i know i feel like im always rushing through my case studies and theres still no time for questions or clarifications

definitely see how that could be a blocker especially if you have to do multiple retakes! might be a good product idea to explore how to record authentic presentations and have them auto-edit 🤔

We did that for a while at Loom for the first round of interviews (after recruiter screen), which was a 2:1 portfolio presentation. Some liked it, but for those who weren’t used to or comfortable with recording themselves, especially a long presentation, it was a lot of prep.

as long as i only get one chance to record the Loom so i don’t have to listen to myself over and over 😅

i think its a universal thing to hate how we sound on camera 😭

I would love this! Some companies only give you 45 min which is so tight for 2 case studies (esp when providing adequate context) and questions 😵‍💫 so much time would be saved if ppl just watched at 2x speed too

take home design challenges should be abolished imo

I left loom a few months ago but it’s definitely a user need that’s on their radar!

As long as I don’t have to send a loom of a take home whiteboard challenge, this style of interview would be great!

what if design interviews were like: i send you a loom of me walking through my case studies and you watch it async and come up with questions so our interview time is actually spent having a conversation

I can’t believe they’re still a thing. I once had a potential employer use my “interview test work” for a client. Still baffles me 10 years later.
