Asynchronous interview
In short
An asynchronous interview is a hiring step where you record video or written answers to set questions on your own time, instead of talking live with an interviewer.
Remote-first companies use async interviews — often through a one-way video tool — to screen candidates across timezones without scheduling a live call for every applicant. You typically get a time limit per question and one attempt, so prepare concise answers and test your camera and microphone beforehand.
