Remote Interview

Before you start, here are some tips for a seamless recording experience with Riverside:

Use a computer with a Chrome browser that’s

up-to-date.⁠

⁠

Check your internet stability. Ethernet cable connections are preferred over WiFi.

Use an external mic, if possible. Even the mic in your ear/headphones are better than nothing.

Use headphones/earphones to prevent echo and increase audio quality.

Close all other applications that don’t need to be open during the recording. This prevents CPU overload. Important: Please close all other programs that try to use your mic/camera.

Relax, have fun, be you. You’re awesome exactly the way you are, and you’re in this interview because we love the natural way you speak and operate

In Person Interview

Make sure to keep the microphone close; it’s an ‘eat the mic’ situation, if you’re too far away from the mic, the sound quality is impacted

Relax, have fun, be you. You’re awesome exactly the way you are, and you’re in this interview because we love the natural way you speak and operate

We typically need about 30min ahead of time to setup sound, lighting, and set prior to getting going

If we’re in your restaurant (which we love); we’ll try to be far enough away from the kitchen that the fridge compressors don’t add too much background noise, and in a perfect world, it’s great if you can turn them off for the hour, but we of course understand that can be a pain in the butt, so it’s absolutely not necessary if you can’t.
