In this article, we showcase an AI Interviewer developed at ELEKS to accelerate technical interviews for software engineers. By automating initial screening rounds, companies can reduce time-to-hire and allow hiring managers to focus on the most qualified candidates.
Candidates can also use this technology to practice their interview skills. The AI agents were designed to listen and respond in a human-like manner. Below, we share insights from our team on how we made this possible.
What powers the AI interviewer: Azure-based architecture and technology stack
Azure’s built-in artificial intelligence and data tools help create secure, high-performing solutions. With strong compliance and security, identity management, and data privacy controls, the platform delivers reliable performance in every deployment. This makes it a great choice for universities, recruitment platforms, and corporate training.
This system uses LiveKit for real-time audio and video. Additionally, the Silero Voice Activity Detection (VAD) model allows the AI to identify the exact moment when to listen and when to respond, so users can speak without interruptions.
GPT-based models are accessed via Azure OpenAI Service to support seamless language processing and context-aware dialogue. These models deliver tailored responses and generate objective post-interview summaries. Together, these components create an adaptive environment that combines real-time interaction with a robust cloud infrastructure for a professional interview experience.
Testing phase and further development
The AI Interviewer is currently in the testing phase phase. We continue to collaborate with corporate partners to test the conversation quality and feedback mechanisms. Based on this input, we redefine AI personas and dashboards to prepare them for a broader launch.
The technology streamlines hiring by conducting consistent, unbiased screenings at scale. Companies can evaluate more candidates quickly, reduce interviewer workload, and maintain assessment quality.
The roadmap moves toward a sophisticated model driven by artificial intelligence that uses multiple input streams. Facial expression analysis and communication pattern tracking will further boost assessment accuracy, helping clients find top talent faster.
