Use AI Companion without a feedback form
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The AI Interview Companion used to require a feedback form before you could schedule it — the scheduling wizard blocked Send and Next until you picked one. This feature makes the form optional. When it's on, you can schedule a companion interview with no form, confirm a short prompt, and go. The companion still captures the interview summary and transcript, and auto-generates feedback after the call from a default template.
WHY IT MATTERS
Stop letting the form block coverage. If you don't have a feedback form ready, you can still add the companion to the interview.
Keep the core value. The companion still captures the interview summary and transcript, and auto-generates feedback after the call from a default template.
No change when you do use a form. Interviews with a feedback form behave exactly as before.
FEATURE DETAILS
Who can access | Recruiters, Customer Admins, Interviewers |
Feature type | Default On |
Requirements | AI Interview Companion enabled for the tenant. |
GETTING STARTED
Admins: Confirm the AI Interview Companion is enabled in Admin Console ▸ Product Setup ▸ AI Agents ▸ Configure AI Interview Companion. Then have form-less scheduling turned on for the tenant through feature configuration. Recruiters schedule as usual, leaving Select Feedback Form unset and confirming the prompt.
End users: When form-less scheduling is on, leaving the feedback form unset no longer blocks Send or Next — a short confirmation appears, and scheduling proceeds. Form-less companion interviews skip interviewer prep, in-meeting nudges, and the Topic coverage command — the in-meeting command that shows how well the conversation has covered the feedback form's topics (which don't exist without a form). Feedback is still generated after the call from a default template.
