What Aeviya brings to your screening process
Aeviya connects the initial interview to the shortlist your hiring team needs. Here is how that works in practice.
- 1
Define what a strong candidate looks like
Set the skills and competencies that matter for the role. Aeviya uses those criteria to structure the interview and evaluate responses, giving your team a common basis for comparison.
- 2
Get candidate responses before the next recruiter conversation
Qualified applicants complete structured interviews in text, voice, or video. Interviews are available around the clock, so your team can gather responses without arranging an initial call for each candidate.
- 3
Review a shortlist with the reasoning behind it
Aeviya ranks candidates against your criteria and provides supporting rationale. Activate the finalists you want to review, then use their evaluations to prepare focused follow-up conversations.
A hiring workflow in practice
Example: screening for a customer support role
Suppose your team receives 100 applications and wants to evaluate customer communication, problem solving, and relevant experience. You define those criteria in Aeviya, bring in applicants, and invite qualified candidates to a structured AI interview. Aeviya ranks completed evaluations with supporting rationale. Your team chooses which finalists to activate for human review and which questions to explore next.
What your team reviews
For each finalist, your team can review the evaluation scores and the rationale behind them before the next conversation. In this example, the interviewer might ask candidates to explain how they handled a frustrated customer. The team can then explore the response in more detail during a human interview. This is an illustrative workflow, not a customer case study or measured outcome.
