Structure does not mean robotic
A good structured interview asks comparable questions and scores comparable evidence. It can still include follow-ups when an answer is incomplete or unusually strong.
GAIA uses the interview plan as a boundary: same competency map, same scoring anchors, and controlled probes that seek evidence without drifting into unrelated topics.
Why teams use structured AI interviews
When many candidates enter the same funnel, manual first-round interviews often vary by interviewer energy, calendar pressure, and unconscious preference.
Structured AI interviews reduce that variance. Recruiters get comparable reports, hiring managers see the underlying quotes, and candidates receive a clearer process.
Audit-ready by design
Each score is easier to review when it is linked to transcript evidence. Intrvio preserves that link so a hiring team can challenge, calibrate, or override the AI output.
That audit trail matters for internal fairness reviews and for regulated hiring environments where employers need to explain how AI was used.
