Interview Zen streamlines technical interviews in three simple steps: 1) Create custom technical questions for your interview, 2) Invite candidates who download our secure proctor app to record video responses, 3) Review comprehensive recordings including video answers, screen activity, and security monitoring reports to make informed hiring decisions.
Create any type of technical question including algorithmic problems, system design questions, debugging exercises, and role-specific tasks. Set custom time limits and define evaluation criteria. Candidates record video responses to your questions while our system ensures interview integrity through comprehensive monitoring.
Interview setup typically takes 5-10 minutes. Create your questions, configure monitoring settings, and generate a secure candidate link. You'll receive notifications when candidates begin their interviews, and real-time monitoring starts immediately.
Once your interview is live, candidates record their responses using our secure proctor application. The system monitors for security violations in real-time and captures complete screen recordings. You can review multiple candidate sessions and receive detailed reports on any security concerns or violations.
We support all major programming languages including Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, Ruby, and many more. Candidates can write code in their preferred language, and our system provides appropriate syntax highlighting and compilation support for real-time assessment.
