We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of Interview Intelligence (IIQ), Criteria’s pioneering interview solution that sets a new standard for how companies evaluate talent. Built at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and 20 years of organizational science, IIQ is the first solution of its kind that can instantly score video interviews with expert-level accuracy. Interview Intelligence provides recruiters and hiring teams with a powerful, bias-reducing, and scalable way to identify top talent.
What Is Interview Intelligence (IIQ)?
Interview Intelligence combines a suite of AI-powered features designed to supercharge Criteria’s Structured Interviewing platform. These enhancements apply to our Video Interviewing solution and include:
- Automated Interview Scoring
- Interview Transcriptions and Summaries
- AI-Assisted Question Creation
- Customizable Evaluation Guides
The flagship feature, instant scoring of video interviews, uses state-of-the-art, model-agnostic AI trained with thousands of expert-reviewed transcripts. The result? Interview scoring that’s as accurate at candidate review as an expert I/O psychologist, delivered in real time.
IIQ blends brilliant science with the latest technology to give you the strongest talent signal on the market – a reliable way for you to identify top talent from the start of your hiring process.
This isn't just an efficiency upgrade - IIQ is a hiring revolution.
Why IIQ Matters
For too long, structured interviews have been hard for companies to execute at scale. Despite the predictive strength of structured interviewing, the foundation hiring teams needed to lay was often too heavy of a lift, from selecting interview questions to determining grading scales. Human reviewers can sometimes be inconsistent, time-strapped, and often unconsciously biased.
Even though asynchronous video interviewing offers flexibility for candidates and saves interviewers from a day of wall-to-wall interviews, setting aside time to review each candidate eats into valuable time. Reviewers still have to sift through each interview manually, leading to an evaluation bottleneck. IIQ eliminates this manual activity, pushing the candidates with the strongest fit to the top of your shortlist instantly.
IIQ changes the game by:
- Eliminating visual and audio bias, with scoring based solely on the transcript of the interview itself
- Standardizing candidate evaluation across the board, reducing human bias and increasing objectivity and fairness in candidate review
- Freeing recruiters from time-consuming video interview playback by automatically ranking top candidates so interviewers know who to prioritize
- Delivering stronger and more predictive talent signals that are based on science, not gut feelings
And it’s not just faster. It’s fairer, smarter, and more scalable than traditional interview evaluation.
“Everything we build is designed to give our customers better outcomes – through stronger, more predictive talent signals. IIQ does exactly that. It’s accurate, it’s fast, and it’s the future of interviewing.”
Josh Millet, Criteria CEO
