Beyond the resume

Hiring great teachers takes more than reading a CV.

Explainable AI scoring

An explainable teacher score — not a black box.

Every candidate receives a structured scorecard across professional skills, communication, pedagogy, subject knowledge, classroom management and safeguarding awareness. Each competency expands into a written AI explanation, so panels can see exactly why a candidate scored the way they did — with the recording and transcript one click away.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

Can AI assess teaching ability?
Interviewer.AI evaluates the observable signals that predict classroom success — communication, lesson-planning logic, subject explanations, reflection and safeguarding awareness — against a structured rubric. It doesn't replace a teaching demonstration; it tells you which candidates are worth one.
Can I customise interview questions?
Yes. Use the teacher question library as-is, edit it, or build your own per role and per school. Competencies, scoring rubrics and weightings are fully configurable.
Can we create interviews for Math, English or Science teachers?
Yes. Interviews can be subject-specific — asking candidates to explain concepts from their own curriculum area — with subject knowledge scored alongside pedagogy and communication.
Can we evaluate safeguarding knowledge?
Yes. Scenario-based questions probe safeguarding awareness and professional judgement, and every response is scored against the same criteria and recorded for review.
Can we assess English speaking ability?
Yes. Spoken responses are evaluated for fluency, grammar, clarity and articulation — essential for international schools and English-medium instruction.
Does Interviewer.AI support international curricula like IB, Cambridge and British Curriculum?
Yes. Question sets and rubrics can be aligned to IB, Cambridge, British, American and other curricula, so candidates are assessed against the standards your school actually teaches.
