The new reviewer layout puts everything you need to review a response on one screen: the question list, the video, an AI summary and your scoring. This article walks you through moving between questions, scoring each answer and leaving comments. ### Navigating between questions Open an applicant's response and select the **Questions** tab. Every question in the interview is listed down the left-hand side, numbered Q1, Q2 and so on, with the one you're viewing highlighted. 1. Click any question in the list to jump straight to it. You don't have to review in order. 2. Or use the buttons at the bottom of the page: **Next question** and **Previous question** move you through the interview one answer at a time. 3. On the final question, **Back to summary** takes you to the Summary tab, where you can see your overall score and submit your review. Each question in the list shows a status tag, **Not rated** or **Rated**, so you can see at a glance which answers you still need to score. The header above the question also shows where you are, for example *Question 1 of 2*. For each answer you'll see: - **The video response**, with volume, playback speed (0.5x to 3x), captions (CC) and full-screen controls. - **Summary** and **Highlights**, an AI-generated overview of what the applicant said. - **View transcript**, which opens the full written transcript with a **Copy transcript** button. Automated transcriptions may contain errors, so always check against the video. - **Flags**, such as *Likely scripted*, shown under the question and as a flag icon in the question list. Hover over either to see why the answer was flagged. ### Applying scores Scroll below the video to the **Your rating** panel. Each question is scored against one or more criteria (for example *Language Proficiency* and *Motivation*), each on a 0 to 5 scale. 1. Click **Scoring guide** under a criterion to see what each score means. You can also hover over a score button to see its guidance. 2. Click a number to score that criterion. The selected score is highlighted in green. 3. Repeat for each criterion on the question. Scores save automatically. You'll see *Saving…* then *Saved* in the top-right of the panel, and the question's tag in the list changes from **Not rated** to **Rated**. To change a score, just click a different number. Your scores add up into an **Overall score** on the Summary tab, with a breakdown per question (for example *7 / 10*). Your review is submitted automatically when you complete the rubric for the last answer. If you've only scored some questions, you can still submit a partly rated review using **Submit review** on the Summary tab. ### Adding comments Comments let you note your thoughts on an applicant and share them with other reviewers on the job. 1. Click the **Comments** icon (the two speech bubbles) in the toolbar at the top-right of the page. 2. The **Application details** panel opens on the **Comments** tab, showing any existing comments. 3. Type your note in the **Leave a reply** box and click **Submit**. 4. Close the panel with the **X** to return to the response. Comments are added at applicant level rather than against a single question, so it's worth mentioning the question number if your note is about a specific answer. ### Tips - **Switch applicants without going back.** Use the applicant name dropdown under the interview title to move to the next person. - **See all your scores in one place.** Click the **?** icon in the toolbar to open a list of every question with its current score. - **Speed up playback.** Use the speed control on the video (up to 3x) to get through longer answers quickly. - **Need help?** Contact your account manager or our support team via the help icon in the left-hand menu. - [I'm a Participant](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to prepare](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#how-to-prepare) - [Camera](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#camera) - [Internet Connection](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#internet-connection) - [Microphone](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#microphone) - [I've started my interview](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#ive-started-my-interview) - [I've completed my interview](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#ive-completed-my-interview) - [FAQ](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#faq) - [Tips](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#tips) - [I'm an Account Holder](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating Interviews](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#creating-interviews) - [Adding & Managing Interviewees](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#adding-managing-interviewees) - [Additional Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#additional-guides) - [Reviewing Interviews](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#reviewing-interviews) - [Platform Updates & Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Platform Updates](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#platform-updates) - [Platform Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#platform-guides) - [I'm a Reviewer](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-reviewer?hsLang=en) [![shortlister-logo-colour.svg](https://4019327.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4019327/shortlister-logo-colour.svg "shortlister-logo-colour.svg")](http://shortlister.com) shortlister.com Help Centre Copyright © 2026, Shortlister Solutions Ltd
