# Interviewer FAQs - Drive management

## Introduction

The **Drive Management module** in **Talview Workflow Tools** helps interviewers efficiently participate in large-scale or on-site hiring events, known as **Drives**.

As an interviewer, you can view your schedule, join interviews, mark attendance, and complete evaluations - all from one interface.

This FAQ covers everything you need to know about managing your activities within a drive, including how to view your interviews, handle no-shows, update availability, and complete post-interview actions.

***

## 1. Drive Assignments & Scheduling

**Q1. How will I know if I’m added or removed from a drive?**

When you’re added to a drive, you’ll receive an **email notification** containing the drive name, date, and your assigned slots.

If you’re removed, you’ll receive a **removal confirmation**.

Once removed, you’ll stop receiving all future updates and notifications related to that drive.

**Q2. How do I update my availability if I can’t attend a scheduled drive?**

If you’re unable to attend the drive or specific time slots:

* Inform your **Recruiter** or **Drive Coordinator** as soon as possible.
* They can reassign your slots to another interviewer.

  If you have partial availability, communicate your preferred time window so the schedule can be adjusted accordingly.

**Q3. Where can I see all my scheduled interviews in a drive?**

You can view your assigned interviews under the **Interviews** or **My Schedule** tab within the drive.

Each entry displays:

* Candidate name
* Interview time and mode (in-person or virtual)
* Assigned room or link
* Status (Scheduled, Completed, No-Show)

Use filters to sort by **status**, **candidate**, or **time** for easier navigation.

**Q4. Can I see candidate profiles before the interview starts?**

Candidates are assigned dynamically based on their wait times. Hence, showing the profiles beforehand is not possible.

**Q5. Can I join an interview directly from the drive?**

Yes. Once the drive starts, the **Join** button becomes active next to each assigned interview slot.

Click **Join** to start the session from within the Drive Dashboard.

Ensure your **camera, microphone, and browser permissions** are enabled before joining.

**Q6. What should I do if I need a short break during back-to-back drive interviews?**

If you need a short break:

* Inform the **Drive Coordinator** or **Recruiter** so they can pause or adjust the candidate flow.
* Simply click **Join** again when you’re ready for the next interview.

  Avoid leaving sessions unattended, as it may delay subsequent interviews.

**Q7. What happens if I accidentally miss joining a drive interview?**

If you miss an interview slot:

* Notify your **Recruiter** immediately so they can reassign the candidate or reschedule the session.

  Repeated missed joins may impact scheduling in future drives.

**Q8. What should I do if a candidate doesn’t join on time?**

If a candidate hasn’t joined within **5 minutes** of the scheduled start time:

* You can **end the session** and return to your drive dashboard.
* The system will automatically mark the candidate as a **No-Show** and notify the recruiter.

  You can then proceed to your next assigned slot.

**Q9. Who gets notified if a candidate or interviewer is a no-show?**

If a **candidate** is marked as a no-show, the recruiter receives an automated notification.

If an **interviewer** doesn’t join, the recruiter is alerted, and a **backup interviewer** may be assigned.

Both scenarios are tracked in the **Drive Insights Dashboard** for visibility.

## 2. Evaluation & Feedback

**Q10. Will I automatically be added as an evaluator for candidates I interview?**

Yes. Once you complete an interview, you are automatically assigned as the **evaluator** for that candidate.

You’ll receive an **evaluation form link** via email and can also access it under the **Evaluations** tab in Workflow Tools.

**Q11. Can I update my evaluation after submitting it in the drive?**

Editing permissions depend on your organization’s settings.

If allowed:

* Navigate to the candidate’s evaluation and click **Edit Evaluation** to update your feedback.

  Otherwise, contact your **Recruiter** to reopen your evaluation form.

**Q12. What’s the deadline for submitting my evaluations in a drive?**

Submit your evaluations **within 24 hours** of completing the interview.

Timely submission ensures smooth candidate progression and accurate reporting for drive analytics.

**Q13. Can I view my interview history for completed drives?**

Yes. Go to the **Interviews** section under your interviewer dashboard.

Here, you can view:

* Previously completed interviews in the drive
* Candidate names
* Evaluation status (Submitted/Pending)
* Session outcomes (Attended/No-Show)

  This provides a record of your participation and feedback.

## **3. Notifications & Communication**

**Q14. Do I continue to receive notifications after being removed from a drive?**

No. Once removed from a drive, you’ll stop receiving all related notifications, reminders, and updates.

However, your previous interviews and evaluations remain visible in your completed drive records.

**Q15. Will I get reminders for my upcoming interviews during a drive?**

Currently, **no automated reminders** are sent for drive interviews.

Please monitor your **Drive Dashboard** or **calendar invite** to stay updated on upcoming sessions.

**Q16. Can I communicate directly with the recruiter or coordinator during a drive?**

Yes. You can contact the recruiter via **email** or **internal chat** as per your organization’s communication process.

For urgent updates (like a no-show or technical issue), use the **Notify Recruiter** or **Report Issue** option in the drive interface (if available).

## **4. Technical & Access Support**

**Q17. What should I do if I face technical issues during a drive interview?**

If you experience connectivity, audio, or video issues:

* Refresh or rejoin using the same **Join Interview** link.
* Use **Google Chrome** or **Microsoft Edge** for best performance.
* Check that your **camera/mic permissions** are enabled.

  If the problem continues, contact **Talview Support** via the **Help** option, and notify your recruiter.

**Q18. Can I access drive details or join interviews from my mobile device?**

Yes, but desktop or laptop access is recommended for stability.

If joining from a mobile browser:

* Ensure your **camera and microphone** permissions are allowed.
* Maintain a stable network connection.

  Some advanced features (like editing evaluations) may not be supported on mobile.
