Would you consider asynchronous video interviews, where candidates record answers at their own pace? I'm intrigued by the idea ever since my HR manager told me about it but I'd like to know what the managers on the bowl feel about this style of interviews? Do you think they give candidates a fair chance to showcase their skills, or do they miss out on the real-time interaction that’s important for assessing fit?

Acc to me they let candidates answer thoughtfully on their own time, which can reduce nerves and scheduling hassles. However, they do miss the real-time back-and-forth that helps assess communication style and adaptability. So I’d use them as a first step but still prefer live interviews before making final decisions.

Absolutely not, or a company that would do them.

I think the back and forth of an ordinary interview provides a lot to assess, and having candidates provide answers on their own time obviously makes that impossible. So unless someone needed that accommodation I wouldn't want to be involved with it. For the vast majority of cases it just wouldn't be very useful.

It’s a reasonable accommodation for some persons.

What kind of situations would this be an accommodating for? Trying to learn more about equity in the hiring process!

In my opinion they are great but not for everyone. This is mainly due to interviews being about cultural norms than anything else

I'd worry that it feels a little too impersonal, almost like having an AI avatar interview you instead of a real person

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
