Asynchronous video interview system
Aspects of an asynchronous video interview system and related techniques include a server that receives a plurality of pre-recorded video prompts, generates an interview script, transmits a video prompt from the interview script to be displayed at a client computing device, and receives a streamed video response from the client computing device. The server can perform algorithmic analysis on content of the video response. In another aspect, a server obtains response preference data indicating a timing parameter for a response. In another aspect, a video prompt and an information supplement (e.g., a news item) that relates to the content of the video prompt are transmitted. In another aspect, a server automatically selects a video prompt (e.g., a follow-up question) to be displayed at the client computing device (e.g., based on a response or information about an interviewee).
1. A computer-implemented method for conducting a video interview, the method comprising:
by a server, performing analysis of a video response recorded at a client computing device in an asynchronous video interview, wherein the analysis comprises determining a time duration of the video response; and
by the server, based on the time duration of the video response, automatically selecting a video prompt to be displayed at the client computing device as part of the asynchronous video interview.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a video prompt to be displayed as part of an asynchronous video interview in an interviewee user interface presented at a client computing device; and
transmitting an information supplement as part of the asynchronous video interview to be presented at the client computing device, wherein the information supplement relates to content of the video prompt;
wherein the video response is responsive to the video prompt and responsive to the information supplement.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information supplement comprises an information form, the method further comprising receiving data corresponding to user input in the information form.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information supplement comprises at least one of a news item and a document.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analysis further comprises analysis of keywords or a text transcript of the video response.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value, wherein the time duration is less than the threshold value, and wherein the automatically selected video prompt relates to a previous video prompt.
8. A server computing device configured to conduct a video interview by performing actions comprising:
performing analysis of a video response recorded at a client computing device in an asynchronous video interview, wherein the analysis comprises determining a time duration of the video response; and
based on the time duration of the video response, automatically selecting a video prompt to be displayed at the client computing device as part of the asynchronous video interview.
9. The server computing device of claim 8 , wherein the actions further comprise comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value.
10. The server computing device of claim 8 , wherein the analysis further comprises analysis of keywords or a text transcript of the video response.
11. The server computing device of claim 8 , wherein the actions further comprise comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value, wherein the time duration is less than the threshold value, and wherein the automatically selected video prompt relates to a previous video prompt.
12. The server computing device of claim 8 , wherein the actions further comprise:
transmitting a video prompt to be displayed as part of an asynchronous video interview in an interviewee user interface presented at a client computing device; and
transmitting an information supplement as part of the asynchronous video interview to be presented at the client computing device, wherein the information supplement relates to content of the video prompt;
wherein the video response is responsive to the video prompt and responsive to the information supplement.
13. The server computing device of claim 12 , wherein the information supplement comprises an information form, the actions further comprising receiving data corresponding to user input in the information form.
14. The server computing device of claim 12 , wherein the information supplement comprises at least one of a news item and a document.
15. A nontransitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform actions for conducting a video interview, the actions comprising:
performing analysis of a video response recorded at a client computing device in an asynchronous video interview, wherein the analysis comprises determining a time duration of the video response; and
based on the time duration of the video response, automatically selecting a video prompt to be displayed at the client computing device as part of the asynchronous video interview.
16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the actions further comprise comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value.
17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the analysis further comprises analysis of keywords or a text transcript of the video response.
18. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the actions further comprise comparing the time duration of the video response with a threshold value, wherein the time duration is less than the threshold value, and wherein the automatically selected video prompt relates to a previous video prompt.
19. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the actions further comprise:
transmitting a video prompt to be displayed as part of an asynchronous video interview in an interviewee user interface presented at a client computing device; and
transmitting an information supplement as part of the asynchronous video interview to be presented at the client computing device, wherein the information supplement relates to content of the video prompt and comprises at least one of a news item, a document, and an information form;
wherein the video response is responsive to the video prompt and responsive to the information supplement.
20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the information supplement comprises an information form, the actions further comprising receiving data corresponding to user input in the information form.
