Requirements: AI Interviewer and coding interviews must be enabled
What's new: This feature introduces a dedicated Focus mode control in coding interviews that lets candidates temporarily pause AI follow-up questions while they think and code. This leads to more natural coding interviews, where candidates can get into a flow state without feeling interrupted by the AI.
How it works: When a candidate clicks Focus mode during a coding interview, the AI interviewer stops proactively speaking. The candidate then continues coding, running tests, or can ask for help when ready.
