Hellooo {{First Name| there}},

AI video interviews are no longer a "future of hiring" conversation. They're already in your hiring process. And if you've ever stared blankly at a screen waiting for a human who never shows up, you know exactly what we mean. 😅

Here's how to stop winging it and actually walk in prepared.

Your CS team stops waiting for engineering.

Every CS team has a wishlist. Health dashboard. QBR generator. Renewal command center. They sit in engineering's backlog for quarters.

A colleague in Slack ships the wishlist in a week. Hosted on your subdomain. Refreshes nightly.

84,000+ apps built on Viktor. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

🎥 5 Ways to Prepare for AI Video Interviews

🧘 Treat it like a real interview, not a recording

The biggest mistake candidates make? Treating an AI interview casually because there's no human on the other end. The AI is still evaluating your tone, pace, word choice, and confidence. Show up like someone is watching — because something is.

📋 Know your stories before you sit down

AI interviews love competency-based questions. Before you log in, prepare 3 to 5 solid examples from your work history using the STAR format — Situation, Task, Action, Result. You won't have time to think on the spot.

👁️ Eye contact is still everything

Look directly into the camera, not at your own face on screen. It sounds obvious but almost nobody does it naturally. Practice this before the real thing. It signals confidence and engagement even to an algorithm.

⏱️ Mind your pace. Slow down

Nerves make people rush. AI systems flag unclear or overly fast speech. Speak deliberately, pause between points, and give your answers room to breathe. A short silence is always better than a rambling answer.

🔦 Sort your setup before the day

Lighting, background, audio. These aren't just aesthetics. A dark or cluttered frame, poor sound quality, or a lagging connection can hurt how you come across — and some AI systems factor in visual and audio clarity. Test everything 24 hours before, not 5 minutes before.

🤖 Speaking of AI interviews...

Ever wondered what it actually looks like from the other side?

Goodfit is what modern AI-powered hiring looks like in practice. Every candidate gets an AI voice interview, scored and ranked before a recruiter even opens a CV. No bias, no scheduling chaos, no hours lost on early-stage screening.

If you're an HR professional curious about how AI interviews actually work — or want to see what your candidates experience — it's worth a look.
