What is this interview?
It’s a short, spoken conversation with an AI interviewer, done from your browser on your laptop or phone. The hiring team chose the questions, and they are the ones who review your answers. There’s nothing to schedule. Your invitation email has a personal link, and you can start whenever suits you before the deadline in the email.Why am I being asked to do this?
Your application only says so much. This interview is your chance to tell the hiring team about yourself in your own words: your experience, what you’re good at, and what you’re looking for. It gives the team much more to go on than a resume alone, and every candidate gets the same opportunity to make their case. Because there’s no scheduling involved, you can do it at a time that works for you rather than waiting for a slot on someone’s calendar. Just make sure you complete it before the deadline if your invitation email mentions one.Is this replacing a human interviewer?
No. The AI interviewer only asks questions and listens. It doesn’t decide anything. Your answers go straight to the hiring team, real people, who review them and decide on next steps, just as they would after any interview.Who sees my answers?
The hiring team at the company you applied to. Your recording and transcript are shared with them, and they use it alongside the rest of your application. If your camera is on during the interview, the video is included in the recording shared with the hiring team. If your camera is off, they receive the audio recording and transcript only. To help the team review, Metaview also prepares a summary of your interview against criteria the hiring team chose. It’s based only on the transcript of what you said — nothing about your appearance or voice is analyzed — and the hiring team makes every decision themselves.What happens next?
Once you finish, the hiring team reviews your interview and will be in touch about next steps through their usual process. If the interview goes well, you’ll typically move forward in their hiring process; if not, they’ll let you know.How should I prepare?
A few tips:- Find a quiet spot where you can speak freely.
- You’ll need a microphone. A camera helps the team get to know you, but it’s often optional; the welcome screen will tell you if it’s required.
- Take your time. There’s no time limit on your answers, and you can pause to think.
- Treat it like a real interview. The hiring team can watch or listen back to your recording, so bring the same care you would to any interview.
- Talk naturally. You can interrupt the interviewer, ask it to repeat a question, or ask for clarification, just like you would with a person.
- Share what feels relevant. The more context you give, the better picture the team has.
