This COVID19 pandemic made everything virtual and work from home and even the onboarding process too. During this time it's better to stay at home for our safety as well as our loved ones. To make the hiring process smooth all major companies came up with a solution of virtual interview/video interview/assessment based interviews which will help in evaluating the candidates based on their skill sets and problem-solving concept within the given time. After the initial assessment and coding interviews, the selected candidate will be put into the video interview round. The video interview can be two-sided or one-sided but you have to be conscious and should follow the DOs and DONT's of the video interview. Let us see what are the DON'Ts of a video interview which many people fail to follow and get rejected.
* Interruptions:
Try to avoid unwanted interruptions like your dog/cat hopping on you or trying to come in front of the camera while the interview is on, children peeping into the screen and checking what they are doing, interviewee asking permission to attend any phone calls or talk to their spouses.
* Unusual behavior
During the interview feels too comfortable in their chairs like they take interviews with some foods in their hands, playing some mobile games, or getting dressed for going out or a party.
* Location:
Try to take an interview call in a quiet, noiseless and clear background. Make sure that during the interview network should be clear and there are no breaks in the audio/video. If the background location is not good or if you are taking an interview in some outside place then try to use some backgrounds provided by the hosting software.
*Outfit:
Though it is a video interview are you are taking at your comfort place but try to be professional and tidy like how you go to interview at any company for face-to-face. Try to be in a formal or at least some casuals and a proper hairdo. Don't attend any interviews in your pajamas/night wears, shorts and t-shirts, or workout wears. And also your tone matters a lot. Try to have a conversation in an approachable and calm tone and don't try to be a boss or use an aggressive tone.
If the interview is one-sided then you will under an AI-based proctor where you need to follow few protocols.
What is web proctored assessment?

How AI proctoring helps companies in avoiding cheatings during assessments?
Below are the advantages of using Glider Technologie's AI proctor in avoiding cheating during the online assessments and hiring the most efficient and skillful employee.
* Detects suspicious behavior:
AI-based proctoring takes control of the screen by recording the movement and if there are any screen switches then it pops up a warning message. It also keeps track of eye movement as well as head movement. If anyone looks out of the screen or bends his head then it flags as a violation and the limits too are set for the number of violations. If a candidate uses any of the external devices like headphones or Bluetooth devices or any their sound will be tracked and the flag will be set. Before starting any assessments, the software itself detects the audio clarity, camera clearance, and noise in the room so that no external voice should come in the middle of the assessment.
* Unauthorized applications are not entertained:
Before taking up any proctor based assessments/online exams, the candidate has to close all his/her all application in their laptop/pc and if they want to open any application apart from the assessment then they have to close the online exam portal where they will lose an attempt to continue their exam and will be eliminated from the interview process. There shouldn't be any external device paired with the laptop/pc.

Glider's AI-based proctor monitors everything happening on the screen and even if there are screen switches. If it encounters any suspicious activity during the assessments, then a warning message will be popped up saying not to repeat.

Types of Online Proctoring
Proctoring solutions provide basic tools, applications, and programs that assist in monitoring students. Listed below are the four main categories of Online Proctoring:
Live Proctoring-
This type of proctoring replicates the setting of an actual exam. You are monitored in real-time by a live proctor through a webcam. Just like in a real classroom, the proctor continuously supervises the student to ensure a clean exam. Depending on the availability of the proctor, the testing session must be booked in advance.

Automated Proctoring–
The audio-video and screen share feeds of an ongoing online exam are monitored automatically through the software. The AI-based software is sophisticated enough to detect and flag any anomalies in the behavior or surroundings of the test taker.
