# Interviews based on any job description

A job-description AI interview on Intervieux takes an actual job posting, one you paste in yourself, and questions you against the specific requirements, responsibilities, and skills listed in it. It isn't the standard round of questions asked of every candidate for every role.

The posting can come from the Intervieux job board or from anywhere else, since the interview type works from the text of the description itself, not from a listing already stored in the system.

## What it is

This is the interview type built around a document you supply rather than a fixed question set. Paste in the job description you're actually targeting, and the AI interviewer builds its questions around what that posting is asking for: the specific skills listed, the responsibilities described, the seniority implied by the language. A dedicated conversational voice agent runs the session and reacts to what's said, so two candidates working from the same posting won't hear identical follow-ups once their answers start to differ.

## How it works

1. **Paste in the job description** — Bring in the text of a real posting, whether it's a role on the Intervieux job board or one found elsewhere.
2. **Choose style and personality** — Pick from three interview styles and twelve interviewer personalities to set the tone, formal to mirror a corporate posting's language, friendly for one written in a looser, startup-style voice.
3. **The AI builds its questions from that posting** — Questions are drawn from the specific requirements and responsibilities in the description, not a generic question bank.
4. **Answer and get follow-ups** — The voice agent follows up on what's actually said, probing deeper on the parts of the posting most relevant to the answer given.
5. **Get a scored report** — The session ends with a five-dimension score, written reasoning that reflects how directly the answers addressed that posting's own requirements, and any penalties applied.

## Practice for the posting you actually want

A generic interview question bank can't ask about the exact stack, certifications, or responsibilities named in a specific listing. This type reads the posting you supply and questions from it directly, so practice targets the job that's actually open rather than a role in the abstract.

## Works with postings from anywhere

The job description doesn't have to come from the Intervieux job board. Any posting text can be pasted in, which makes this type useful even for a role found on another site entirely, as long as the description itself is available to work from.

## Different from resume-based practice

This type reads a job posting; it doesn't read a candidate's resume. Someone wanting the interview to probe their own work history and specific past roles instead of a target posting's requirements is better served by the resume-based interview type.

## The posting also feeds a match score, and calibration keeps it honest

Intervieux already compares a candidate's resume against a job posting to produce a resume-versus-posting match score elsewhere on the platform. This interview type puts that same posting to a different use, turning its listed requirements into the actual questions asked, rather than only a number describing how closely a resume lines up with it on paper. Once the description is pasted in, the AI reads the requirements, responsibilities, and any named skills or tools before the first question is even asked, and the calibration floors and caps built into scoring apply the same way here as on every other type, so a session that leans on generic answers instead of addressing the posting's specifics won't score higher just for sounding confident.

## Who it's for

This type suits a candidate with a specific opening in mind, whether they've already applied or are preparing to. It's the closest practice format to the interview that posting's employer would actually run, since the questions come from the same text the employer wrote, not a generic list written for no particular role at all.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the job description have to be from the Intervieux job board?

No. Any posting text can be pasted in, whether it's found on the Intervieux job board or on another site entirely. The interview type builds its questions from whatever description is supplied.

### How is this different from the general interview type?

The general type asks the standard questions common to most interviews and needs no document. This type reads a specific job posting and builds questions from its listed requirements and responsibilities.

### Will two candidates using the same job description get identical questions?

The starting questions draw from the same posting, but the AI interviewer follows up on each candidate's actual answers, so the conversations branch off from there rather than running an identical fixed script.

### Can I use this to prepare for a job I haven't applied to yet?

Yes. Pasting in a posting's description works whether or not an application has already been submitted, which makes it useful for preparing ahead of an application as well as after one.
