Integrating with Astronaut

Astronaut is a robust video interview platform that helps you create simple, fast and effective Q&A sessions for your candidates. Astronaut will ensure you achieve high engagement levels, avoid phone screening and screening candidates based on their CV only.

The Astronaut candidate-facing interface can be set either in English or Indonesian.

Through this integration, you can send the request for an Astronaut video interview or Q&A assessment directly through Workable. After the candidate completes the interview, you’ll receive a notification and you and your team will be able to view the video directly from the candidate’s profile in Workable.
