AI Candidate Screening for Internships and Graduates
Internship and graduate programmes attract thousands of applicants with little work history, within a short window each year. Recruiters cannot tell candidates apart from their CVs, and meeting everyone is impossible. Passisto Hire gives every applicant a structured voice interview about motivation and potential, and gives recruiters a report for each one.
The challenges
A big wave in a short window
Applications arrive in campaigns tied to the academic calendar, and recruiters have a few weeks to screen them all.
CVs that look alike
With little or no work experience, candidates have similar CVs, so grades and schools end up deciding instead of motivation and potential.
Candidates who are busy with studies
Applicants are in class or exams, so scheduled calls are hard to arrange and many drop out of the process.
Judging potential, not experience
Curiosity, learning speed and the ability to explain what they have learned in projects matter more than a past job.
How it works
- 1
Set up the programme and its interview
Start from the programme: internship, work-study, graduate scheme or summer job. The template covers motivation, projects, learning attitude and availability.
- 2
Applicants interview between classes
Each candidate opens a secure link in their browser, from their phone or laptop, evening or weekend included. Nothing to install.
- 3
Recruiters read comparable reports
Each interview produces scores and key answers, so recruiters compare hundreds of candidates on the same criteria.
- 4
People decide
The team chooses who to invite to assessment days and final interviews. The AI never decides.
Examples of questions the AI agent asks
- Why this field, and why this internship or programme in particular?
- Tell me about a school or personal project you carried out and what you learned from it.
- Describe a time you worked in a group when things did not go as planned.
- When can you start, for how long, and what are your constraints with your studies?
- What do you want to learn in this first experience?
What you get
Every applicant is heard
Candidates are not filtered on school name or grades alone: everyone gets a real conversation.
A good first experience of the brand
Students receive a real answer and a modern process, which helps employer branding on campuses.
Less time on first calls
Recruiters spend their time on finalists and school relations rather than on hundreds of short calls.
Fairer comparison
The same questions are asked to all candidates, which makes it easier to compare people with similar CVs.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for candidates with no experience?
Yes. The questions focus on motivation, projects, learning and attitude, not on a work history that young candidates do not yet have.
Can schools or career centres use it with their students?
Passisto Hire is built for employers' recruitment. Schools follow their own students through Passisto Students, which is a separate solution.
Who makes the decision?
People do. Recruiters and programme managers review the reports and decide who to invite next.
