AI Companion for interviews without a requisition
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The AI Interview Companion used to require an associated position (job requisition) — on an interview with no position, the companion simply wasn't available. This feature removes that requirement. When it's enabled for your tenant, you can add the companion to an interview that has no position, using the same Interview Companion Agent control. Nothing about how you add it changes.
WHY IT MATTERS
Cover more interviews. Interviews that aren't linked to a specific requisition — general or exploratory conversations, for example — can now use the companion.
No new workflow. It's the same Interview Companion Agent control; the only change is that it's available when there's no position.
Same assistance. Once added, the companion joins, takes notes, and auto-fills feedback as it does on any interview.

GETTING STARTED
Admins: Confirm the AI Interview Companion is enabled in Admin Console ▸ Product Setup ▸ AI Agents ▸ Configure AI Interview Companion. Then have position-optional companion support turned on for the tenant through feature configuration. Recruiters add the companion by turning on Interview Companion Agent, even on interviews with no position.
End users: For an interview with no associated position, the AI Companion control is now available. Turn it on and the companion joins the interview as usual. Interviews that do have a position are unchanged.
