Setting Allowed Takes (Retakes)
Explain what Allowed Takes is and how to set how many times a candidate can re-record or retry a response.
What is Allowed Takes?
Allowed Takes controls how many times a candidate can re-record or retry their response to a question.
How to Set Allowed Takes

When you create a new question or edit an existing one, open the question settings for that question.
Find Allowed Takes
Locate the Allowed Takes field.
Enter a value from 0 to 3
Set the number of allowed takes to a value between 0 and 3.
Setting Options
-
0 Takes — The candidate gets no retakes. They must answer correctly on the first attempt, and re-recording is not allowed.
-
1 Take — The candidate can try one time only.
-
2 Takes — The candidate gets two attempts and can re-record once if they want to improve.
-
3 Takes — The candidate gets the most retakes and can make up to three attempts to perfect their response.
Best Practices
-
0 takes — Use for critical questions or screening.
-
1-2 takes — Use this range for most interviews.
-
3 takes — Use for important or complex questions.
-
More takes improve candidate experience.
-
Fewer takes create a stricter assessment.
Use fewer takes when you want a more controlled assessment, and more takes when candidate comfort matters more than strict scoring.
