Every hiring team wants to move faster. And every candidate wants to be seen and heard.
But somewhere between those two goals, the process broke.
Candidates spend hours tailoring résumés, then wait in silence. Recruiters spend days coordinating, screening, and documenting, while capable candidates are overlooked before their potential is ever seen.
That wait isn’t just a delay. It’s friction, frustration, and lost opportunity on both sides.
It’s time to fix the waiting game.
Meet AI Interviewer
Our latest innovation, AI Interviewer brings equity, fairness, and human connection to the first moments of hiring.
Built on the same Talent Intelligence Platform trusted by more than 100 organizations in 155 countries — including Dolby, Dexcom, and the U.S. Department of Defense — AI Interviewer ensures that every qualified candidate gets a fair chance.
It works by conducting structured, bias-audited interviews right after a candidate applies, no waiting for emails or scheduling. Candidates respond to thoughtful, role-relevant questions in a conversational format on their own time and in their own language.
Recruiters receive structured summaries and AI interview scores, helping them identify and advance capable candidates in hours, not weeks.
Recognized as one of the Top HR Products of 2025, AI Interviewer was praised for blending automation with empathy by using ethical, transparent AI to make hiring more personalized and equitable.
Built for equity and experience
Candidates don’t need another impersonal algorithm. They need a fair shot, and an interview that gives them the opportunity to make their case.
AI Interviewer evaluates only what candidates say — their words, experiences, and capabilities. It never analyzes facial expressions, tone of voice, or emotion, ensuring fairness and compliance with regulations including New York City’s Local Law 144, Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and Maryland’s HB 1202.
This skills-based design eliminates the biases that creep into human interviews, like how someone looks, sounds, or speaks, and focuses on what truly matters — whether they can do the job.
AI Interviewer includes:
- Bias-audited models: Standardized, consistent evaluation that removes variability from interviewer judgment.
- 22+ languages supported: Every voice can be heard, every story understood.
- Expanding opportunity: Gives a fair chance to capable people who might otherwise be screened out, including career switchers, caregivers returning to work, veterans, and more.
For candidates, it means being evaluated on merit, not impression. For employers, it means discovering talent that might otherwise stay hidden.
Speed and scale without losing humanity
Today, recruiters are juggling hundreds of openings, compliance requirements, and high-volume hiring. The AI Interviewer helps teams move fast while ensuring fairness and structure at every step.
AI Interviewer provides:
- Instant engagement: Interviews begin automatically after application with no scheduling delays.
- Thousands of conversations at once: Scalable interviewing across time zones, languages, and shift-based roles.
- Structured insights: Automatic transcripts and interview scores that help teams identify the right candidates fast.
- Human oversight: Recruiters review every result and make final decisions. AI never replaces their judgment.
In early pilots, organizations have reduced time to first interview by up to 90%, while improving candidate satisfaction and recruiter productivity.
Speed here isn’t about automation. It’s about giving more people a chance, sooner.
Enterprise trust and platform power
Unlike experimental AI tools, AI Interviewer is built on our enterprise-grade Talent Intelligence Platform used by global leaders to manage hiring, internal mobility, and workforce planning at scale.
That means AI Interviewer provides:
- Responsible, transparent AI: Every recommendation can be explained and audited. The system focuses only on skills, experience, and potential — never biometric data — eliminating the risks tied to facial recognition or emotional analysis. Learn more about responsible AI at Eightfold.
- Enterprise compliance: FedRAMP Moderate authorized, SOC 2, and ISO 42001 certified for data security and governance.
- Global trust: Proven in 155 countries, with millions of hiring and mobility decisions supported.
- Continuous intelligence: Every interview enriches our broader Talent Intelligence Cloud, powering better decisions across sourcing, mobility, and retention.
For employers, that means a hiring system that’s not only effective, but ethical, explainable, and ready for anything.
How it works
- Apply, and start instantly
As soon as candidates submit an application, the AI Interviewer invites them to begin. No waiting, no scheduling.
- Conversational, structured interview
The AI asks role-specific questions, requests examples, and evaluates responses for skills and capabilities, not presentation or emotion.
- Smart summaries and insights
Recruiters receive a concise transcript, highlights, and an AI interview score. No manual note-taking required.
- Human review, always available
Recruiters can replay interviews, add context, or override AI recommendations at any time. Candidates with accessibility needs are routed to a human-led process to ensure full inclusion.
Integrated directly with leading ATS systems, setup takes hours — not weeks — so teams can start hiring fairly and efficiently right away.
