Automated interview guides are structured interview templates built from your role requirements, complete with a job description, competency-based questions, and a weighted scorecard. VidCruiter's interview guide software uses AI to draft each element, then hands the output to your hiring team for review and editing before anything reaches a candidate. The result is a defensible hiring process that mitigates the impact of bias and improves hiring decisions. Automated interview guides connect directly to your structured interview process, interview questions library, and interview scorecards. VidCruiter’s video interview software is trusted by over 150,000 hiring professionals worldwide.

Cut Interview Prep Time

Better Candidate Experience
Automated interview guides give candidates a fair and consistent interview experience. Every applicant answers the same job-relevant questions and is evaluated against the same criteria, so no one is advantaged by interviewer rapport or chance. Questions focus on competencies and real work situations rather than trick questions or small talk. Because the process is structured, candidates understand what is being assessed and why. Automated interview guides work alongside VidCruiter's video interview software, so candidates can complete structured interviews on any device, in their own time zone, with the same consistent format throughout.
Who Should Use Automated Interview Guides?
Automated interview guides fit any team that runs multiple interviews and needs consistent, defensible decisions. They are most valuable for these hiring scenarios.
High-volume hiring teams
Teams filling many roles reuse generated guides and scorecards to keep every interview consistent at scale.
Public sector and regulated industries
Standardized questions and documented scorecards support compliant, auditable hiring decisions.
Enterprise teams with multiple interviewers
Balanced panels and shared criteria keep large interview teams aligned on the same standards.
Hybrid hiring teams
Distributed and in-office interviewers follow one structured guide, so location does not change the evaluation. VidCruiter also supports hybrid interviewing across your panels.

- Interview intelligence reports on scoring patterns across the panels a guide assigns.
- Guides apply to live, pre-recorded, and in-person interviews run through the interview management system.

Volume recruiting is just a different ball game, and many of our processes were manual and time-consuming. Recruiters simply didn't have enough hours in the day to properly vet all applications, schedule and conduct the number of interviews needed, and complete their administrative tasks consistently. We knew there was a better way.
