Introduction of 360 interviews
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Instead of scheduling a separate interview for each type — one for screening, one for a coding exercise, one for a role-fit conversation — 360 Interview runs them all in one AI-conducted session built from ordered sections. For each position, 360 can provide a product-recommended guide that already includes the sections that fit the role, so recruiters start from a sensible default and adjust as needed. The AI interviewer adapts to each section, candidates can take a break between sections, and every answer is scored — rolling up into a single feedback report with a score for each section and an overall total.
Supported section types:
Screening / Pre-screening — qualifying questions asked before the main interview
Conceptual Q&A — tests understanding of theory and concepts
Coding Exercise — hands-on coding in an in-interview environment, with Focus Mode for dedicated time
Algorithmic Challenges — data-structures and algorithms problems
Case Study (High-Level Design) — open-ended, whiteboard-based problem solving
Role Fit — structured behavioral assessment of competencies and values
WHY IT MATTERS
Covers screening, technical, coding, case-study, and role-fit assessment in one AI-conducted session instead of a separate interview per type.
Starts from a product-recommended guide per position and lets recruiters reorder or adjust the sections.
Returns a single feedback report that scores every section and gives an overall total, with score-based filters on the pipeline.
Gives candidates a smoother experience — a readiness check before they start and the option to take a break between sections.

GETTING STARTED
Admins: 360 Interview rolls out on by default; no setup is required to receive it, and it can be deferred for your organization if you're not ready. Optional capabilities are managed in Product Setup — for example screen recording, identity verification, and language proficiency evaluation. A 360 guide will be available by default for each position.
To know more, read Configure 360 AI Interviews.
End users: A recruiter opens the position's recommended 360 guide (or builds one), orders its sections, and adds questions from the question library. A candidate takes one AI-conducted interview through those sections, with breaks included. Recruiters and hiring managers review a single feedback report with per-section scores and an overall total.

CREDIT USAGE
A guide with more than one section uses 3 credits per interview, regardless of how many sections it has.
A guide with a single section uses 1 credit per interview.
The optional in-interview avatar — enabled under Manage AI Agent in Product Setup — adds 0.5 credits per interview, and is off unless you turn it on.
