Value
Organizations often find it difficult evaluating the spoken language skills of candidates objectively and consistently. This is important for jobs that deal with customers, workers, and technical skills.
This feature integrates automated language evaluation directly into AI interview sessions. Customers receive an automated, standardized, and explainable proficiency rating for every candidate, based on their interview performance. The evaluation is aligned with the open, license-free, and globally accepted CEFR framework, which is designed to assess natural, unscripted speech.
Recruiters can enable the Evaluate Language Proficiency option when setting up an English-language profile screening interview. The AI Interviewer informs the candidate that their language skills are being assessed. After the interview, the recruiter can view the candidate's overall CEFR rating and detailed scores directly in the interview feedback form.
