Get your shortlist before the interview

You choose the questions, candidates record video answers whenever it suits them, and TestGorilla's AI scores each answer against a rubric. Your team reviews the scored responses side by side and shortlists from there. Every candidate answers the same questions, so the comparison is fair.

Our video questions use fixed questions that candidates answer in their own time, which suits high-volume screening. AI interviews uses an AI avatar / interviewer that asks dynamic follow-up questions in the moment, closer to a live screening call, which suits high-stakes roles. Both score answers against a structured criteria.

AI scores each answer against the rubric and explains its reasoning, but the hiring decision stays with you. You can edit or override any score. The AI speeds up review and keeps it consistent. It doesn't make the call.

Fairness comes from structure: every candidate gets the same questions and is scored against the same criteria, which removes the inconsistency of unstructured calls. TestGorilla's scoring is validated on hundreds of thousands of responses and is monitored with planned audits and prompt A/B tests that check for drift and bias. For the fairest picture, combine interviews with validated skills tests.

A recorded answer to a follow-up question is hard to script in advance, and the point isn't to catch people out — it's to see how a candidate reasons through a real problem out loud. Pairing interviews with skills tests gives a fuller, harder-to-game picture of what someone can actually do. Our Trust Layer also monitors for things like window switching, which gives a fuller picture of how a candidate is answering your questions.

TestGorilla's AI has scored hundreds of thousands of candidate profiles and is checked against over 21,000 expert benchmarks. Score the same answer twice and you get a result that's more than 99% identical — far steadier than human reviewers, whose scores shift with fatigue, mood, and order. It agrees with 150+ trained hiring specialists almost as closely as they agree with each other, and every score is explainable, editable, and built on a scientifically validated rubric.

Candidates get a friendly, role-specific introduction, then 3–9 structured questions tied to the skills that matter for the role. Clear instructions lower the pressure, and a closing note explains what happens next. They can complete it on their own time.

Yes. You can write your own interview questions, define what a good answer looks like, and save and reuse custom interviews across similar roles. The AI conducts the interview and scores against your criteria, with science-backed guardrails kept in place for fairness.
