Traditional mock interview services often suffer from limitations such as a restricted number of evaluators and highly subjective, inconsistent feedback. To address these issues, this proposal introduces a platform that is both candidate-friendly and recruiter-efficient. Candidates can easily browse job postings, upload their CVs and resumes, and participate in AI-powered mock interviews designed to improve their confidence and preparedness. On the other hand, recruiters can create and manage job listings, review candidate responses, track applications, and even conduct AI-assisted mock interviews when needed. The system integrates features such as automated resume parsing, adaptive question generation, real- time performance analytics, and clear visualizations. These tools help identify the most suitable candidates by providing data- driven, evidence-based insights. Overall, the platform enhances candidate readiness while streamlining the entire shortlisting and recruitment workflow.

significant challenges during the hiring process. Traditional mock interview services often suffer from limitations such as a restricted number of evaluators and highly subjective, inconsistent feedback. To address these issues, this proposal introduces a platform that is both candidate-friendly and recruiter-efficient. Candidates can easily browse job postings, upload their CVs and resumes, and participate in AI-powered mock interviews designed to improve their confidence and preparedness. On the other hand, recruiters can create and manage job listings, review candidate responses, track applications, and even conduct AI-assisted mock interviews when needed. The system integrates features such as automated resume parsing, adaptive question generation, real- time performance analytics, and clear visualizations. These tools help identify the most suitable candidates by providing data- driven, evidence-based insights. Overall, the platform enhances candidate readiness while streamlining the entire shortlisting and recruitment workflow.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"AI Powered Platform for Interview Simulation Candidate Evaluation andRecruitment Workflow Optimization","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-12-12 21:00:43","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7951657/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"6abb1173-4d01-4092-a25b-4d35866982bf","owner":[],"postedDate":"December 12th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-03-05T14:41:15+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-12-12 21:00:43","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7951657","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7951657","identity":"rs-7951657","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
