Methods to Set up Interviews
You can set up Interviews in two ways:
Quick Pad Interviews
Recruiters can create a quick pad by clicking Create Interview. The link for a quick pad is immediately generated, and the recruiter can share this link with the interviewer and the candidate in their preferred mode.
HackerRank does not send any notifications for quick pads. The recruiter is responsible for informing all participants about the scheduled time and providing them with the generated links. Once the link is shared, the candidates can join HackerRank's lobby to wait until the interviewer admits them to the interview.
Scheduled Interview
You can schedule an interview between the candidate and the interviewers. HackerRank sends out email notifications to the candidates and the interviewers specifying the details, such as the link to the interview, date, the time, and so on. The interviewers might also receive additional information, such as the phone number of the candidate, additional notes, and the candidate's resume if specified by the creator of the interview. Refer to the Creating an Interview article for more information.
