

Choose a quiet, well-lit space. Use headphones for better audio.
