## Overview

Once you've added a job, it's time to create the video interview. Every interview follows the same structure: an optional intro, one or more questions, and an optional outro.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add an introduction (optional)">
    Introduce yourself and let candidates know what to expect, it helps them feel more comfortable before they start.

    What the candidate sees depends on whether you add an intro video:

    * **With an intro video**, candidates see a window with your video before they start. This is recommended as it builds employer brand and puts candidates at ease.

          </Frame>

    * **Without an intro video**, candidates just see the job title, the number of questions, and the **Start Interview** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your questions">
    Add at least **1 question** — there's no upper limit. Each question has:

    * A **Question Title** (up to 40 characters)
    * A **Question Description** (up to 1200 characters)

    <Tip>
      Click **Add video** on a question to record yourself asking it — this feels more personal and gives candidates extra context. Already have a recorded question? Drag and drop it straight into the question. If a candidate is still unsure how to answer, they can fall back on the question description for more detail.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an outro (optional)">
    Record an outro video to thank candidates for their time and let them know the interview is complete.
  </Step>
</Steps>
