Asynchronous video interview system

Abstract

Aspects of an asynchronous video interview system and related techniques include a server that receives a plurality of pre-recorded video prompts, generates an interview script, transmits a video prompt from the interview script to be displayed at a client computing device, and receives a streamed video response from the client computing device. The server can perform algorithmic analysis on content of the video response. In another aspect, a server obtains response preference data indicating a timing parameter for a response. In another aspect, a video prompt and an information supplement (e.g., a news item) that relates to the content of the video prompt are transmitted. In another aspect, a server automatically selects a video prompt (e.g., a follow-up question) to be displayed at the client computing device (e.g., based on a response or information about an interviewee).
