What is an AI Avatar Interview?

An AI Avatar Interview is a 10–15 minutes voice-based interaction where candidates speak with a conversational avatar trained to simulate a hiring manager.

Instead of responding to fixed video questions (like in AVIs), the avatar dynamically adapts to candidate responses and asks follow-ups in real time, providing a more natural and engaging experience.

Static vs. Dynamic Interviews

  • Static interviews also called Structured interviews follow a consistent set of questions and scoring rubrics. The questions can be randomized to ensure spontaneity rather than encourage rehearsed responses. These interviews are ideally suited for a prescreen recruiter interview round.

  • Dynamic interviews also called Unstructured interviews tends to be more flexible and conversational. It acknowledges and understands candidate responses, and asks follow-up questions. It mimicks a semi-structured, real-world interview.These interview formats are ideally suited to go deeper into past experience, or job readiness, ideally suited to do a prescreen hiring manager interview round.
