First interviews are often the same questions asked again and again. AI interviews let candidates answer your questions in writing, in their own time, and give you a scored summary when they finish, so you spend your interview time with the strongest people.
An AI interview is a written conversation in the candidate's browser. There is no video or audio.
Before you start
- AI interviews are on the Professional and Enterprise plans and use AI credits.
- Switch them on in Settings, under AI.
Write the questions
-
Open the job's interview questions
Open the job and go to its interview questions.
-
Generate or write them
Generate a set of questions from the job description, add questions from a template, or write your own. Each question can have the criteria a good answer should meet.
-
Edit and order them
Edit any question, remove the ones you do not want and drag them into order. Every candidate for the job gets the same questions, so it is fair.
Invite a candidate
From the job's AI interviews, choose the candidate, set how many days they have to complete it and roughly how long it should take, then send the invitation. They receive an email with a link to take the interview in their browser.
What the candidate does
The interview presents your questions one at a time and the candidate types their answers. They can pause and come back, and complete it any time before the deadline.
Read the results
When the candidate finishes, the interview is evaluated and you see an overall score, a score and feedback for each answer, a communication score, a summary and a recommendation. Use it to decide who to meet next. The decision is always yours.
Keep track. Each interview shows whether it is pending, in progress, completed, expired or cancelled. Copy the link if a candidate has lost the email, or cancel an interview that is no longer needed.
