Glossary — AI interview terminology
This glossary is a plain-language reference for terms that come up across modern AI interviewing. Each definition is kept short and concrete; the mechanics, practical hiring implications, and related concepts live on dedicated entry pages. The set is meant for both HR teams and candidate-side readers, with cross-links to academic sources and the relevant areas of the Intrvio platform itself.
