What CQ Interview is

NOT A CHATBOT

A real interview. Not a chatbot with a webcam.

1

Live, two-way video conversation

Candidates see CQ on screen. It asks role-specific questions, listens to the actual answer, probes inconsistencies, and adapts its next question in real time. Available 24/7, in 20+ languages.

2

Structured competency evaluation

Every response maps to validated dimensions — Decision Quality, Communication, Problem Solving, Stakeholder Management, Role Readiness — plus role-specific functional depth. Structured interview methodology, not sentiment analysis.

3

Full explainability, zero black boxes

"Scored 92 because they identified the scalability flaw in Q3 before being prompted. Deducted for limited evidence of upward conflict resolution in Q5." Reasoning you can read, share, and challenge.

4

Anti-fraud, built in

Real-time detection of coaching, scripted responses, and proxy interviews. Integrity flags surface on the scorecard with evidence — never a silent auto-rejection.

02

Output

MINUTES AFTER SESSION END

What every session delivers.

1

Competency scorecard

Five dimensions scored 0–100, ranked against role benchmarks. Decision-ready at a glance.

2

Logic breakdown

Every score explained with reasoning tied to specific answers. No black boxes, ever.

3

Video + transcript

Full recording with timestamps. Key response clips surfaced automatically for human review.

4

Intelligence signals

Structured data powering matching, drop-off prediction, and offer-risk intelligence downstream.

03

Candidate experience

RESPECT = BRAND

Candidates finish knowing where they stand.

The worst part of hiring is the silence. CQ interviews on the candidate's schedule, adapts to their pace, and can return a structured skill breakdown afterward — selected or not. A process that respects candidates protects your employer brand.

1

24/7 self-scheduling — no back-and-forth, no timezone friction

2

Interviews in the candidate's comfort language, no language penalty

3

Adaptive pacing: space to think, no cut-offs, no trick questions

4

Optional structured feedback to every interviewed candidate
