Session setup
Setting up a session takes the candidate’s name, an optional email, a title, the languages allowed and an ordered list of questions from your bank.

Why session setup matters in a coding interview
Setting up a coding interview should take a minute, not a configuration wizard. Interviewers need the candidate, the languages and the plan, and the freedom to change the plan once the conversation starts.
// how it works
How does session setup work?
Enter the candidate
The candidate’s name, an optional email for your records, and a session title (default “Technical interview”).
Choose languages
Allow Python 3.12, Java 21 or both. The first one is where every question starts.
Pick questions in order
Pick from your bank, reorder with up and down, or remove. You can also skip this and add questions during the interview.
Create the session
You land in the live room, ready to copy the candidate link.
// options and settings
Every option, in one place
// permissions
Who can do what?
Company admins decide who on your team can open the interviewer console. Candidates never sign in; they only ever use their session link.

How session setup fits with the rest
Private candidate links
Each session has a private candidate link that the interviewer copies in one click, can close to end the candidate’s access instantly, and can reopen later.
Explore →Multi-question interviews
One session can hold several questions: the interviewer switches the question on screen for both people with one click and can add a bank or blank question mid-interview.
Explore →Coding question bank
Autessa Technical Interviews includes a technical interview question bank where your team stores every coding question with its difficulty, tags and notes, searchable by title or tag.

Session setup: questions
How do I send the link to the candidate?
Copy the link and send it however you already talk to the candidate. The email field keeps the address on your records.
Do I have to pick questions in advance?
No. You can create an empty session and add questions from the room during the interview.
Can a session allow only Java?
Yes. Choose any combination of the two languages, with at least one.
100% customizable, code and all
Make Autessa Technical Interviews fully your own.
Use it out of the box, then change anything. Ask Autobot, Autessa’s AI builder, for a new field, screen, report, workflow or agent and it builds it into your copy of the app. Or open the code and edit it yourself. Nothing is locked: the app, its data and its code are yours.
