Intelligent follow-up questions, in real time

When a candidate's answer is generic, Sarah probes deeper. "Earlier you mentioned read-replicas, at what scale did that approach start to break down?" Adaptive follow-ups are what separate a recorded-screen interview from a real one, candidates demonstrate actual skill instead of rehearsed bullets.

Role-aware question generation

Every interview is calibrated to the role, behavioural, situational, deep technical scenarios, derived from your job description's requirements, preferences, and disqualifiers. No generic question banks; no off-target probing.

Parallel scale, no recruiter capacity ceiling

Interview thousands of candidates simultaneously. The product scales with your pipeline, not your headcount. Roles that previously needed a team of recruiters to phone-screen 5% of applicants now interview 100% with a single recruiter still in the loop.

Available 24/7 on web and mobile

Candidates take the interview the moment they're ready, no Calendly back-and-forth, no missed slots, no time-zone Tetris. Most candidates complete within 24 hours of applying; completion rates exceed 70% in pilots.

Won't candidates feel weird talking to an AI?

Completion rates in pilots are above 70%, well above industry average for one-way video interviews. Sarah adapts to ambiguity in real time, so candidates feel heard. Most call it the most human AI interaction they've had.

What about candidates whose English isn't fluent?

Sarah interviews in 23 languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, and Arabic. The rubric is identical across languages, candidates are scored on substance, not phrasing.

Frequently asked

How long does an AI video interview take?

Typically 20–35 minutes, depending on the role's complexity. Sarah adapts the length to what's needed, a sales role might run 18 minutes; a senior engineering role might run 40.

Can I edit the questions Sarah asks?

Yes. The generated question set is fully editable in the recruiter dashboard. Override individual questions, lock specific ones, or add your own. Sarah still drills follow-ups around your edits.

Does Sarah work for non-technical roles?

Yes, Sarah interviews for product, design, sales, marketing, operations, customer success, and a wide range of other roles. The rubric and questions adapt to the role's actual demands.

What happens if a candidate's connection drops?

Sarah pauses and resumes the moment the candidate reconnects. Mid-question state is preserved; the interview continues from where it stopped, not from the beginning.
