Frequently asked questions

How long should an interview slot be?

Screening interviews are usually 30 minutes; full technical or behavioural interviews are 45–60 minutes; onsite panels run 60–90 minutes with structured segments.

Should I share the timer with the candidate?

In coding interviews, yes — showing the countdown makes pacing a shared responsibility. Use the Copy link button to share a preset URL.

What about per-question limits?

Use the 10 or 15 minute preset per question in a structured panel; that leaves clear time at the end for the candidate's questions.
