Standalone AI Interviewer

• Default Off (Configuration implementation required)

Who: Recruiters, Hiring Managers, TA Leaders

Requirements: 

• Enabling Standalone AI Interviewer requires an additional license cost. For further details and assistance, contact your dedicated Account Executive or AI Growth Partner.

• Standalone AI Interviewer licensing can't be combined with an existing Enterprise AI Interviewer license. This product is for customers who don’t have access to Eightfold’s Talent Acquisition, and would like to scale their hiring using AI Interviewer.

• To sync jobs and candidates automatically or save interview results, you need to set up a supported ATS integration. If you don't have this, you can manage positions and candidates in the standalone workspace.

Note: Standalone AI Interviewer was previously released in the March 2026 monthly, and is now generally available.

What's new: Standalone AI Interviewer provides a dedicated environment that uses Eightfold’s AI Interviewer engine without requiring the full Talent Acquisition or Talent Tracking products. This enables organizations to adopt AI-powered interviews faster. 

It delivers an end-to-end flow—from creating positions and onboarding candidates to sending AI interview invites and tracking initiated/completed stages—so recruiters get structured interviews, transcripts, recordings, and scores—all in one place.

How it works: With Standalone AI Interviewer, recruiters create or import positions, add candidates (or sync them from an ATS), and trigger AI interviews. The system sends interview links, conducts the interview, and surfaces transcripts, recordings, scores, and feedback for review. This can be shared with the hiring team or synced back into the ATS.
