Available Interview Settings

​

Conversation Settings

​

Voice

Select the caller’s accent, name, or gender profile, adapting to the candidate’s language when Multilingual is enabled.

​

Language

• Defines which language the interview is conducted in.
• Options:
  • Multilingual: Automatically translates between supported languages based on the candidate’s responses, defaulting to the language of the screening questions.
  • Candidate Choice: Allow candidate to select the language of their video interview interface before the call, adjusting the language displayed in the video portal and the language the interview will be conducted in. For phone calls, this setting will behave like multilingual.
  • Specific language: The AI will only respond in the selected language. For best performance, you should write your screening questions in that language if only one is selected, else there will be a mismatch between the language the candidate is expected to speak and the interview the agent is configured to deliver. If the candidate speaks a different language than selected, this will not be transcribed and the interviewer will continue to conduct the interview in the configured language.

​

Limit Interviewer Languages

Optionally limit which languages the interviewer can use by specifying allowed languages if multilingual or candidate choice is selected. If candidate chocie is selected for video interviews, the candidate will only be able to choose between the languages in this limited list.

​

AI Caller Name

Set the display name of the AI caller shown to candidates (this will default to “Morgan” if not selected).

​

AI Interviewer Responsiveness

Control how frequently the interviewer follows up on candidate responses, from “To the point” to “Inquisitive” or a custom level. “Conversational” is a safe default for most interviews.

​

Professionalism

Choose whether the AI speaks in a more casual conversational style or a more formal professional tone.

​

Boosted Transcription Keywords

Improve transcription by adding up to 20 job-specific keywords or phrases the AI should recognize more reliably. This can help improve performance for tough to transcribe words or acronyms. If you see a consistently mis-transcribed word, it is a good idea to add it to the boosted keywords.

​

Outreach Settings

​

Call Type for Applicants

Select whether applicant candidates receive phone calls and sms messages, or a link to a video interview sent via email. Some additional settings are dependent on the call type.

​

Call Type for Sourced Candidates

Select whether sourced candidates receive phone or video calls, optionally matching the applicant call type.

• Recommendation: Customers see better performance with phone calls for sourced candidates, as most candidates who did not recently apply are more likely to respond to an sms or pick up the phone for a quick call than click on an emailed invitation to a job.

​

Use the same messaging as applicants

Choose whether sourced candidates should use the same call intro / SMS / email messaging as applicants. If not enabled, sourced candidates will receive messaging optimized for non-applicants.

​

Outreach Hours

Define when the AI is allowed to call or text candidates, including weekday/weekend windows.
