How to Make the Most of Each Feature
1. Interview Builder
What It Does:
Generates customized, role-specific questions based on resumes and job descriptions you upload.
How Recruiters Use It:
- Upload candidate resumes and detailed job descriptions during setup.
- Let the AI analyze skills, competencies, and experiences to create targeted questions.
- Review and refine the suggested questions before the session.
- Ensure consistency across interviews while still tailoring to each candidate.
This reduces prep time, improves fairness, and helps interviewers stay aligned.
Tip: Always review AI-generated questions before asking to ensure they fit your role and context.
2. Collaborative Whiteboard
Best For: System design discussions, algorithm flows, debugging, and visual problem-solving.
How It Works:
- Switch to the whiteboard view during interviews (bottom-left corner).
- Both interviewer and candidate can draw or write in real time.
- Supports freehand sketching, shapes, arrows, and text annotations.
Available Tools:
- Selection tool to resize or move objects
- Freehand pen for sketches and notes
- Shapes (rectangles, circles, diamonds) for structured diagrams
- Arrows/lines to connect ideas
- Text tool for pseudocode or annotations
- Undo/redo for quick fixes
- Eraser to remove content
Everything is recorded in a secure environment, so you can review the candidate’s process later.
3. Code Jam
Best For: Real-time programming assessments.
How It Works:
- Choose relevant programming languages when setting up.
- Upload tasks or let Interview Builder generate coding challenges.
- Collaborate with the candidate in a shared editor, just like pair programming.
- Use the built-in compiler to run code instantly.
- Document evaluation notes in the feedback section right after the session.
This gives insight into not just the final solution but also how the candidate approaches complex problems.
4. Screen Sharing
Let candidates present portfolios, demo applications, or walk through past projects directly during the interview.
- Keep this feature active for design or portfolio reviews.
- Use Talview’s Secure Browser restrictions to ensure fairness while still allowing meaningful presentations.
5. AI Proctoring
Talview’s AI Proctoring ensures integrity in live assessments by monitoring:
- Webcam feed
- Audio activity
- Screen usage
The system automatically flags suspicious behavior in real time. Recruiters get alerts on a dashboard and can decide whether to pause, investigate, or continue the interview.
This minimizes human error, reduces bias, and scales easily for high-volume hiring.
6.Candidate Verification
Candidate authenticity is guaranteed with a two-step process:
Live face capture via webcam:
Recruiters receive confirmation once the verification is cleared, ensuring the right person is being interviewed.
7. Interview Insights
Interviewers can:
- Record structured feedback during or after the interview
- Instantly share notes with hiring managers via a centralized dashboard
- Access comparative reports to identify top candidates more confidently
This transforms interviews into data-driven hiring decisions rather than gut-based calls.
Best Practices for Success
- Prepare: Review resumes and pre-load coding or design problems.
- Structure: Decide which tools (Code Jam, Whiteboard, etc.) to activate before the session.
- Engage: Encourage candidates to explain their reasoning out loud.
- Stay Updated: Talview regularly rolls out new features—make sure your team is aware of the latest updates.
