Recruiter Makes Better Decisions

Review a summary, not raw transcripts

What happens before the interview even starts

A recruiter sends a scoped, time-bound link tied to a specific role and candidate. When the candidate opens it, Skillytal runs identity and device checks before any question is asked — confirming camera and microphone access, checking the environment, and preparing the session so the interview itself starts clean.

From there, the AI selects a format: a live conversational interview, a structured technical set, or a mix of both, depending on how the role was configured.

What happens while the candidate is answering

As the candidate speaks or types, Skillytal is already working — the AI is choosing adaptive follow-up questions based on what was just said, while audio, vision, and behavioral signals are captured in parallel. Nothing here waits for the session to end.

Every response is scored the moment it's complete, across technical depth, communication, and problem-solving, then rolled into the growing evaluation for that candidate.

What happens after the last question

Once the assessment ends, the AI evaluation engine combines every scored response and every observed signal into a single candidate report — technical skills, communication, problem-solving, behavioral signals, and integrity signals, all in one place.

The report is generated automatically, with no manual scoring step required from the recruiter.

What a recruiter actually does with it

Instead of reading a full transcript, the recruiter opens a structured summary: an overall score, a breakdown by dimension, an AI-written summary of strengths and gaps, and any integrity signals worth a closer look.

That's the shift — from hours of manual review per candidate to minutes of structured comparison across all of them.

From Raw Data to Decision

Every stage, connected

The same nine-stage pipeline runs behind every assessment, regardless of format.

1

Candidate Interaction

The candidate's session opens after identity and device checks pass.

2

Questions

The AI selects or adapts each question based on role and prior answers.

3

Answers

Spoken, written, or selected responses are captured the moment they're given.

4

Audio Signals

Pace, pauses, and speech consistency are extracted from the response.

5

Vision Signals

Camera-based observations are processed on-device where supported.

6

Behavior Signals

Interaction and timing patterns are tracked across the full session.

7

Assessment Performance

Each answer is scored per question against the role's rubric.

8

AI Evaluation

All scored dimensions and signals are weighed together, not in isolation.

9

Candidate Intelligence Report

Everything above compiles into one report built for a hiring decision.

I'd start by reading the diff for anything touching shared state or edge cases the tests don't cover, then trace the logic against a few boundary inputs by hand. If I still can't reproduce it, I'd ask the author for the specific scenario that raised the concern before approving...

For Recruiters

What a hiring team actually does with the report

The report isn't the end of the process — it's what makes the next step faster. Here's how it fits into a day-to-day hiring workflow.

Compare candidates side by side

Every candidate is scored on the same dimensions, so shortlisting is a comparison, not a re-read

Cut review time per candidate

A structured summary replaces reading a full transcript question by question

Standardize the evaluation bar

The same rubric is applied to every candidate for a role, reducing reviewer-to-reviewer variance

Flag concerns before the offer stage

Integrity and skill gaps surface in the report itself, not after a candidate has already advanced
