Video interviewing evolves, and a refresher on video interview tips can reveal overlooked areas to improve. Staying sharp ensures candidates always present their best professional self and build strong connections in each interview.
After all, mastering video interviews takes more than technical skills. Success requires professionalism, a strong rapport, and attention to the small details that often go overlooked. During this roundtable, the team explored these points through firsthand experience and candid stories from our years in hiring and candidate preparation. The focus remained practical: how small missteps, even after multiple good interviews, can undo weeks of effort and create a poor impression that leaves hiring managers unwilling to move forward.
Our team highlighted the essential elements that can make or break a candidate’s chance in a video interview. Dressing appropriately, maintaining eye contact, and choosing the right technology matter. A controlled environment, free from distractions and clutter, sends a professional signal before a word is spoken. The group emphasized lighting and camera placement as more than technical details. These shape how candidates appear and help build the sense of connection that interviewers expect.
We also discussed the importance of preparation—testing your software, practicing responses aloud, and managing nerves, especially for those who do not interview regularly. The team noted that active listening, clear communication, and genuine engagement help to bridge any distance video can create.

When candidates make interviewers feel valued and respected, it greatly increases their chances of building productive professional relationships.
