An asynchronous video interview is your chance to let your personality, communication style, and unique experiences shine. We understand that recording video responses can sometimes feel a bit nerve-wracking, but Mimo is designed to make this process as comfortable, fair, and seamless as possible.

You do not need to coordinate schedules with a recruiter. You have full flexibility to complete your video session wherever and whenever you are most comfortable, as long as it is finished before the employer's deadline.

Follow this sequential walkthrough to set up your recording environment, check your camera, record your responses, and securely submit your interview:

1. Access the Interview Dashboard: Open the Mimo mobile app on your smartphone, navigate to the bottom menu bar, and tap the Interview icon.
2. Join Your Assigned Session: Tap the Join Session button at the top of your screen. Enter the unique Interview ID or Invitation Code sent to your email by the HR team, and tap Continue.
3. Confirm Interview Details: Carefully review the scheduled role, company name, and list of expectations shown on your screen. If everything looks correct, tap Confirm Interview to link the session to your candidate dashboard.
4. Verify Your Deadline: Review your interview schedule and note the Expires on... date and time. It is highly important that you complete and submit your entire session before this deadline to ensure your application remains active. When you are ready, tap Start Interview.
5. Perform Your Camera & Audio Check: Position your phone securely on a stable surface at eye level. Adjust your lighting so your face is clearly visible, ensure your microphone is working, check your framing on the preview screen, and tap Start.
6. Listen to the Prompt: Mimo's friendly AI presenter will read the active question aloud to you. Take a brief moment to gather your thoughts, construct your response, and tap the Answer button to begin recording.
7. Monitor Your Timer: Speak clearly into your phone's microphone. Keep an eye on the countdown timer in the top-right corner of the screen (typically displaying a maximum limit of 3:00 minutes per question), and structure your answer comprehensively within this window.
8. Proceed to the Next Question: Once you have finished speaking, tap the Stop & Next Question button. This will automatically upload your completed response segment and load the next prompt. Repeat this process until all questions have been answered.
9. Finalize and Submit: After your final response is processed, a confirmation screen will appear on your app. This indicates that your recordings have been securely saved, transcribed, and sent directly to the employer's recruiting team. You can now safely close the application.

Best Practices for a Successful Session

To ensure your interview is captured with the highest quality and remains completely valid, please keep these helpful tips in mind before tapping start:

• Find a Quiet Space: Choose a private, quiet room with minimal background noise so the AI transcription engine can capture your spoken words with perfect accuracy.
• Optimize Your Lighting: Position yourself facing a window or light source. Avoid strong backlighting, as this can make your face dark and trigger proctoring alerts.
• Keep Your Device Steady: Avoid holding your phone in your hand. Lean it against a solid object or use a tripod to prevent camera shaking during your recordings.
