How to Add Video Interview Questions in Testlify

Before You Begin

  • You have an active Testlify workspace.
  • You have permission to create and manage assessments.

Step 1: Create Your Assessment

  1. Click "Create Assessment" from your dashboard.
  2. Select the job role you are hiring for.

Step 2: Add a Skill Test (Optional)

You can add a skill test from the Testlify library to complement the video interview. If you only need video questions, skip this step and proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Add Video Interview Questions

  1. Click "Question" to open the question editor.
  2. In the Custom Question section, select the Video option under the Media tab.
  3. Type your interview question in the text field.
  4. Set the time limit and the number of attempts allowed per candidate.
  5. Repeat steps 1–4 to add more video questions.

Tip: Use open-ended questions such as "Describe a challenge you solved and how you approached it" to get more revealing, high-quality responses. Aim for 3–5 video questions per assessment.

Step 4: Review and Publish

  1. Review all settings — question count, time limits, and proctoring options.
  2. Click "Save" to publish the assessment.

Your video interview assessment is now live. Invite candidates to participate — Testlify's AI automatically scores their video responses. You can also download each video and view the transcript for a detailed manual review.
