Overview

Interviewer Prep is a short message the AI Companion sends you before an interview. It reaches you where you already work — email — with the essentials also on the calendar invite (such as candidate’s resume PDF, a candidate snapshot with a profile link, the role, a few suggested focus areas with a starter question each, and a one-tap link to join). It gives you a quick sense of who you're meeting, the role, a few suggested areas to focus on with a starter question for each, and a link to join the interview.

The AI Companion has assisted interviewers during and after interviews; Interviewer Prep extends that to before the interview, with a short prepared message in the tools you already use.

Why it matters

• Walk in prepared. A quick, glanceable brief means you're not skimming a resume in the last two minutes before the call.
• No extra tool to check. The prep reaches you where you already work, so there's nothing new to open.
• Grounded in this interview. The suggested focus areas come from this round's feedback form and the candidate's profile, so they reflect what this round is actually for.

How it works

1. You're added as an interviewer on an interview that uses the AI Companion.
2. Before the interview — a heads-up the day before and a reminder shortly before it starts — the prep message arrives where you already work.
3. The message opens with a candidate snapshot — name and last role — and a link to the full candidate profile.
4. It names the role and a few suggested focus areas for this round, each with a starter question you can use or adapt.
5. Open the candidate profile from the link to go deeper, then use the join link to enter the interview when it's time.

FAQs

Where do the focus areas and questions come from?

They're AI-generated — treat them as suggestions to consider, not a script.

Do I need to turn anything on?

No. Your organization enables the AI Companion and this prep message for you. As an interviewer, you just receive it before your interviews.

The message didn't include a starter question for one area. Why?

The prep is grounded in the interview's own sources. When a source doesn't clearly support something, the companion leaves it out rather than making it up.

Why didn't I get a prep message for one of my interviews?

Prep is sent for interviews that use the AI Companion and have a feedback form attached to the round. It isn't sent if the interview is cancelled or declined, if the candidate opts out of the AI Companion, or if the companion is removed before it would have gone out.
