INTERVIEW INTELLIGENCE

A copilot for the interviewer. Never for the candidate, never in their ear.

Pyro's interview copilot sits beside the human interviewer in Pyro's interview room. It keeps the question list, marks each question as it is asked, drafts follow-ups from the last answer and tracks which criteria are covered. Only the interviewer sees it, and it never speaks.

What is interview intelligence?

Interview intelligence is software that listens to an interview and turns it into structured evidence for the people deciding. Pyro does that live, in the room: the copilot works while the interview is happening, and it is built for the interviewer, not for a candidate looking for help.

HOW IT WORKS

One human round, start to finish.

  1. 01Arrive prepared

    The copilot opens with questions built for this candidate: from the role’s criteria, the CV, the gaps screening found, and what earlier rounds already asked, so nothing is asked twice.

  2. 02Consent first

    The candidate agrees to the session being transcribed before it starts. Without consent, the copilot stays off.

  3. 03Questions retire as you ask them

    When you ask a planned question, the copilot marks it as asked. You never lose your place, and you never ask the same thing twice.

  4. 04Follow-ups from the last answer

    When an answer is thin, the copilot drafts a follow-up for you to use or ignore. It suggests; you ask.

  5. 05Coverage, live

    The copilot tracks which criteria have been covered and which are still open, so the interview ends with no gaps you meant to close.

  6. 06A draft scorecard

    After the interview you get a draft scorecard with quotes and timestamps. There is no AI score on it: the ratings are yours.

THE EVIDENCE

What the interviewer sees.

The candidate sees an ordinary video interview. The interviewer sees this panel beside it: the plan, what has been asked, a follow-up drafted from the last answer, and what is still open.

TWO KINDS OF COPILOT

An interviewer copilot is not a cheating tool.

Search for "interview copilot" and most results are tools that whisper answers to candidates. Pyro's copilot is the opposite: it works for the interviewer, the candidate agrees to the session being transcribed, and it never feeds anyone an answer.

It is also more than a note-taker. A note-taker writes up the interview afterwards. The copilot works while the interview is happening, so the follow-up you needed arrives while you can still ask it.

THREE KINDS OF HELP

Interview guide, note-taker or copilot.

Tools that help interviewers fall into three groups. They are often sold under the same name, so it is worth knowing which is which.

  • An interview guide gives the interviewer a fixed list of questions and a rating scale before the call.
  • A note-taker records the interview and writes notes, a summary or a scorecard draft afterwards.
  • A live copilot works during the interview: it tracks what has been asked, drafts follow-ups from the last answer and shows which criteria are still open. Pyro’s copilot does that, and produces the draft scorecard afterwards too.
JOINED UP

The human round starts where the first round ended.

Most interview intelligence tools start cold: they hear the human round with no idea what came before. In Pyro, the copilot’s questions are built from the gaps screening found, the CV, the recruiters’ notes and the questions earlier rounds already asked, including ARIA’s first round.

And it ends in the same record: the draft scorecard, the transcript and the decision sit on the same timeline as the screening and the AI interview.

FOR INTERVIEWERS

What changes for the person asking the questions.

  • You arrive with questions built for this candidate, not a generic list.
  • You stay in the conversation instead of writing notes.
  • When an answer is vague, a follow-up is waiting for you to use or ignore.
  • You can see, live, which criteria you have covered and which are still open.
  • You leave with a draft scorecard full of quotes, and the ratings are yours to make.
FOR HIRING MANAGERS

Better interviews from people who do not interview every day.

Most interviews are run by people whose main job is something else. The copilot gives every interviewer the same structure, so the candidate is judged on the criteria, not on how practised the interviewer is.

STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS

The benefits of a structured interview, without the overhead.

Structured interviews, where every candidate is asked about the same criteria and rated on the same scale, have long been preferred in hiring research because the answers can be compared. Their weakness is effort: someone has to prepare the questions, keep track during the interview and write it all up afterwards.

The copilot takes that effort away. The questions are prepared for you, coverage is tracked while you talk, and the draft scorecard is written from the transcript. You keep the judgement.

FROM INTERVIEW TO DECISION

What happens after the call.

  • The draft scorecard arrives with quotes and timestamps for each criterion.
  • The interviewer confirms or changes each rating and adds their own notes.
  • The scorecard joins the same record as screening and ARIA’s first round.
  • The person who moves the candidate to the next stage is named on the record.
FAIR TO EVERYONE IN THE ROOM

Built so the human stays in charge.

  • The candidate agrees to the session being transcribed before it starts.
  • Only the interviewer sees the copilot. It never speaks to the candidate.
  • The copilot suggests questions; the interviewer decides what to ask.
  • There is no AI score on the scorecard. The ratings are the interviewer's.
  • Every stage move after the interview names the person who made it.
WHAT IT NEVER DOES

Four lines the copilot does not cross.

An interview is a conversation between people. The copilot is built to support the person asking the questions, never to take their place.

  • It never speaks to the candidate, and the candidate never sees it.
  • It never scores the candidate. The ratings are the interviewer’s.
  • It never decides. A person moves every candidate, and is named on the record.
  • It never runs without the candidate’s consent to transcription.
LIVE, NOT SCRIPTED

Help that follows the conversation.

A script breaks the moment a candidate says something unexpected. The copilot follows what is actually said: when a planned question is answered early, it is marked as covered; when an answer opens something new, a follow-up appears for it.

The interviewer stays in control of the order, the tone and the questions. The copilot just makes sure nothing that matters is missed.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions to ask any interview intelligence vendor.

  1. 01Does it help during the interview, or only after?A follow-up is only useful while you can still ask it. Pyro's copilot works live.
  2. 02Does it know what earlier rounds found?Otherwise every round starts cold. Pyro’s copilot starts from what screening found and what earlier rounds asked.
  3. 03Does the candidate consent?Transcribing someone without asking is unfair, and often unlawful. Pyro asks first.
  4. 04Does it score the candidate?An AI score on a human interview undercuts the interviewer. Pyro's scorecard has no AI score.
  5. 05Where does it work?Ask before you buy. Pyro's copilot works in Pyro's own interview room, so there is nothing to install.

QUESTIONS

Asked often.

What is an interview copilot?

For Pyro, a copilot is a panel beside the human interviewer that keeps the question list, marks what has been asked, drafts follow-ups and tracks coverage during the interview.

Can the candidate see the copilot?

No. Only the interviewer sees it, and it never speaks to the candidate.

Is it the same as an AI note-taker?

No. A note-taker writes up the interview afterwards. The copilot works during it, and it also produces a draft scorecard with quotes afterwards.

Does it score the candidate?

No. The draft scorecard carries quotes and timestamps, and the ratings are the interviewer's.

Where does the copilot work?

In Pyro's own interview room, in the browser, beside the video call. There is nothing to install.

Do candidates have to agree?

Yes. The candidate agrees to the session being transcribed before it starts; without consent the copilot stays off.

How is it different from ARIA?

ARIA runs the first round on its own. The copilot helps a person run the human round. Both feed the same record.

Do interviewers need training to use the copilot?

Very little. The copilot shows the questions, marks them as asked and drafts follow-ups; the interviewer decides what to use.

Does the copilot record the interview?

The session is transcribed, with the candidate’s consent, so the copilot can follow the conversation and the draft scorecard can quote it.

What is the difference between interview intelligence and an interview guide?

An interview guide is a fixed list of questions prepared before the call. Interview intelligence follows the interview itself: Pyro’s copilot tracks what has been asked, drafts follow-ups and shows what is still open, live.

Does the copilot work for the first round too?

The first round is usually ARIA’s. The copilot is for rounds led by a person, and it starts from what earlier rounds already asked.

Is interview intelligence only for large companies?

No. Pyro has no per-seat licence, so a small agency or a startup can use the copilot on the interviews that matter most.

What does the interviewer see during the call?

The question list with what has been asked, a follow-up drafted from the last answer, and which criteria are covered or still open.

Can the interviewer edit the draft scorecard?

Yes. The draft is a starting point with quotes and timestamps. The interviewer confirms, changes or adds to every rating.

Does the copilot work for non-technical roles?

Yes. Its questions come from the role’s criteria, so a sales, operations or leadership role gets questions about that work.

How does the copilot know what to ask?

It builds its questions from the role’s criteria, the candidate’s CV, the gaps screening found and what earlier rounds already asked.

Where do the copilot’s notes go?

Into the draft scorecard, which joins the same record as screening and ARIA’s first round.

Does the copilot help with follow-up questions in other languages?

The copilot works in English today, like the rest of Pyro.
