Conduct an interview
Who's this for: Anyone interviewing candidates
Gong records candidate interviews to help your team hire top talent, with the opportunity for reviewing interviews and aligning across the hiring team.
Interviews conducted over web conferencing system are processed and analyzed. The analysis includes insights and transcripts, all of which you can find in Gong alongside the call. You'll be emailed when the call is ready to access in Gong. Collaborate with the hiring team by adding comments, tagging people, and sharing the call with stakeholders.
As an interviewer, you can:
Once scheduled, the interview appears in your calendar with a link to the ATS and a web conferencing URL.
-
To join the call, simply click the link in your calendar event.
The candidate will join the call in the same way.
Gong will record the call in one of two ways:
-
If your company is set up for native Zoom recording, Zoom will record your call, and Gong will retrieve it when the call is complete.
-
Otherwise, a third participant known as the Gong recorder (also known as Gong bot) will join the call.
By default, an audio prompt will play when each participant joins the call to let them know the call is being recorded.
-
As the interview host, you can stop recording at any time during the interview, in one of the following ways:
-
From within Gong
-
By removing the Gong bot (when Gong joins as a participant and records the call)
-
By pausing or stopping when recording with native Zoom recording
Note
If you didn’t stop the recording, you can still remove it from Gong by asking an admin to delete it. Go here to learn how to delete recorded calls. If you want to keep the recording but want to control access to it, set the call as private.
