Platform · Video Interviews · TalentScreen

Two interviewers, same candidate, opposite recommendations.

Unstructured early-careers interviews land at 47% inter-rater reliability — about the level you’d expect from a coin flip, weighted slightly. Add AI-prepped candidates who all sound like senior managers, and the structured panel that worked in 2019 is now a hiring rounding error. TalentScreen is the platform that fixes the interview, with explainable AI scoring per question.

What it does

The interview, made structured again.

We didn’t replace the human interview — the human interview has unique signal an algorithm can’t replicate. We replaced the unstructured-by-default version with a structured, scored, calibrated one.

Competency-rubric question banks

Validated question banks per competency, mapped to role-family success profiles. Same questions for every candidate per role; calibrated panel rubrics across geographies and languages.

01 · Structure

Explainable AI scoring per question

Per-question AI scoring with full explainability — the rubric criteria each score was anchored on, the language patterns it picked up, the panel anchor it calibrated against. No black-box ML; every score decomposes back to evidence.

02 · AI scoring

Calendar-free async by default

Candidates record at a time that works for them; interviewers review when they have time. Removes the worst single bottleneck in graduate hiring — senior-interviewer calendar availability. Live mode available where the role demands it.

03 · Async

Inter-rater drift monitoring

Real-time alert when an interviewer is scoring outside their cohort’s pattern. Live recalibration suggestions. Particularly useful for panels that include junior interviewers or new joiners.

04 · Drift

AI-prep detection (92% accuracy)

Detection of AI-prepped responses across the platform, validated against an annotated test corpus. Doesn’t auto-reject — flags the response for senior-panel review and shows what the AI substitution patterns look like.

05 · AI-flag

Adverse impact per interviewer

Four-fifths-rule monitoring at the interviewer level, not just cohort. Identifies interviewers whose scoring patterns produce systematic adverse impact — usually fixable with calibration coaching.

06 · Fairness
How it works

From shortlist to scored evidence, in four steps.

  1. Step 01

    Configure the panel

    Pick a competency rubric per role; calibrate the panel against benchmark responses; set fairness thresholds and drift alerts. Takes a senior practitioner about 40 minutes per role family.

  2. Step 02

    Invite candidates async

    Candidates receive a TalentScreen invite, record at a time that works for them, and submit. No calendar coordination; no senior-interviewer bottleneck.

  3. Step 03

    Explainable AI scoring

    Each response is scored per question against the rubric, with full audit trail of the criteria the score was anchored on. Panel reviews evidence, not raw video.

  4. Step 04

    Panel decisioning

    Panel reviews evidence, drift-monitor alerts and adverse-impact flags. Hire decision sits with humans; the platform gives them better evidence to make it on.
