For engineering and technical roles

Collect technical interview answers and work samples before the live stage

A technical screen can ask how someone reasoned about a problem and give them a way to show the work. Choose a task small enough to review properly and explain what the next conversation will cover.

Hirevly supports video, text, file and coding responses in one interview. Your team reviews them asynchronously, adds notes and prepares follow-up questions.

Match the task to the role

For engineering, ask for an explanation of a design choice or a small code response. For technical operations, use an incident scenario. For an analyst, a written interpretation of a fictional result may be more relevant than a camera introduction.

State which tools candidates may use, the time commitment and what reviewers will assess. Avoid an exercise dependent on private knowledge of your production system.

Review the response as technical work

  • Check whether the answer addresses the stated problem.
  • Record the assumptions the candidate made.
  • Look for relevant failure cases and trade-offs.
  • Carry an unresolved technical question into the live discussion.

A submitted code response is material for your reviewers. If you need code execution, automated test suites or proctoring, confirm the available capability before choosing the workflow.

Explore the reasoning together

Return to a choice the candidate made and introduce a new constraint in the live interview. Give them room to ask about the system and the role.

Optional transcripts and AI observations can support review, with outputs checked against the original answer. Your hiring team owns technical progression decisions.
