How the AI Interviewer Works

Understand how Whirl's AI interviewer generates questions, follows up, and adapts to your answers.

How the AI Interviewer Works

Whirl's AI interviewer is designed to simulate a real hiring manager as closely as possible.

Question Generation

The AI generates questions based on:

• Your job title and interview stage
• The job description you provided (if any)
• Your resume content (if uploaded)
• The difficulty level you selected

This means every session is unique and tailored to your specific situation.

Follow-Up Questions

Just like a real interviewer, Whirl's AI will ask follow-up questions based on your answers. If your answer is brief, it may prompt for more detail. If you mention something interesting, it may explore that further.

Interviewer Styles

• Friendly — Warm, encouraging tone. Great for beginners.
• Neutral — Professional and balanced. Closest to a standard interview.
• Challenging — Tough follow-ups and pressure. Best for experienced candidates.

Interview Stages

| Stage | Focus | |-------|-------| | Screening | Basic fit, background, motivation | | Technical | Skills, problem-solving, domain knowledge | | Behavioral | STAR-method stories, soft skills | | Hiring Manager | Culture, leadership, goals | | Panel | Mixed questions from multiple angles | | Executive | Vision, strategy, leadership |

Session Length

Sessions are open-ended. You decide when you're done by ending the interview from the chat interface.
