Find them in **Settings** > **Interview Settings**. ### Phone Collection Toggle whether to collect phone numbers from candidates. * **Enabled**: Candidates must provide a phone number before starting * **Disabled**: Phone number is optional or not collected ### Consent Screen Show candidates a consent message before their interview: * **Enabled**: Candidates see and must accept the consent text * **Disabled**: Interview starts without a consent step Default consent text covers recording and sharing with the hiring organization. You can customize this text to match your requirements. ### Pronunciation Dictionary Add custom pronunciations for words the AI might mispronounce: * Company names * Product names * Technical terminology * People's names mentioned in interviews This ensures a professional experience for candidates. ### Additional AI Instructions Add global instructions that guide AI behavior across all interviews: ``` Examples: - "Always maintain a professional but warm tone" - "If candidates ask about salary, say it will be discussed in later rounds" - "Emphasize our commitment to work-life balance when relevant" ``` ## Per-Interview Settings Override global settings for specific interview flows in the flow's **Settings** tab. ### Introduction & Outro Customize what the AI says: * **Introduction**: Opening message to welcome candidates * **Outro**: Closing message after the interview ends Both support up to 5,000 characters. Leave blank to use your global defaults. ### Preamble Video Upload a video that plays before the interview: * Introduce your team * Show your office or culture * Set expectations Toggle to enable or disable per flow. ### Document Upload Allow candidates to upload documents: * **Enable document upload**: Let candidates attach files * **Resume required**: Make resume upload mandatory Useful for collecting resumes, portfolios, or other materials. ### Feedback Collection Let candidates provide feedback on their interview experience: * **Enabled**: Candidates see a feedback prompt after completing * **Disabled**: Interview ends without feedback request ### Retry Settings Control whether candidates can retry their interview: * **Allow retries**: Candidates can attempt the interview multiple times * **Disable retries**: One attempt only If retries are allowed, you can set a maximum number. ### Redirect URL Send candidates to a specific URL after completing their interview: * Your careers page * A "thank you" page * A next steps page Leave blank for Ribbon's default completion screen. ### Webhooks Configure webhooks at the interview level to override organization defaults: * **Webhook URL**: Where to send event notifications * **Secret Key**: For verifying webhook signatures See the [Webhooks documentation](/docs/webhooks) for payload details. ## Settings Priority Per-interview settings override global settings: 1. Check if interview flow has a custom setting 2. If not, use the global default 3. If no global default, use Ribbon's system default This lets you set sensible defaults while customizing specific flows as needed. ## Tips * **Start with globals**: Set up organization defaults first * **Override sparingly**: Only customize individual flows when needed * **Document your settings**: Note why specific flows have custom settings * **Review periodically**: Audit settings as your process evolves
