How the AI interview works

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

From setup to a human decision

The four stages run in order. The automation column names what AI can assist with; the human-review column names what stays a person’s responsibility.

Stage	Actor	Automation	Human review
1. Complete AI interview setup	Recruiting team	AI can help draft questions or criteria.	The recruiting team checks and saves a setup that fits.
2. The Candidate interacts with the AI interviewer	Candidate and AI interviewer	The AI interviewer runs the conversation from the available setup.	No hiring decision is made during the interaction.
3. AI analyzes the available results	AI and the interview-results system	AI helps analyze answers, conversation, and available signals.	The recruiting team checks the summary, evidence, and context.
4. A person makes the hiring decision	Recruiting team	The product presents available status, result signals, and evidence.	A person weighs evidence and context before recording the decision.

Read the flow as ordered 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.

What to keep in mind

• 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.
