OVERVIEW
InterWiz uses an AI Interviewer (Ava) to make interviews structured, fair, and efficient. Depending on your stage in the hiring process, your interview may include different assessments. This guide explains the types of interviews, what happens during each assessment, and what you’ll see in the AI interview interface.
Types of AI Interviews
There are two main types of interviews on InterWiz:
Screening Interview
A shorter interview (usually around 35-50 minutes) designed to quickly filter candidates. It checks your basic qualifications, role fit, and general skills.In-depth Interview
A longer interview (usually around 60-90 minutes) that dives deeper into technical skills, thoroughly evaluating shortlisted candidates to support final hiring decisions.
It’s possible for an interview to contain more than one type of assessment, depending on the role.
Types of Assessments
An AI interview may include one or more of the following assessments:
Basic Screening Assessment – Questions about your background, basic skills, and availability.
Role-Specific Screening Assessment – A quick test of the core skills required for the role.
Professional Assessment – Evaluates workplace behavior, professionalism, and soft skills.
Role-Specific Structured Assessment – A detailed assessment of role-related skills.
