Flo is widely used by law schools and law firms to manage virtual interviews and recruiting events.
Flo handles scheduling, candidate management, and interview logistics. Interviews take place on video powered by Zoom — hosted on Flo’s own Zoom account and embedded directly in the Flo interview page.
To ensure a seamless interview experience, we recommend reviewing the following IT requirements before your event.
What Flo Does Not Require
No software to install on firm devices.
No Zoom license or Zoom account for your firm, and no changes to your Zoom tenant.
No administrator consent and no browser extension.
Interviewers use Flo, never Zoom.
Browser & Device Requirements
Please ensure that:
Interviewers join from a link emailed to them. The interview opens in their web browser on the Flo page — there is nothing to download, install, or sign in to.
Google Chrome is recommended. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Cameras, microphones, and speakers are enabled and working, and the browser is allowed to request camera and microphone access on florecruit.com.
The browser is permitted to display embedded content from zoom.us, which is how the interview window is delivered.
Note: If an interviewer experiences trouble in the browser, they can move that call to the Zoom desktop app from the meeting’s own “Copy invite link” menu. This is intended as a fallback for an individual interviewer experiencing an issue and is not the expected way to join an interview. IT does not need to prepare devices for this option.
Firewall & Network Configuration
If your organization restricts outbound traffic, your IT team should ensure the following are permitted:
Allow | Why |
florecruit.com | The Flo application itself, including the interview page. |
source.zoom.us | The interview window loads from here when the page opens. If this is blocked, the interview will not start. |
*.zoom.us and Zoom’s published IP ranges | Audio and video. Prefer domain rules over fixed IP lists. |
Outbound TCP 443 and UDP 8801–8810 | UDP carries the audio and video. It is often closed by default. |
Please also make sure Zoom traffic is excluded from SSL/TLS inspection and deep packet inspection — Zscaler, Netskope, and Palo Alto all need Zoom on their bypass list — and that it is not routed back through a central proxy.
For complete requirements, see Zoom’s official network firewall guide:
We also recommend allowing camera and microphone access for florecruit.com and confirming that interviewers can open their Flo interview link from their browser.
Test Your Setup
[Book a test call with us here] after following the steps above.
To ensure that your organization can use Flo's video conferencing smoothly, we recommend completing the test with at least two members of your organization:
One member accessing Flo from the office
One member accessing Flo from a remote environment
This test will be facilitated by a Flo team member.
Email Communications
Whitelist the email domains:
@floevents.email
@florecruitnotifications.com
We use these domains exclusively for important email notifications, such as links to video chat portals and last-minute schedule changes.
To allow emails to be received from Flo, whitelist the following IP address:
149.72.33.196
Our connecting hostname (reverse-DNS/PTR on the above IP) is:
o1.ptr1593.floevents.email

Working Over VPN
Video traffic that is forced through a corporate VPN is the most common cause of poor call quality. The recommended fix is for your IT team to split-tunnel Zoom traffic so audio and video travel directly rather than through the VPN concentrator.
If an interviewer is having trouble mid-call and IT support isn’t immediately available, disconnecting from the VPN for the duration of the interview usually resolves it. The guide below walks through that.
