What is an AI interviewer?
An AI interviewer is a conversational artificial intelligence system that conducts structured job interviews autonomously — asking role-specific questions, listening to candidate responses, asking intelligent follow-up questions, and evaluating answers in real time. Unlike pre-recorded screening tools, AltHire AI's interviewer adapts dynamically to each candidate, simulating the nuance and engagement of a skilled human interviewer while delivering consistent, bias-free scoring at scale.
Is there an AI that can interview you?
Yes — AltHire AI is a fully automated interviewer that conducts live, adaptive video interviews with candidates 24/7. Candidates receive a unique interview link, complete the interview on their own schedule from any device, and receive immediate feedback. Recruiters then review AI-generated reports, scoring breakdowns, video recordings, and transcripts — making informed decisions without sitting through every interview manually.
How does AltHire AI create interview questions?
You simply upload or paste a job description, and AltHire AI automatically generates role-specific questions, follow-up prompts, and evaluation criteria tailored to the position's requirements. The system understands job nuances across technical, behavioral, and functional domains — so interviews for a Backend Engineer look completely different from those for a Customer Success Manager.
How does AI proctoring work during interviews?
AltHire AI's proctoring system runs continuously in the background throughout every interview. It verifies identity, detects multiple faces, monitors eye movements, analyzes audio for additional voices or coaching, tracks tab switches and copy-paste activity, and flags any AI-generated answer patterns. A comprehensive proctoring report with timestamps, photo captures, and behavior flags is compiled automatically after each session.
Can AltHire AI conduct coding interviews?
Yes. AltHire AI includes a live, interactive coding assessment environment that supports any programming language. Candidates solve real-world challenges in real time while the platform evaluates problem-solving approach, code quality, optimization, and debugging ability. Built-in proctoring prevents external assistance, and results are delivered alongside the candidate's full interview report for a complete picture of technical capability.
Which ATS platforms does AltHire AI integrate with?
AltHire AI integrates natively with 20+ leading ATS platforms including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, BambooHR, JazzHR, iCIMS, Jobvite, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, and BreezyHR. Most integrations are completed within a few days. For enterprise teams using proprietary or niche systems, the AltHire team can build custom integrations to ensure seamless data sync across your entire hiring workflow.
How does AltHire AI ensure fair, unbiased evaluations?
Every interview is evaluated using a structured scoring model with objective, predefined criteria set by the recruiter. The AI scores all candidates against the same rubric — eliminating inconsistencies caused by interviewer fatigue, unconscious bias, or varying question standards. Recruiters can customize dimensions like technical proficiency, communication, or cultural alignment, and the system scores uniformly across all candidates regardless of background.
What kind of reports do recruiters receive after an interview?
Recruiters receive a comprehensive 360° performance report for every candidate, including dimensional scores across all evaluation criteria, question-by-question AI analysis, a full video recording with time-stamped transcript, AI flags for inconsistencies or suspicious activity, and a detailed proctoring overview. Reports are designed to give hiring managers everything they need to make a confident, data-backed final decision without reviewing hours of footage.
