Interviewing candidates online allows you to discover the best candidates in your applicant pool.


Our online interviews can be customized to any duration you choose, (typically 5 to 10 minutes long,) where you screen candidates in back-to-back virtual interviews.


How to conduct interviews


  1. At the time of the session (or a few minutes before), log into https://www.tryhellohire.com. You will see the interview sessions scheduled for today and in the future.

  2. To enter the interview space, click on the Go to interview button.

  3. To make yourself available to connect with candidates, click the Start Interviewing button

  4. You will be asked to give permission for Hellohire to access your microphone and camera. Provide access to both.

  5. When a candidate connects, click the Accept button to start the interview.

  6. Rate the candidates and take notes:

    • The Yes, Maybe, and No is your top-level rating and is used to decide whether to move a candidate forward

    • Your team may have added 5-point ratings to evaluate qualifications

    • Take text notes

    • If you need to communicate with the candidate by text, you can use the Chat tab

  7. When the conversation is over, click on the End conversation button.

  8. Finalize your notes, and then Submit and close to make yourself available for the next candidate.
