Understanding your coaching feedback from Cara
What you’re seeing
After your interview, you may see short coaching videos linked to specific moments in your interview.
Each video is triggered by a coaching flag, highlighting a point where there was an opportunity to improve or go deeper.
These are designed to help you improve over time by showing:
What happened
Why it matters
What to do differently next time
What a coaching flag means
A coaching flag highlights a specific moment in your interview where Cara has identified an opportunity to strengthen your approach.
This could include things like:
Asking questions that aren’t directly job-related
Talking more than the candidate
Not fully exploring an answer
Moving away from your interview plan
It doesn’t mean something was “wrong”, just that there was a chance to improve or gather better evidence.
What the feedback videos cover
Each video is short (around 3 minutes) and focused on one specific behaviour.
You’ll typically see:
A simple explanation of what happened
Why does it impact interview quality
Practical tips you can apply immediately
For example:
“A helpful filter is: is this information needed to evaluate job performance? If not, it’s best to avoid the question.”
“Try to give the candidate more space to answer - that’s where the most useful detail comes through.”
How to use your feedback
You don’t need to act on everything at once.
A simple approach:
Pick one suggestion from a video
Apply it in your next interview
Build from there over time
Small improvements lead to much stronger interviews.
Who can see your coaching feedback
Your TA leader may be able to see whether feedback has been viewed or completed.
This is used to:
Support interviewer development
Identify where additional guidance may help
It’s intended to be supportive and developmental, not evaluative.
Important
Cara’s coaching is there to help you:
Stay focused on job-relevant questions
Gather stronger, more consistent evidence
Make more confident hiring decisions
You don’t need to be perfect, just aim to improve one step at a time.
