Can I create an interview template and send invitations to candidates?

Yes. Use `create_interview` with a JSON payload containing the title, description, and an array of questions. Then use `send_interview_invitation` with the candidate's email, first name, last name, and the interview ID. The candidate will receive an email with a link to record their video responses.

Can I review all video responses submitted by candidates?

Yes. The `list_interview_responses` tool retrieves all submitted video responses with candidate details, interview template reference, and submission timestamps. Use `get_candidate_details` to inspect a specific candidate's full profile and response history.

How does asynchronous video interviewing work with HRBlade?

HRBlade enables one-way video interviews where candidates record responses at their own pace. You create a template with questions, send an invitation, and the candidate records video answers through a web link. You can then review all responses asynchronously without scheduling live calls. Use `list_interviews` to see all templates and `list_candidates` to track your pipeline.
