# AI interview

An AI interview is an interview where artificial intelligence, not a human, asks the questions, follows up on what the candidate says, and generates the evaluation afterward.

It's distinct from a one-way video interview, where questions are fixed in advance and nothing responds to the candidate in real time.

**AI interview** — An AI interview is an interview where artificial intelligence, not a human, asks the questions, follows up on what the candidate says, and generates the evaluation afterward. A good system reacts to an actual answer, the way a human interviewer would, rather than playing back a fixed script.

Employers use AI interviews to run scalable first-round screening without a recruiter on every call, since the AI conducts the same quality of conversation for the tenth candidate as the first. For candidates, it means speaking answers out loud in a real conversation, not filling out a form or a static video.

Intervieux runs its AI interviews on ElevenLabs conversational voice technology across seven interview types, from general and technical to salary negotiation, scoring every session across five dimensions: Overall, Communication, Technical, Behavioral, and Cultural Fit, each with written reasoning.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does an AI interview actually listen and respond, or is it prerecorded?

A real AI interview listens to spoken answers and generates follow-up questions based on what was said, closer to a live conversation than a form. A one-way video interview plays a fixed list of preset questions with nothing responding to the answers.

### Who reviews an AI interview afterward?

It depends on the employer. Some use the AI's scoring and transcript directly; others have a recruiter review the report alongside the recording before deciding who advances.

### Is an AI interview the same as a mock interview?

No. A mock interview is a practice exercise with no real stakes. An AI interview can be a real, employer-facing screening step that affects whether a candidate advances, or it can be used purely for practice.
