Verbal proctored interviews with an AI assistant
01 May, 2025
Finding the right talent is tough—especially when you're managing high volumes of applications, tight deadlines, and remote hiring processes. That’s why a game-changing feature — verbal proctored interviews using an AI assistant — is the future of proctoring.
This innovative feature allows companies and institutions to automate initial interviews, with an AI assistant that asks job-specific questions, proposes real-world scenarios, and evaluates candidate responses—all while ensuring integrity and consistency.
Why AI-powered verbal interviews matter: by the numbers
72% of hiring managers say soft skills like communication and problem-solving are more important than technical skills, yet traditional CVs and tests don’t effectively measure them.
On average, recruiters spend 6-8 hours per role conducting initial phone screens. AI-driven verbal interviews can cut this by up to 70%, allowing recruiters to focus on qualified candidates.
88% of companies are now conducting remote interviews, and 54% plan to keep some form of AI-assisted interviewing as a permanent part of their process.
Companies that use AI in their hiring process report a 30-50% reduction in time-to-hire, while improving the quality of hire by 25% (LinkedIn Talent Insights, 2024).
AI-driven interviewing, tailored to your needs
AI Assistant is more than just a proctor—it’s your first line in identifying top talent.
Customized interview flow
Based on your job description and requirements, the AI creates a tailored set of verbal questions and situational prompts.
Interactive candidate experience
Candidates speak directly to the AI, answering questions in real-time just like they would in a live interview.
Scenario-based assessment
The AI proposes realistic work-related scenarios to gauge critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Secure proctoring

Addressing common concerns about AI-assisted interviews
Some companies may feel uncertain about using AI to conduct initial interviews. Concerns about losing the human touch, compromising candidate experience, or trusting technology with critical hiring decisions are completely valid.
However, it's important to see AI not as a replacement, but as a powerful enhancement to your recruitment process. AI handles repetitive tasks like initial screenings, allowing your team to focus on more meaningful, personal interactions with top candidates. It ensures consistency and fairness by asking the same job-specific questions to every applicant, reducing unconscious bias.
The system provides complete transparency, with all interviews recorded and transcribed, so hiring managers retain full control over final decisions.
Far from taking away the human element, AI makes your hiring team more efficient, informed, and able to deliver a better experience to both candidates and stakeholders. It’s about combining the precision of AI with the insight of human judgment—to hire smarter, faster, and more fairly.
