Go deeper while the conversation is happening
Interview Agent gives recruiters candidate-specific questions, live answer guidance, and adaptive follow-ups while they lead the interview. It then organizes the conversation into evidence the hiring team can review.
Give recruiters more context without asking them to become subject-matter experts
Recruiters are expected to interview across an extraordinary range of roles. Interview Agent helps them understand what to listen for, recognize where an answer needs more depth, and ask a credible follow-up on unfamiliar technical, scientific, operational, or functional topics.
Start with a consistent competency framework, then tailor questions to each candidate’s experience and important resume gaps.
See what an answer demonstrated, what may still be missing, and why a follow-up could help
Review suggested follow-ups and updated questions based on what the candidate has already said. The recruiter always chooses what to ask.
Organize the conversation into competency findings, score explanations, and transcript evidence for recruiter and hiring-team review.
Carry better evidence into the decision
Instead of relying on scattered notes or memory, recruiters and hiring managers can review structured findings, clear gaps, score explanations, and evidence from the conversation before deciding what happens next.
Recruiters lead. Interview Agent supports.
Recruiters lead every conversation and choose what to ask. Interview Agent provides candidate-specific questions, live guidance, and organized evidence, and the recruiter decides what to use. Relevant, informed follow-ups can help recruiters create a more substantive conversation with candidates.
Frequently asked questions
Does Interview Agent record video interviews?
No. Interview Agent does not record or store audio or video. When it participates in a recruiter-led interview, it processes the conversation to create a transcript and provide live guidance and a post-interview report. Transcript access, retention, and deletion depend on the customer’s configured workflow and applicable agreement.
How long does it take recruiting teams to get started with HireFoundry?
Most recruiting teams are up and running in less than 90 minutes. The HireFoundry team runs a guided training session with your recruiters so everyone feels comfortable and confident using the platform from day one.
That one session covers the whole platform, not just one agent. Whichever agents your team uses, the setup and training time stays the same.
What kind of questions does Interview Agent generate?
Questions grounded in the actual job description and hiring manager context for that specific role, not a generic interview question bank. As the conversation progresses, Interview Agent updates what to ask next instead of running from a fixed script.
Can recruiters edit or override Interview Agent’s suggestions?
Yes. Recruiters can add, edit, reorder, replace, or skip questions before or during the interview. They decide whether to use a suggested follow-up, can trigger an analysis when needed, and remain responsible for the conversation and every decision that follows.
How are candidates notified?
Candidate notice and consent requirements depend on the location and how Interview Agent is used. We work with each customer to document the candidate experience, the information processed, the role of the recruiter, and the controls available. Customers should review the applicable requirements with their legal counsel.
Which interview rounds and meeting platforms does Interview Agent support?
Interview Agent currently supports one recruiter-led interview round per candidate. Multi-round continuity is planned. Supported calendar and meeting workflows are listed on the Integrations page and depend on the customer's configuration.
Will candidates feel like they are being interviewed by AI?
With HireFoundry, recruiters conduct the entire interview themselves. Our interview agent provides real-time insights and suggested questions that only the interviewer sees. Candidates may see the agent listed as a participant, but they speak with a person throughout.
Even human-led interviews can feel scripted to candidates when the next question a recruiter asks which was AI generated ignores what someone who used relevant jargon just said. Our interview agent in HireFoundry goes beyond generating a list of questions. As candidates share more, it updates questions the interviewer hasn’t asked yet in real time and suggests follow-ups informed by the conversation so far. The interviewer decides what to ask and where to go deeper.
That support helps recruiters build more natural conversations where candidates feel heard, valued, and understood, with thoughtful follow-ups that show why their experience matters.
