Update timeline

  1. investigating Sep 14, 2026, 03:51 PM UTC

    We are investigating an issue in our EU environment where some candidates are not prompted for camera and microphone access and are unable to complete device setup to begin their video interview. Our engineering team is actively engaged. The next update will be provided within one hour.

  2. investigating Sep 14, 2026, 04:59 PM UTC

    We are continuing to investigate an issue where some candidates are unable to complete device setup and therefore cannot begin their interview. We have now confirmed this is not limited to our EU environment — a subset of interviews in all regions is affected. Most platform functionality is unaffected, and candidates taking interviews that include recorded video or audio responses are not experiencing this issue. Our team has made progress in the investigation and is working to confirm the source of the issue before applying a fix. We will continue to provide updates hourly, or sooner if there is material change.

    We have identified the issue that is preventing some candidates from completing device setup and beginning their interview. Our team is actively working on a fix. This affects only job stages that do not include video or audio questions and also have candidate snapshots enabled. Job stages without candidate snapshots are unaffected, as are candidates taking interviews that include recorded video or audio questions. We will provide the next update by 1:00 PM MT, or sooner if there is material change.
