Karat's Interview Summary feature provides an AI-generated snapshot of the candidate’s performance—highlighting key strengths, areas for improvement, and additional context into how the interview outcome was determined.
Example interview summary
What is the Interview Summary?
The Interview Summary is an AI-generated recap that provides a quick, high-level overview of a candidate’s performance in a technical interview. It highlights strengths, notes areas for improvement, and offers context on how the outcome was determined—all in a concise, easy-to-read format.
How is the Interview Summary generated?
The Interview Summary is generated by AI using structured feedback provided by the interviewer—such as ratings, notes, and signal checkboxes. The AI organizes this information into a concise, objective summary of the candidate’s performance.
It’s important to note that the AI does not have any impact on the interview outcome—it simply summarizes the feedback provided by the interviewer.
How should I use the Interview Summary?
Use the Interview Summary as a quick, high-level snapshot to understand how the interview went. This summary is helpful for getting a general overview, but always prioritize the overall score and outcome as your primary source of truth when making decisions.
For the most informed decisions, consider the full set of performance data and artifacts, including the overall score, the Interview Summary, performance benchmarks, assessment area scores, and full interview playback.
FAQs
Does AI used in the Interview Summary impact the candidate's score or outcome?
No. AI does not have any impact on the interview outcome—it simply summarizes the feedback provided by the interviewer.
Why isn't the Interview Summary appearing?
Occasionally, the Interview Summary may not display alongside the interview results. This can occur as part of our quality assurance process, where we verify that the summary is both accurate and relevant.
Since the feature is still in beta, we're constantly working to enhance its performance. If you'd like to have the summary regenerated, please contact Karat, and we'll be happy to assist you.
If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
