Technical interview invitation¶
When a hiring team wants to know more after your application, they may invite you to a second stage technical interview on Risenoow. It is a spoken conversation with an AI interviewer about the work itself, held at a time that suits you. The invitation arrives by email, and its link opens a page that explains what happens, in order.
Where: The invitation email, then the invitation page its link opens
Who receives it: Applicants the hiring team invites
Time needed: The page shows the length, for example about 25 minutes
The invitation email¶
The subject reads "Your technical interview for" the role. The email says which company is inviting you, roughly how long the interview takes, whether your camera is needed, and either the date to complete it by or that you can pick a time.
Select Open your interview or Pick your time. If the button does not work, the email also shows the link to copy into your browser.
Keep the email
Your interview link lives only in this email. Signing in to your portal shows the invitation, but you start the interview from the email link.
