How the AI interview works

MODE · CONCEPTBuild a mental model before following the steps.

Use this page to see who does what and where human review is required.

An AI interview connects the recruiting team’s reviewed setup, a Candidate’s conversation with the AI interviewer, automated analysis, and a human decision. Each stage has a different actor and responsibility boundary.

Read the flow as text
  1. The recruiting team prepares and checks the AI interview setup.
  2. The Candidate completes the interaction with the AI interviewer.
  3. AI helps analyze the answers and available signals.
  4. The recruiting team reviews evidence and makes the hiring decision.
  • AI helps run the process: drafting, conversation, and analysis are the parts automation can assist with.
  • People check context: setup, supporting evidence, and results need to be read in the context of the job.
  • People decide: an automated score or recommendation is a signal to review, not an automated hiring decision.

Start with the recruiting-team quickstart to follow the steps, then use the AI interview setup reference when you need to check fields, capabilities, and statuses.
