AI Interview mode selection

• Default Off

This feature introduces distinct variants for the AI Interview (AII) agent, providing users with enhanced control and flexibility during the interview process. It enables you to tailor their interview approach based on specific requirements.

The selected interview mode is stored and retrieved at the time of the interview prompt, enabling the AI to dynamically switch between strict and default questioning approaches.

Needs addressed

• The existing AI Interviewer workflow provides the AI with freedom to plan and execute interviews, sometimes leading to questions that deviate from specific feedback forms. Recruiters also expressed concerns about a perceived lack of control and sought a simpler, more controlled adoption path for the AI Interviewer.

• To address these needs, two distinct variants for the AII agent are introduced.

  • The AI Assisted mode maintains the current AI's freedom to plan and execute the interview, allowing users to add additional guidance to modify questions.

  • The Template Only mode ensures the AI agent asks questions only based on the provided feedback form, without requiring additional guidance during scheduling.

• The Template Only mode directly enables the AI to follow the recruiter's instructions and the feedback form as closely as possible, eliminating deviations. This provides recruiters with greater control over the interview questions and ensures the explicit confirmation of information already available on the resume, if desired.
