AI Interview Software

Run structured, asynchronous interviews at scale and let AI score every candidate against the same criteria, so your team spends time only on the people worth meeting.

What is AI interview software?

AI interview software is a tool that automates the early interview stages of hiring. Candidates record or type answers to a structured set of questions on their own schedule, and the software uses AI to transcribe, summarize, and score each response against a consistent rubric. Criba is AI interview software built for high-volume screening: you create a role, send one link, and receive ranked candidates with evidence-backed scores, usually within minutes of a candidate finishing.

Traditional phone screens and live interviews do not scale. Recruiters lose hours to scheduling, no-shows, and repetitive first-round calls, and every interviewer judges candidates a little differently. AI interview software removes the scheduling bottleneck by making interviews asynchronous, and it removes scoring drift by applying the same AI rubric to everyone. The result is a faster, more consistent, and more defensible top-of-funnel process. Criba focuses specifically on this screening stage rather than trying to replace your whole applicant tracking system, so it slots into the workflow you already have.

Why teams choose AI interview software

Interview every applicant

Asynchronous interviews mean you are no longer limited by calendar slots. Every qualified applicant gets a fair first round, not just the first ten who replied.

Consistent AI scoring

Each answer is scored against the same rubric with the reasoning shown, so your shortlist is based on evidence instead of gut feel or interview fatigue.

Faster time-to-hire

Replace days of scheduling and screening calls with a single link. Candidates respond on their own time and you get ranked results almost immediately.

Less bias, more structure

Structured questions and uniform scoring reduce the inconsistency that creeps into unstructured phone screens, helping you defend every hiring decision.

A better candidate experience

Candidates interview whenever suits them, from any device, with no back-and-forth emails. Strong applicants stay engaged instead of dropping out.

Evidence you can review

Every score links back to the candidate's actual answer and transcript, so hiring managers can verify the AI and make the final call with full context.

How Criba's AI interview software works

    Describe the role or pick from a template. Criba generates structured interview questions and a scoring rubric tied to what the job actually requires.

  2. Share one interview link

    Send a single link by email, job board, or QR code. Candidates complete the AI interview asynchronously from any device, with no account or scheduling needed.

  3. Let AI score and rank

    As candidates finish, Criba transcribes their answers, scores each against your rubric, and ranks the pipeline so the strongest candidates surface first.

  4. Review and advance the best

    Open any candidate to see scores, reasoning, and full transcripts. Advance your shortlist to a human interview with the context already gathered.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI interview software?

AI interview software lets candidates complete a structured interview asynchronously while AI transcribes, summarizes, and scores their answers against a consistent rubric. It automates first-round screening so recruiters can focus on the strongest applicants instead of scheduling and conducting repetitive calls.

Is AI interview software fair to candidates?

When designed well, it is often fairer than ad hoc phone screens. Every candidate answers the same structured questions and is scored against the same rubric, which reduces the inconsistency of unstructured interviews. Criba shows the reasoning behind each score and links it to the candidate's actual answer, so humans can verify results and make the final decision.

Does AI interview software replace human interviews?

No. Criba automates the high-volume first round so your team only spends live interview time on candidates who have already cleared a consistent, evidence-based screen. Hiring managers always make the final hiring decision.

How is Criba different from video interview platforms like HireVue or Spark Hire?

Many video interview platforms focus on recording and storing interviews. Criba focuses on screening: it scores and ranks every candidate automatically against a rubric and surfaces a shortlist with reasoning, so you are not left watching dozens of recordings to find the strong ones.

How quickly can I start using AI interview software?

You can create a role, generate questions, and share an interview link in minutes. Criba is free to start, so you can run a real screening round before committing to a paid plan.

What kinds of roles work best with AI interviews?

AI interviews work especially well for high-volume and early-career hiring, customer-facing roles, and any pipeline where you receive far more applicants than you can manually screen. They are ideal whenever consistency and speed matter in the first round.
