If I was the candidate, and you informed me the interview would be recorded with video, I would politely thank you for your time and end the call.

- oneepic 5y agoI'm not comfortable with the idea of being recorded, especially when I'm already under the pressure of an interview. I don't know how they'll use my video, if it will be used in training, leaked, etc. I might never see that company again, but they could use my video forever without me knowing.
- runnerup 5y agoI was offered an interview which would be recording myself to get graded by AI software: https://startupleague.online/blog/vempathy-tech-scalable-user-research-powered-ai/ https://startupleague.online/blog/vempathy-tech-scalable-use... If I thought my interview was being recorded, I'd assume it was being used for this internally. If given the option to have it recorded, I'd assume that I'd get "minus points" for declining. This is very unfortunate, because I love your idea. I'd just need stronger legal protections to ensure that I wasn't perpetuating part of a dystopia.
- ghaff 5y agoThere is mostly no such things as "optional" in those sorts of situations. It's like "Here's a take home project. It's purely optional but it would give us a better sense of what you can do." In other words, maybe if you utterly wow us in-person you'll get in anyway. But probably not.
