# What happens in a doctor's AI screening interview

Intro-screening is the one Intervieux interview type that happens for real: after a doctor applies to an actual hospital or practice posting on the job board, the AI interview that follows is the employer's own screening, built from the questions and rubric they configured, not a private practice run.

Every other interview type on Intervieux is something a candidate runs on their own before a real interview happens. This one runs immediately after a candidate clicks apply, as the first stage of the actual hiring process.

## Applying to a real posting, then screening on the spot

A candidate browsing the job board finds an opening for a family medicine physician at a community practice and applies with one click. The practice had already set up the posting through an AI-drafted job setup, which generated the scoring traits, a rubric, and the actual questions the interview would ask, things specific to that practice, like its patient panel size or its approach to same-day scheduling. The candidate does not choose the interviewer's personality or style here, since the practice's own configuration decides that. Once the interview finishes, a screening rules engine evaluates the result automatically against the practice's own conditions, tagging the application, moving it to a pipeline stage, setting a priority, or notifying a hiring manager, all without anyone at the practice reviewing the raw transcript first.

## What the questions and the follow-up actually cover

The questions themselves come from the employer's own setup, so a hospital screening for a night-shift hospitalist role asks something different than a rural clinic screening for a family medicine role with a broader scope of practice. What stays consistent is the automation around it: the interview runs immediately after applying, the rules engine evaluates the result against conditions the employer defined ahead of time, using operators and nested logic across as many as 14 conditions, and the candidate gets a result without waiting on a human reviewer to look at the interview first. Afterward, the candidate receives 3 AI improvement tips based on the actual interview and a fit trajectory score for that specific application.

## How scoring and the rules engine work together

The same 5-dimension scoring applies here as in practice sessions, Overall, Communication, Technical, Behavioral, and Cultural Fit, each with written reasoning and calibration floors and caps. What is different is what happens to that score afterward. The employer's rules engine reads the scores, along with experience level and other evaluable fields, and takes an action automatically, tagging a strong candidate as a priority, moving a weak one out of the active pipeline, or notifying a specific person on the hiring team, all based on conditions set before the candidate ever applied. A candidate cannot see the employer's rubric ahead of time, which is part of why practicing with the other interview types before applying matters.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is intro-screening something I can practice ahead of time?

Not directly, since it only runs after applying to a real posting. The other interview types, especially general and job-description, let a candidate rehearse the kind of questions likely to come up before running the real screening.

### Do I choose the interviewer's personality for this one?

No. The employer's own configuration decides the interviewer style and personality for a screening interview, unlike the practice types where a candidate picks from three styles and twelve personalities directly.

### What happens to my application after the screening interview ends?

A screening rules engine evaluates the result automatically against conditions the employer set up in advance, potentially tagging the application, moving it to a new pipeline stage, or notifying someone on the hiring team, all without a manual review step first.

### Do I get any feedback from a screening interview?

Yes. A candidate receives 3 AI improvement tips drawn from the actual interview and a fit trajectory score for that specific application, separate from whatever action the employer's rules engine took.
