AI-Conducted Interviews

Lira conducts fully autonomous interviews — deploying a bot to a Google Meet call, asking structured questions, evaluating candidates, and producing scored reports.

Overview​

Traditional interviews are expensive, inconsistent, and hard to scale. Lira solves this by:

  • Conducting interviews without a human interviewer present
  • Asking structured, role-specific questions generated by AI
  • Following up intelligently based on candidate responses
  • Producing a scored evaluation report with detailed feedback
  • Supporting multi-round interview tracking

Interview Modes​

How It Works​

1. Create an Interview​

Define the role, required skills, evaluation criteria, and number of questions. Upload the candidate's resume (PDF) for Lira to review.

2. Schedule or Deploy​

  • Immediate — Deploy the bot to a Google Meet link now
  • Scheduled — Set a future date/time; the background scheduler auto-deploys the bot

3. Interview Session​

Lira joins the call, introduces herself, and conducts the interview:

  • Asks structured questions tailored to the role
  • Adapts follow-up questions based on answers
  • Manages time and question flow
  • Thanks the candidate at the end

4. Evaluation​

After the session, Lira produces:

  • Overall score (1-10)
  • Per-criteria scores — Technical skills, communication, problem-solving, culture fit
  • Detailed feedback — Strengths, areas of concern, notable responses
  • Recommendation — Hire, consider, or pass

Resume Parsing​

Upload candidate PDFs and Lira extracts structured data using GPT-4o-mini:

  • Full name
  • Contact information
  • Work experience (companies, roles, dates)
  • Education
  • Technical skills
  • Certifications

This data is used to personalize interview questions and evaluation.

Auto-Scheduler​

Interviews scheduled for a future time are automatically started by a background polling service:

Scheduler checks every 60 seconds
  → Finds interviews where scheduledAt ≤ now AND status = "scheduled"
  → Deploys the bot to the Google Meet link
  → Updates status to "in-progress"

No manual intervention needed — just schedule and forget.
