Is this fair? Here’s exactly how you’re evaluated.
You’re evaluated on specific, job-relevant skills you demonstrate during the interview, not your resume, your appearance, or who you remind someone of. A person reviews your results before any decision is made. Here’s what that actually involves, step by step.
How It Works, Step by Step
Every step, on the record.
You should be able to see exactly what happens at each step of your interview, not just take our word for it.
Step 1
Consent
You’re asked to join an interview and give your consent before it starts.
Step 2
Answer
You respond to questions tied to specific skills for the job, some may include follow-up questions generated based on what you just said.
Step 3
Review
Afterward, a person reviews your results.
Step 4
Decide
Nothing about your candidacy is decided automatically.
- Join interview with Acme Co.?
- I consent to this interview being used for my evaluation
Tell me about a time you solved a problem under a tight deadline.
Follow-up generated- Responses reviewed
- Evidence checked against the skill
- Notes added by reviewer
Your Consent, Captured Once
Consent is captured the first time you click to join an interview. That same consent is stored and reused for later rounds, so you won’t be asked to re-consent every time you speak with this employer through S9 InnerView.
A person reviews your results and makes the final call, not the system. If something about your evaluation seems off, there’s a person accountable for that decision, not an algorithm making it alone.
One Standard Across Every Round
If you interview with this employer more than once, you’re not being measured against a different bar each time. The same skill definition, locked before your first interview, is what every round is scored against, whether you’re speaking with the same person again or someone new. Nothing shifts between rounds. Nothing resets.
Frequently asked questions
Specific skills relevant to the job you applied for, shown through what you actually say and do during the conversation. Your resume, appearance, accent, and background play no part in your score.
You’re asked to consent before your first interview begins. That consent covers how your interview is used to support your evaluation, and it’s reused for later rounds with the same employer rather than collected again each time.
Yes. If the interview format doesn’t work for you, reach out and we’ll work with you directly to find a format that does, nothing about the process is fixed to a single format that everyone has to use.
Have a question about your interview that isn’t answered here?
Still here? Respect.

Take five, here's something to listen to that isn't a cue card.
