A Harvard career advisor offers three tips for acing self-recorded job interviews.

Self-recorded interviews are being automated in addition to resume and cover letter reviews during the hiring process.

Some companies are shifting away from traditional interviews and using one-way platforms where job seekers record themselves answering prompts before reaching the live interview round, according to Gorick Ng, a Harvard University career advisor and creator of the "How To Say It" flashcard series for professional communication. Common platforms include HireVue, Spark Hire, and InterviewStream.

Ng states that some companies use pre-recorded interviews to quickly move through a list of candidates, while others employ artificial intelligence to transcribe and evaluate an applicant's responses.

He remarks that the difficulty with an AI interview is that it's a single chance to respond, and it's not a dialogue.

Here's how to give a self-recorded interview your best shot.

Prepare your outfit and background

Your appearance will still matter even if you're not directly speaking to a human during your interview, according to Ng.

Ensure that your attire, audio quality, lighting, visual background, and internet connection are all in good condition, as they can be evaluated as indicators of your professionalism.

Look directly into the camera

When communicating with others online, maintaining eye contact with your computer's camera may not be as important as it is in face-to-face interactions. However, Ng advises that in uncertain situations, it's better to look at your webcam rather than your screen.

According to Ng, directly facing the camera during a job interview can make a stronger first impression on playback and convey to the reviewer that you are not using AI text-generator ChatGPT for real-time assistance, which may be a concern for some paranoid companies.

If someone's eyes are moving left or right like they're reading from a teleprompter, it's a giveaway that they're reviewing, he explains.

Get to the point

In a recorded evaluation, Ng advises that responses should be a concise and substantive monologue, similar to a one-way conversation during an interview.

If your remarks are not concise and well-prepared, the transcript will appear disorganized and unclear.

He states that any job interview filmed will likely include standard behavioral questions, such as an introduction, discussing your future goals with the company and role, and describing a specific instance where you exhibited leadership or challenged a manager.

Even when not speaking to a person, the same rules for answering a question in a conventional interview apply, according to Ng. He suggests using the STAR method, an interviewing technique that involves describing the situation, task, action, and result to structure your anecdotal response.

Ng argues that the early-stage taped interviews are a positive aspect of the automation trend, as they provide more practice opportunities for individuals in a low-risk environment.
