Thinking Time

Thinking time controls the gap between when a candidate finishes watching the question and when recording begins.

Options

ModeBehaviour

15 secondsA 15-second countdown appears before recording starts
1 minuteA 60-second countdown appears
1 min 30 secondsA 90-second countdown appears

Tips

  • Unlimited thinking time is best for roles where you want thoughtful, prepared answers (management, strategy)
  • Short thinking time (3–15 seconds) works well for roles that require quick thinking (sales, customer support)
  • The same thinking time applies to every question in the interview
