Last year, Microsoft unveiledSkype Interviews, a browser-based tool for recruiters that comes with areal-time code editor for coding interviews. After listening to user feedback, the company is expanding the set of interactive tools with the addition of a digital whiteboard shared between the interviewer and candidate.

“The real-time digital whiteboard makes interviews overall a more collaborative experience—one where the participants will able to visualize their thoughts and ideas, and read back key takeaways after the fact,” the Skype team explained. When using Skype Interviews, the new digital whiteboard will be accessible from the sidebar. It comes with a Pencil and various Shape tools, and recruiters can also save a copy of the whiteboard at the end of the interview.

“Our goal to make Skype Interviews the universally accepted tool for all video call interviews—regardless of distance, technical, or non-technical—pushed us to innovate further,” the Skype team said today. Skype Interviews remains in preview for now, and calling capabilities are still only supported on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
