What is an AI Interview?
An AI Interview lets you automatically interview candidates using an AI interviewer—without scheduling live calls.
Instead of a human interviewer, an AI agent asks structured, role-specific questions, follows up based on candidate responses, and captures detailed insights for review.
AI Interviews are best used when you want to:
Screen a large number of candidates quickly
Reduce scheduling and interviewer effort
Get consistent, unbiased first-round interviews
Evaluate both technical depth and communication skills
How does an AI Interview work?
At a high level, the AI Interview flow looks like this:
You define the role and expectations (via prompt or job description)
AI generates an interview plan and relevant questions
Candidates attend the interview at their convenience
The AI interviewer conducts the interview end-to-end
You review interview recordings and AI-generated insights
The interview typically includes:
Warm greeting and role context
Experience and skill-based questions
Role-fit and situational questions
Candidate-specific follow-ups
A structured wrap-up
How to create your first AI Interview
Step 1: Start a new evaluation
From the Tests dashboard, click Start evaluation.
You’ll see two options:
AI Assessment
AI Interview
Select AI Interview to continue.
Step 2: Describe who the AI interviewer is meeting
You’ll land on a prompt input screen where you can define the interview context.
You can:
Write a free-text prompt describing the role
Attach a job description
Pick from suggested roles to get started quickly
Example prompt:
Create an AI interview plan for an AI Engineer with 5 years of experience in IT. Emphasize machine learning, deep learning frameworks, data pipeline design, and model deployment in production.
As you add details, WeCP automatically detects and tags:
Job role
Skills
Experience
Industry and nature of work (if provided)
💡 Tip: Adding more context (industry, seniority, role expectations) helps AI generate more accurate interviews.
Step 3: Review and customize interview questions
Once you click Create interview, AI analyzes your input and generates a set of interview questions.
These questions are based on:
The job description or prompt
Required skills and experience
General role-fit and motivation checks
At this stage, you can:
Review all suggested questions
Remove questions you don’t need
Add custom questions
When you’re satisfied, continue to create the interview.
Step 4: Review the interview plan
After creation, your AI Interview plan is ready.
Here you can:
See the AI interviewer (video + voice)
Choose or change the interviewer’s voice
View the overall interview structure
If you click See interview plan, a side panel opens showing:
How the interview will be conducted
The sequence of interview sections
The questions generated from your input
⚠️ Currently, the interview plan is view-only. Editing the plan directly is not available yet.
Step 5: Configure candidate & integrity experience
Next, move to the Integrity & experience step.
Here you can configure:
Candidate experience
Interview window (when candidates can take the interview)
Number of attempts allowed
Welcome message for candidates

Safeguards to reduce cheating
These settings control how secure and smooth the interview experience is for candidates.
Step 6: Invite candidates
