Has anyone here done one of these before?? I got an invitation for one for a bank job, and another from a make-up company. What was your experience like with them? Did you like it? Did you get the job?

Do you mean like over Skype or something?
I've never done one. I've done phone interviews, but only as an initial step.
I always try to make in person interviews rather than go by Skype, I just think it is more effective to be there in person and shake someone's hand. This did mean driving 12 hours round trip for my last one, but I got the job and am moving back home by family.
EDIT: Just read what a digital interview consists of. I've never even heard of that.
Apparently you record video responses to questions and there isn't even an interviewer!
Sounds like hell.

I've had one. They had a question then gave me 2 mins to come up with an answer before the camera started recording. It was different.
I got invited to a legit interview after but that's as far as I got in the process.

I got invited to do an interview like that. I declined it. I'm sure in the future these will be more prevalent. I find it troubling that I'm essentially auditioning for a company without and ability to ask my own questions.

I haven't had one personally but I've helped clients prepare for them (I'm an employment advisor). They're mainly used for graduate schemes here, but they're starting to become more common.
Usually there's a 'practice' option where you can record yourself doing a test clip and review what you look/sound like, so I would definitely recommend doing that. Also worth having some notes in front of you on questions that might come up/skills that you know are required for the position, so you can use them as a prompt if you freeze when you get a question.
Good luck!

Yup, I hated it. I got like 90 seconds between the question reveal and having to record my answer. No retakes. Absolutely sucked, and I never got a callback for a face to face.
