Screening intelligence,
decided by humans.

AI-powered interview platform

Mimic interviews every applicant the day they apply — across chat, voice, AI video and a live round — and scores every answer against one rubric you define, with the evidence attached.

The full round, from invite to scored shortlist.

Seven ways to run a round.
One rubric across all of them.

The shortlist step is where good candidates disappear, so Mimic removes it. Pick the mode that fits the role and the stage — the scoring is identical, so a chat score and a live-round score sit on the same axis.

  • Chat — behavioural text questions, blind assessment, with AI-generated answers detected in real time.
  • Voice and avatar — a spoken round in the browser, or a composed, bias-free assessor that runs the same script every time.
  • AI video and two-way live — structured one-way video for volume, or a real conversation with your team, both scored the same way.
  • MCQ and sections — knowledge checks drawn from your own question sets.
  • A seventh mode — named in the blueprint but not yet described. Confirm and we'll add it.

What Mimic does

Candidate onboarding and system check+
Before a round starts, the candidate runs a short check on camera, microphone and connection, with identity and document collection handled in chat first. Interviewers only reach people who are validated and ready, and nobody loses a round to a broken headset.
Question management that adapts+
Reusable question sets grouped into sections, multiple choice mixed in, and an interview that adapts as it goes. Question generation runs in the background, so a new role doesn't wait on someone writing a bank from scratch.
Invitations that send themselves+
Applicants are invited automatically as they apply, handled by a background worker rather than a person remembering. That is what makes same-day interviewing possible at volume.
Scoring, results and evidence+
Every answer is scored against your rubric by a model tier reserved for scoring, validated against a fixed schema rather than accepted as free text. Each score links back to the transcript excerpt it came from, so a rating can always be traced to something the candidate actually said.
Sentiment and body-language analysis+
AI reads emotional tone and confidence — posture, eye contact, gestures, composure — turning non-verbal signals into structured, reviewable intelligence rather than an interviewer's gut feel written down afterwards.
Pipelines, analytics and centralised evaluation+
Candidates move through pipelines with weighted scorecards and leaderboards, so evaluation lives in one place. Hiring managers rate the same recorded round rather than a summary of it, and transcripts and analytics are retained for reporting.

Candidate data is somebody's career

Recordings, transcripts and scores are the most sensitive data you will hold about a person who doesn't yet work for you.

A human makes the call

Mimic ranks and evidences. It does not reject anyone. The hire, the pass and the pipeline stage are all decisions a 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 rather than keeping it forever.

Intelligent Recruitment SoftwareThe pipeline the interview belongs to — requisition, shortlist and signed offer. Business Management SystemFive lanes, one chain of records — quotation, order, delivery, invoice, collected.

Frequently asked questions

Do candidates need to download an app or create an account to take the interview?+
No. The candidate interview runs in the browser, with no onboarding and no app to install.
What happens if a candidate's camera or microphone is not working?+
Before a round starts, the candidate runs a short check of their camera, microphone and connection, and identity and document collection is handled in chat first. Interviewers only reach people who are validated and ready, so nobody loses a round to a broken headset.
How does the AI score interview answers, and can I see why a candidate got a particular score?+
Every answer is scored against the rubric you define by a model tier reserved for scoring, and the output is validated against a fixed schema rather than accepted as free text. Each score links back to the transcript excerpt it came from, so you can see what the candidate actually said to earn a given rating.
Does the AI decide who gets rejected, or does a person?+
A person does. Mimic interviews and scores candidates against your rubric with the evidence attached, but the decision is made by humans: the product is described as screening intelligence decided by humans, and the final stage of its five-stage process is labelled "You decide".
Can I use a chat interview for one stage and a live video interview for another, and still compare candidates fairly?+
Yes. You pick the mode that fits the role and the stage, and scoring is identical across modes, so a chat score and a live-round score sit on the same axis and can be compared directly.
How are interview recordings stored, and are they kept forever?+
Recordings sit in private storage that is reached only through short-lived signed URLs. Lifecycle rules expire media on a schedule rather than keeping it indefinitely.
