Adding a Video Response to Equip Assessments

What is a Video Response Test?

In a Video Response test, the candidate records a video in response to your questions. You can watch the video asynchronously and award points. These tests are useful to assess communication skills and understand the candidate's thinking process better. Because the entire process of recording and uploading happens within Equip, the candidate and recruiter experience is seamless. Also, unlike in the case of a candidate uploading a video recorded offline, you don't have to worry about the candidate cheating on the test.

How to create?

1. On your Recruiter Dashboard, click Custom Tests on the sidebar
2. Select Video Response and click Create
3. Set a Title that you will later use while adding the test to your assessment
4. Select Add Questions to proceed
5. Type the question, set points, add more questions if needed and then Save the test
6. Use this saved test in a new or existing assessment
