Inside Jobma: Technology and Candidate Readiness Essentials

As hiring becomes more competitive and global, video interviews have moved from a convenience to a core part of the recruitment technology stack. Organizations are leaning towards platforms that support virtual interviews and ensure smooth performance across devices and workflows.

This blog takes a closer look at the technology behind Jobma, an AI video interviewing platform designed to support modern hiring at scale. Built on a secure, scalable cloud infrastructure, Jobma offers a robust technical solution that seamlessly integrates with existing ATS and HR systems that hiring teams are already using.

1. Video Interviewing in Recruitment

Video interviewing has become a key component of modern hiring strategies. As teams expand across time zones and geographies, virtual interviews provide a scalable way to connect with talent without compromising on consistency or speed.

This shift toward asynchronous and live video formats enables companies to:

• Eliminate geographical barriers and accommodate top talent
• Streamline scheduling challenges across time zones
• Minimize the costs and time associated with traditional in-person interviews
• Improve the candidate experience by offering flexibility and convenience

Video interviews allow candidates to record responses on their own schedule while enabling hiring teams to review submissions collaboratively, reducing time-to-hire and improving decision consistency. They also help reduce unconscious bias through structured evaluations, standardized questions, and speed up hiring timelines without sacrificing candidate quality or experience.

2. Core Technology Behind Jobma

Jobma is built to ensure scalability, reliability, and global access through a modern, scalable infrastructure and broad device compatibility.

• Cloud-Based Infrastructure: Jobma runs on a secure, cloud-native architecture that scales automatically with user demand. It ensures reliable performance for both employers and candidates, regardless of their location.
• Cross-Platform Support: Interviews can be accessed from any major platform, Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS. This flexibility allows users to access platform features using the devices they already own.
• Browser Compatibility: Jobma supports all modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, without requiring additional plugins or extensions.
• Device Setup Requirements: A basic webcam, working microphone, and stable internet connection are recommended for best results. Built-in pre-checks ensure everything is working before interviews begin.

Interview Formats

Available interview formats to support various stages of the hiring workflow and candidate interaction levels:

• Asynchronous Video Interviews: A type of interview where candidates record video responses to pre-set questions, without directly interacting with the interviewer. This format is also known as one-way or pre-recorded interviews.
• Live Interviews: A real-time video interview where candidates interact directly with a human interviewer through a scheduled virtual session.
• AI-assisted Live Interviews: In AI-assisted interviews, candidates engage in a live, dynamic conversation with an AI assistant trained to simulate natural conversation, ask questions aligned with specific skills and job roles
• Multi-stage Interviews: A structured process that combines multiple rounds, such as pre-recorded, live, and AI interviews, based on the hiring workflow.

Question Formats

Interviews can include multiple question types depending on the role requirements:

• Video Response (Record a video response)
• Audio Response (Record an audio response)
• Live Coding (Built-in code editor with test cases)
• Written Response (Type your response)
• MCQ / MSQ (Select one or more correct options)
• True / False (Choose if the statement is correct)
• Fill in the Blank (Complete the missing part of a sentence)
• Option Matching (Match related terms or concepts)

For example, video response questions are ideal for assessing communication style, confidence, and role presence, like in sales, customer success, or leadership positions. Live Coding helps hiring teams evaluate coding proficiency and problem-solving skills, making it well-suited for engineering or technical assessments.

Invitation and Access Tools

Different methods to share candidate invitations depending on hiring volume and platform preferences:

• Invite links sent via email and SMS

Technical Checkpoints

Pre-interview tools to ensure candidates are technically ready and confident:

• Built-in system check: Before the interview starts, candidates are guided through a system diagnostic that checks their camera, microphone, browser, and internet connection. This helps prevent last-minute disruptions and ensures their setup meets the platform’s requirements.

• Practice questions: Candidates can attempt practice questions that simulate the actual interview environment. This allows them to test their audio-video setup, understand how the timed responses work, and build familiarity with the interface.
• Timed responses and on-question retakes: Each question comes with a set response time and optional retakes configured by the recruiter. This structure balances fairness and flexibility.

Privacy and Consent

Clear communication and compliance measures are built into the interview flow:

• Privacy disclosures with the invitation: When candidates receive an interview invite, it includes a clear and concise privacy statement. This outlines how their data, such as video responses and information, will be used and stored.
• Explicit consent before participation: The platform requires candidates to review and accept the terms of participation before they can begin the interview. Consent is collected at the time of invitation and before the interview starts, reinforcing ethical hiring and data management.

Support Access

Multi-channel Support is always available for candidates:

• 24/7 live chat and email support available globally: If candidates face issues in starting their interview, camera/microphone problems, or general platform queries, they can reach out to the support team anytime, from anywhere in the world, via live chat and email.
• Self-service help center for common technical issues: A comprehensive help center is available with step-by-step articles, troubleshooting tips, and frequently asked questions to help candidates find quick solutions for common technical issues.

These measures help create a low-stress environment that lets candidates focus on performing their best.

4.1 Recommended Setup for Smooth Pre-recorded Interviews
