Products › Conversational AI Avatar Interview
The same interview,
the fortieth time.
A composed assessor that never drifts from the script
An avatar conducts the round, and it asks the fortieth candidate exactly what it asked the first. No fatigue, no rapport bias, no half-remembered follow-up — the script is the script, and every answer meets the same rubric.
Runs in the browser. Nothing for the candidate to install.
assets/avatar-interviewer-demo.mp4 — 16:9, 1920×1080, H.264. Autoplays muted on loop; keep it under roughly 8 MB and 30 seconds.The same eight questions, asked identically, forty times over.
Your best interviewer is worse
at four in the afternoon.
Interviewer variance is the largest uncontrolled variable in most hiring processes, and nobody measures it. An avatar removes it by construction: the questions, the order, the wording and the manner are identical for candidate one and candidate forty.
- No fatigue drift. The fortieth round of the week is delivered exactly like the first — same questions, same order, same wording, same pacing.
- No rapport bias. A candidate who happens to remind the interviewer of themselves gets no head start, because there is nobody there to warm to.
- Identical manner for everyone. A composed, even presentation, so a nervous candidate is not reading tension in the interviewer’s face and adjusting to it.
- Adaptive, but bounded. A thin answer draws a follow-up — and the follow-up comes from your question set rather than being improvised on the spot.
- The same rubric as the other two rounds. An avatar score, a recorded score and a live score are directly comparable, so the modality is a logistics choice rather than a scoring one.
Round in progress — script fidelity
“What did you change first?”
One script. Every candidate.
Five stages, and the middle three are identical for everybody. That is the entire point.
What the Avatar round does
What “runs the same script” actually means+
Bounded follow-ups+
The check before the round, and the disclosure+
Scoring, and the evidence underneath it+
Body language and sentiment+
Pipelines, leaderboards and evaluation+
Consistency is the claim.
So is the disclosure.
An avatar interview is a stronger claim than a recorded one, so it carries a heavier obligation.
A human makes the call
It ranks and evidences. It does not reject anyone. The hire, the pass and the pipeline stage are decisions a named person takes, on the record.
One AI gateway, no loose ends
Every model call passes through a single choke point with schema validation, caching, per-tenant rate limits and spend caps. There is no second path to a provider.
Media behind signed links
Recordings sit in private storage reached only through short-lived signed URLs, with lifecycle rules that expire media on a schedule.
And plainly. An avatar is not a person, candidates are told so before they start, and some of them will not want to be interviewed this way — which is a legitimate preference and a reason to offer the 2-Way round as well. Consistency is not the same as fairness: an identical script applied to everybody is a genuine improvement on interviewer variance, but a badly written script is now badly written for all forty candidates instead of some of them. We publish no accuracy figure for the scoring. And an avatar round is a screening instrument — it is not a substitute for meeting somebody before you hire them.
