Do Graduate Recruitment sit in on interviews done virtually?

Hello.

I had an interview with a firm that usually has a member of graduate recruitment taking notes in the room when they do in person interviews. Due to covid my interview was online. The call was set up by a member of Grad Rec. Will they have silently been in the background/able to watch the interview?

They probably would have told you if this was the case either ahead of the interview or at the start. What platform was the interview on? If Zoom, you would have been able to see the total number of participants.
