Speed Up or Slow Down Spotify Playback While screening candidates

💡 Overview

Spoken content rarely suits normal speed. Resumes, an ATS and interview calendars crowd your day.

Playback rate runs from 0.5x to 2.0x, with presets at 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2.0x. The extension locks the rate so it persists as tracks change, rather than snapping back to normal every time a new item starts. That matters for podcasts and audiobooks, and can be fun for slowing music down to learn a part.

🧭 A Day of Recruiters

Resumes, an ATS and interview calendars crowd your day.

The problem: Music has to stop for every screening call, then start again afterwards.

The fix: Use play/pause as your call start and end ritual with one repeatable shortcut.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

1. Open the popup and pick a speed preset.
2. Choose 1.25x or 1.5x for podcasts, or 0.5x to study a passage slowly.
3. Return to 1.0x with one tap when you want normal speed.
