    To be brutally honest, I would not consider any employer who uses such a technique to filter out candidates and that is what it is - filtering out with the least effort. Both parties are expected to be on their best behaviour during the recruiting process and if they treat you with such disrespect at this stage I would not hold out much hope for how they would treat you later.

    I am involved with graduate recruiting and there is a growing trend of graduates refusing/ignoring employers who do this. Hopefully the message will get through.

    Sorry to sound stupid. But what's a pre recorded interview?

    The platform that’s used is VidCruiter, as far as I understand the questions are pre-recorded, and from what I understand, I’ll have 90 seconds to read a question, 90 seconds to record it and 3 attempts to record an answer. I haven’t tried it yet, so I can’t tell more.

    Are all industries using this now?

    Wow, this is a new low! It's like a screening process.

    As for your question re questions to get expected. I'd imagine the questions asked would be similar to a face to face interview?

    But like above, if the company can't be bothered meeting potential future employees, it doesn't bode well.

    Use the STAR technique when preparing each answer.

    Good luck.

    Basically you are making a YouTube video for them to watch later like they do any other video. And they will, probably unintentionally, react in the same way - move on after the first 10 seconds if they don't like what they see.

    The reality is that the people who will past that filter are the ones that know and can practice the art of making an attention grabbing YouTube video and that means you are going to have to sell yourself in the first 10 seconds, because most of the rest of what you say and do will never get heard.

    I'd only consider an employer who engages in this kind of thing if I did not have any alternative and I'd be looking for another employer from day one.
