A first-round interview with every candidate, without a phone call
The candidates your screening left you with each get an email link to a written interview. Aria asks the key checks first, then your questions one at a time, and you read the results instead of making twenty-minute calls.
An AI interview in Alert Hire is a written first-round interview a candidate does in a web page, in their own time. It says it is an AI before the first question, asks the key checks the agency set (right to work, notice, location, salary), then the role’s questions one at a time, and gives the recruiter a ranked summary with every score backed by a quote from the candidate’s own answer.
Try it
Sit the interview as the candidate
Five questions for a junior accountant role, in the candidate’s screens. A real interview also asks your key checks first and can follow up on a vague answer, and it sends each answer as the candidate moves on, so there is no going back to edit as there is here. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

What the candidate sees
Quick checks first, then your questions
The email link opens a page that works on a phone or a computer. Aria introduces itself as an AI working with your named recruiter, asks the key checks as a tap or a number, then your questions one at a time.
There is no timer and no app to install. A candidate can start on their lunch break and finish that evening; the link stays open for as many days as you set, with up to three email reminders before it closes, if you want them.
How the interview runs
The questions your first call asks, in writing
Key checks first
Right to work, notice, location, salary, a licence: the facts a first call confirms, each with the answer that passes. They are marked by your rule, not by the AI, so the same answer always gets the same mark.
Your questions, one at a time
Aria drafts them from your job ad, and you edit them per role. It is written, so a candidate can think before answering instead of being put on the spot.
A follow-up when it is vague
When an answer says what “the team” did, or leaves out the result, Aria asks one short follow-up for what the candidate did themselves. It asks at most one per question.
What it does and does not do
It asks the questions, and nothing more
The interview asks the checks and questions you set, in order, with a short follow-up where an answer needs one. It does not reject anyone, negotiate on your behalf or promise an outcome.
A candidate who would rather not continue can say so on the interview page, and the recruiter is told directly.
Flagged in the report and sorted to the bottom of the Interviews inbox. It never ends the interview and never rejects anyone on its own.
Noted in the report when most of an answer was pasted rather than typed, so you can weigh it. It does not change the score.
Improvise questions of its own, negotiate salary, or make a commitment on your behalf.
Told before the first question, every time. It does not pretend to be a person.
What you get back
A report you can read in a minute
The key checks and what the candidate answered, a short summary, then every score with the line from their own answer that earned it. Candidates are ranked best fit first, on every job and across all of them.
Each job shows how many interviews it has run and the consultant time they saved, from your own minutes per call and hourly cost. How ranking works.
Questions about the interview
Telling candidates they are talking to software is also what the regulator expects. The OAIC’s guidance on commercially available AI products puts transparency at the centre of using AI on personal information. What candidates are told about their data is on the candidate data page, and the general list of questions is on the home page. Anything else: admin@alertai.com.au.
Yes, before the first question. It says what it is and which recruiter it is working with before it asks anything.
Aria drafts them from your job ad, one for each thing the role needs, and you edit them before the role goes live. The key checks come from a short list you pick from or add to, each with the answer that passes.
No. The candidate finishes the interview as normal. The report shows the check and their answer, a must-have that did not pass is flagged, and they sort to the bottom of the Interviews inbox. What happens next is your call.
By email, with their own link. You add them from a pasted list, a CSV or their CVs, or they leave a name and email on the job’s interview link in your auto-reply. Either way the interview only goes to the inbox they gave.
Not yet. Every interview is written today, which suits a considered answer and needs no app or phone signal. Voice interviews are coming; they are not available yet.
