How Interviews Work

Interviews can be conducted in two ways, determined by how the expert accesses the interview:

Phone Interviews

The AI agent calls into a dial-in number to conduct the interview. Requirements:

  • Valid dial-in phone number configured

  • Meeting ID for the call

  • The expert joins via their regular phone/conference line

Web Interviews

Expert joins via a browser link. Requirements:

  • Share the interview link with the expert

  • Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

  • Microphone access
