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.
