New feature: video questions, video answers

One study showed that 85% of teens use YouTube every week – this is a group that loves video.

That’s why our dev whiz kids have been cooking up a new way of quizzing your Gen Z candidates. In some kind of mega-video conversation, you can even let users answer a video question with videos of their own (or choose any/all of the options available in a multimedia question).

Here’s how it works

Add a multimedia question, then get the Weirdly team to configure it with the required video. This will include adding a detailed video content description to boost accessibility for candidates using aids like screen-readers or those whose internet connection won’t cope well with video.

To get people to respond using video, select ‘video’ as your only question type. Once the question video has played, it’ll automatically take your candidate to the recording screen to answer.

Here’s what it’ll look like for you when you’re setting it up:

Once the video has finished playing, the candidate gets the option to respond with a video of their own:

This functionality is super-cool, but how might you use it? We’ve pulled some ideas:

• Create a short screening video interview. Pre-record a series of questions and allow your candidates to respond to each one with their own short video answer.
• Show a video of a customer complaining and ask the candidate to identify two main issues the customer needs to be solved.
• Play a video about an issue important to your company – perhaps supply chain transparency – and pose a question about it for candidates to answer.
