Meetcolab

# Getting Started

MeetColab is a tool designed to make interviewing structured and streamlined. It provides functionality to define interview types, enable seamless scheduling, conduct interviews, and write detailed feedback for the interviews. The features can be used together or in isolation.

# Define Interview Types

MeetColab allows you to create your own interview types. Defining interview types with their specific goals is one of the key elements of structured interviewing. It comes by default with one interview type called Problem Solving and Coding. For each interview type, you can configure:

  1. When candidates can schedule the event
  2. What information candidates need to fill up while scheduling the event - name, email, phone number, etc.
  3. Provide information about the interview to the candidate while scheduling
  4. Define guidelines for interviewers on how to conduct the interview
  5. Define the feedback format for the interviews.

For more information on interview types, see interview types.

# Interview Conduction

If the interview has been scheduled using MeetColab, you will already find it in the Interviews tab. If not, you can create an interview using the "Create Interview" Button. You can provide the candidate's name and email and start conducting the interview. MeetColab provides a real-time collaborative code editor and a collaborative whiteboard for design interviews. You can write feedback notes while conducting the interview.

# Create new interview

There are two ways of creating an interview. One by allowing the candidate to schedule for an interview, see scheduling an interview and another by just manually creating one, see manually creating an interview.

# Start Codecolab

Once an interview is created, hop on to the codepair link via the orange "codepair" action. For information on the various components of codecolab, see here.

TIP

If the interview was manually created, send the candidate a link to the codecolab. You can get an invite link for the codepair but clicking the invite icon.

# Conduct the interview

Once the candidate has joined, its time to conduct the interview. Ideally, the procedure is to present a question, guide the candidate to the solution, asking various questions along the way. However this totally depends on the type of interview. Check conduction an interview.

# Feedback

Once the interview is complete, fill out the feedback form as per the requirement of the interview type. Read writing feedback.
