06 / FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do candidates need to install anything?
No. The interview runs in the browser and needs a microphone, nothing else. No camera and no download. Candidates sign in with the email address you invited, so the link can’t be used by someone else.
How does scoring work?
Each answer is scored against the rubric you wrote for that question. You get a 0–10 score and a note per question, an overall score, strengths, areas for growth and a recommendation. You can re-score any attempt later.
Does the AI make the hiring decision?
No. HireUp gives you a recommendation and the evidence behind it: scores, notes and the full transcript. The decision stays with your team.
Can a candidate retry?
Yes. Reset an attempt from the interview page and the same link works again. You can also delete an invite entirely.
How long can an interview be?
Set a time limit from 5 to 60 minutes, with up to 10 questions per interview. The link expires on the date you choose.
What roles does it work for?
Any role where you can write questions and a rubric for spoken answers. Start from the built-in frontend, backend or full-stack templates, or write your own from scratch.
How many candidates can I invite at once?
Up to 50 email addresses per batch. Paste them one per line or separated by commas.
