What is interview intelligence?

Interview intelligence is a complete transformation of the hiring process. By automatically recording and transcribing interviews, and creating a set of highlights that can be revisited and shared, interview intelligence unlocks valuable data from every interview conversation and brings that information to the center of important hiring decisions. The resulting experience is faster, more insightful, and less biased.

This data-driven step change in hiring is especially impactful for companies who are scaling quickly and looking to embrace modern hiring practices. Hiring teams can use Interview Intelligence to better determine what “great” sounds like, retain important context from candidate conversations, share interviews across teams, and better understand which interview inputs lead to better hiring outcomes.

Interview Intelligence also creates an unparalleled experience for candidates, who appreciate less distracted interviewers, increased objectivity, and faster interview cycles.

Interview Intelligence doesn’t offload important hiring decisions to AI, but it uses AI technology to uplevel the interview experience and help hiring teams be more collaborative and objective.

Why is hiring broken?

Hiring is one of the biggest investments a company makes. But for years, hiring decisions have been made based on rough notes, fuzzy memories, and subjectivity.

The truth is the way we hire is broken. To win the best talent, you must bring your hiring process up to today’s standards. That’s where interview intelligence comes in.

Interview intelligence is the new way of hiring. It unlocks valuable interview data and insights that allows teams to make quality hiring decisions based on real evidence. Interview intelligence fundamentally transforms how you hire, making it faster, fairer, and higher-quality.

The old way of hiring WITHOUT INTERVIEW INTELLIGENCE

  • Hiring Decisions: Based on gut feel, choppy notes, and fuzzy memories
  • Candidate Experience: Overlooked and neglected
  • Hiring Process: Burdened with inefficiencies, bias, and inconsistencies
  • Compliance: Hindered by interviews locked in a black box, making it hard to identify and solve problems
  • Interview Quality: Impacted by buried signals that cause interviewers to pass on great talent

 

The benefits of Interview Intelligence for hiring teams

Interview Intelligence modernizes hiring for everyone involved in the process:

Interviewers are able to more easily connect with candidates, and focus less on note taking or repeating questions from a previous interview.

Hiring teams can use a candidate’s actual words to make a decision, which decreases the likelihood that bias sneaks into the process. Every conversation can be reviewed, compared, and shared across the hiring team to accelerate alignment and increase confidence in hiring decisions.

Candidates have the reassurance that hiring decisions will be made based on their own words, not an interviewer’s selective memory. They also appreciate not having to re-answer the same questions in every interview.

Talent teams can return to the interviews of previous candidates and use them to jumpstart the hiring process for future roles. Interview recordings also help accelerate new recruiter ramp, and give interviewers a better understanding of what “great” looks like from both sides of the interview.

How does interview intelligence work

Before the Interview

Automatically create structured interview plans

Ensure structure in every interview by porting questions directly from your ATS. Cover more surface area with every candidate, and deliver a thoughtful, coordinated process.

Better interview prep

Don’t wing it. Interviewers can watch key highlights in double time to prep for conversations and make the most out of their limited time with candidates.

During the Interview

Live guidance and feedback

Give every interviewer the roadmap to a perfect interview with in-the-moment guidance, and the tools to facilitate a structured, consistent conversation.

Interviewers at their best

Free up interviewers so they can focus on candidates, not on taking notes. Give them the confidence to truly listen to candidates and deliver a great experience.

After the Interview

Confident, collaborative decisions

Give your hiring teams the gift of perfect information transfer with interview highlights
and native collaboration.

Better, faster feedback

Instantly refer back to key moments and automatically transfer them to your ATS. Asynchronously review conversations to accelerate hiring decisions and avoid scheduling bottlenecks.

5 questions to ask when choosing an Interview Intelligence platform

  1. How well does the platform integrate with our ATS?

    The best Interview Intelligence platforms work seamlessly with your company’s existing Applicant Tracking System. Opt for a platform that adapts to existing workflows rather than requiring that users conform to the platform.

  2. How long will it take to get up and running?

    Much of the value from Interview Intelligence is rooted in the collaboration it enables, so you should look for a platform that prioritizes quick implementation and easy cross-team adoption.

  3. How well does the platform balance utility with privacy?

    When evaluating Interview Intelligence solutions, it’s critical to confirm that the platform is dedicated to the privacy of candidate data. This includes providing granular levels of access to users and full transparency to candidates.

  4. Has the platform demonstrated a commitment to data security?

    Every platform that has access to personal or company data should demonstrate their commitment to security best-practices. Give priority to platforms that have completed an independent audit to confirm their security policies and procedures (SOC 2 is one industry-leading example).

  5. Who at my company can access the platform?

    Not only does this ensure that every team member can fully collaborate around hiring decisions, but it also opens the door to additional use cases. (For example, those in product roles can listen to an interview clip to get an authentic look at how the product is perceived in the market.)
