An asynchronous interview, also known as a one-way interview, is a hiring method where candidates record video or audio responses to pre-set questions at their convenience, without a live interviewer present. It’s commonly used as an early-stage screening and verification tool, allowing hiring teams to review responses on their own time while improving efficiency and scheduling flexibility. This approach can help organizations quickly evaluate large candidate pools and reduce time-to-fill. However, it may limit personal connection and prevent candidates from asking follow-up questions, which can impact the overall candidate experience.
