Interview Styles

The AI delivers your predefined questions exactly as written with no follow-up probes. Every candidate gets an identical experience.

How it works:

1. You define the question spine on the posting
2. The AI asks each question in order, exactly as written
3. No follow-ups — it moves directly to the next question after each answer
4. Every candidate receives the exact same questions in the exact same order

Best for:

• Regulated or high-stakes roles where legal defensibility is critical
• High-volume roles where maximum consistency matters
• Situations where you want zero AI variability

The AI follows your predefined lead questions but generates follow-up probes based on candidate responses.

How it works:

1. You define the question spine on the posting
2. The AI asks each question in order
3. After each answer, the AI may ask a brief follow-up to dig deeper
4. Lead questions are the same for every candidate; follow-ups adapt to their responses

Best for:

• Most roles — balances standardization with depth
• Getting richer evidence without losing question consistency
• A more natural interview flow

The AI generates all questions in real-time based on the competency framework and the candidate's responses. No predefined question spine.

How it works:

1. You select competencies — the AI uses their behavioral anchors to guide questioning
2. The AI decides what to ask based on how the candidate responds
3. It probes deeper on areas of strength or uncertainty
4. It ensures all assigned competencies are covered across the interview

Best for:

• Senior or complex roles where depth matters more than standardization
• Roles where test security is critical (no question leakage between candidates)
• A more conversational, exploratory interview format
