We’re excited for you to meet Zara, our AI recruiter. A bit of preparation can make the experience smoother and more effective. Treat it like a regular interview, and be sure to follow the steps below to help Zara guide the conversation successfully.
Here are some of best practices to set you up for success:
Before the Interview
Check Your Tech:
Use a desktop or laptop computer – Mobile devices are not supported at this time.
Test your camera and microphone – Make sure both are working clearly.
Ensure a stable internet connection – This helps prevent delays or interruptions
Set Up Your Environment
Choose a quiet, distraction-free space to stay focused during your interview.
Use a neutral or tidy background to maintain a professional appearance.
Optimize Your Lighting
Position yourself in natural light or soft, even lighting to clearly illuminate your face.
Avoid harsh shadows or strong backlighting, which can make it difficult to see your expressions..
Continuing Through to Completion
Keep Your Camera On
Maintain eye contact with the camera to create a more engaging and personal interaction.
Avoid looking away or using hand signals, as these could flag the system.
Facial expressions help Zara better understand your tone and intent—treat it like a real interview.
Speak Clearly and Articulate
Use a steady pace, speak clearly, and avoid mumbling.
Enunciate your words to improve clarity and understanding.
Take short pauses to give Zara time to process your responses.
Eliminate Background Noise
Use headphones or a noise-canceling microphone if possible.
Be mindful of your surroundings—background noise may be misinterpreted as part of your response.
Excessive noise or unclear speech could also trigger system flags, so a quiet environment is essential.
