InterviewAI: A Quantitative Evaluation of an AI-Powered Interview Simulation System for Job Applicants
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper addresses a critical software engineering challenge in applied AI: how to build transparent and auditable systems for high-stakes domains like employability training. The study presents InterviewAI, a voice-based web platform that simulates job interviews. Its core contribution is a novel software architecture that rigorously separates a generative Large Language Model (LLM) for question generation from a deterministic, rule-based engine for evaluation. This design directly counters the "black box" problem prevalent in end-to-end generative AI, ensuring that scoring is fair, traceable, and reproducible [5, 7].
