Search our library of hundreds of questions, add your own, or use our AI-generated guides.

Using AI recruiting tools and automated questions allows you to train your team members to become better interviewers while structuring the process at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can interview intelligence transform your hiring process?

Interview intelligence can transform your hiring process in a variety of ways, including:

-The need to hire faster: A long time-to-hire not only raises the cost of hiring, but it can also cause you to lose top candidates. Many job seekers lose interest in a job if the hiring process is too lengthy.

-Losing candidates to competitors: Candidates have a much better experience when they aren’t being asked the same questions over and over again. They also feel much more connected to the hiring team because each interviewer is prepared, leading to a huge increase in candidate acceptance rates.

-Hiring with certainty: Bad hires are a multi-billion dollar problem for companies. Before making a hiring decision, hiring managers are able to compare candidates back-to-back by specific skills.

How do structured interviews help with feedback?

Trying to get valuable feedback from interviewers is like pulling teeth. After an interview, candidates may have to chase down interviewers for feedback days later. And when interviewers provide feedback, it’s often a few unhelpful bullet points of information. With interview intelligence, hiring managers receive immediate feedback from interviewers through live, in-interview feedback reactions. This mitigates the need to chase down interviewers and verifies the feedback provided is actually beneficial to making a hiring decision.

How do structured interviews help with bias?

Interviews are filled with bias, and when you can’t see into each interview, there’s no way to catch bias in the hiring process. Having the ability to re-watch interviews provides fewer guesses on why diversity targets are being missed and leads to more data-driven hiring decisions. Structured interviews also provide HR representatives with appropriate, work-related questions to ask about the candidate's skills and experience.

How do structured interviews improve the candidate experience?

Oftentimes, interviewers show up to interviews unprepared and don’t know what questions to ask, or they don’t stick to the interview question plan. By using an interview intelligence platform that integrates with your video conferencing tool, every interviewer receives a guided list of skills-based questions, making it much easier for them to stay consistent with every interview. The question guide reduces the risk of bad interviews and leads to a better experience for the candidate.
