Run technical interviews in a shared session

Skip the screen-share friction. Invite candidates into a YappJam room as guests — they don't sign up, they don't pay, and you keep the artefact. Your panel watches, the AI assists, and everyone leaves with a clear record.

Start an Interview Room

Zero Setup for the Candidate

Send a room code. The candidate joins from any browser — no install, no card, no plan. They land in a working environment with an editor, an AI assistant, and a live preview. You spend the first ten minutes interviewing, not troubleshooting screen-share.

Watch the Candidate Think

Everyone in the room sees the same workspace in real time — every prompt, every keystroke, every preview reload. The panel can join silently or chime in. The AI is the candidate's pair, not a crutch — you see exactly how they steer it.

Same Tools, Same Stack

Every candidate gets the same starting point: same repo, same model, same time-box. The room is owner-billed, so you control the AI budget; guests can't accidentally rack up costs. Up to ten people in the room — interviewer, candidate, and the rest of the panel observing.

Decision-Ready Notes

When the session ends, you have a full transcript and the resulting code in a branch you can push to GitHub. No 'wait, what did they actually build?' — the artefact is right there. Score it on your rubric and move on.

FAQ

Does the candidate need an account?

They sign in (we still need to know who they are), but they don't need a paid plan. They join your room as a guest with the room code.

Who pays for the AI usage during the interview?

The room owner — you. Guests never pay. You can see exactly what the AI cost on your dashboard after the interview.

Can the rest of the hiring panel observe?

Yes. Up to ten people can be in a room. Anyone with the code joins as a guest; the panel can watch silently or chime in.
