Savos Q&A: Your Questions, Answered Clearly

Your go-to reference for every question raised at the Savos launch - clear, structured, and built for deeper understanding. Real questions from our launch audience, answered by the Savos team to bring more clarity, context, and confidence.

AI Screening & Interview Guidance

How does Savos generate job-specific questions and guide interviewers during live interviews?

Savos analyzes the job description, resume, screening responses, and prior interview notes to generate deeply relevant, role-specific prompts in real time. During the interview, Savos surfaces key areas to explore, provides follow-up questions based on the candidate’s answers, and helps interviewers stay aligned on what matters most. Interviewers remain fully in control — Savos simply ensures structure, consistency, and depth in every conversation.

Does Savos conduct interviews on its own, or does it support interviewers during the process?

Savos does not replace your interviewers — it empowers them. The Candidate Agent handles chat-based screening, asking personalized questions much like a trained recruiter. The Hiring Manager Agent acts as a live co-pilot, offering contextual prompts, reminders, and summaries throughout the interview. Interviewers make the decisions; Savos ensures they always have clarity and context at their fingertips.

Does Savos work across virtual interviews, onsite interviews, and multi-interviewer sessions?

Yes. Savos supports virtual interviews today and is actively expanding its capabilities for onsite and multi-interviewer setups — including features like voice diarization to differentiate speakers. In multi-interviewer sessions, each interviewer receives the same structured view and prompt stream, ensuring aligned evaluations across the panel.

How important is it for interviewers or department heads to follow the suggested questions?

It’s not essential for interviewers to follow the suggested questions exactly. Savos recommends key areas to explore based on the job description, resume, initial screening, and previous interview rounds. While interviewers have full flexibility to ask their own questions, the prompts help ensure that critical competencies and role-specific insights are not overlooked.

By addressing these recommended areas, recruiters and hiring managers gain a deeper, more objective understanding of the candidate — but the final choice of questions always remains with the interviewer.

If I don’t follow the AI prompts during the live interview, will the candidate’s score be affected?

No. Savos’ prompts exist to guide the interviewer toward areas that may provide deeper insight — not to enforce a strict script. Interviewers are free to ignore or adapt the prompts at any point.

The candidate’s evaluation is based on their actual performance, responses, role requirements, and overall profile — not on whether the interviewer adhered to every suggested question.

Savos tracks the interview for context and auditability, but prompt deviation has no negative impact on the candidate’s score or recommendation.

Reporting, Scoring & Insights

What reporting and analytics capabilities does Savos offer for TA leaders?

Savos provides a unified reporting engine designed for both operational clarity and strategic decision-making.

It includes:

  • Role-based scorecards
  • Custom candidate reports
  • Interview insights & auditability
  • Candidate journey metrics
  • Drop-off analytics
  • Screening-to-hire funnel visibility
  • Aggregated dashboards for leaders

This gives TA leaders a complete view of hiring performance, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.

How does Savos score, compare, and stack-rank candidates across stages?

Savos generates a cumulative score for every candidate, updated continuously as they progress through screening and interviews.

Rankings consider:

  • The job description
  • Role-specific competencies
  • Screening and interview performance
  • Qualitative HM/recruiter feedback
  • Skill and experience alignment

This creates an objective, comparable, and transparent overview of every candidate in the pipeline.

How does Savos measure hiring success and efficiency improvements?

Savos is measured on outcomes that matter to TA teams, including:

  • Faster application-to-interview time
  • Improved interview-to-hire ratios
  • Reduction in interview rounds
  • Higher candidate engagement and completion rates
  • Lower drop-offs across the funnel
  • Reduced recruiter workload
  • Lower cost-per-hire

These metrics help teams quantify the ROI of agentic AI in their hiring process.

At the end of a Hiring Manager interview, does Savos only capture notes, or does it also support structured interview feedback?

Savos captures both. At the end of the interview, it not only generates an AI-driven summary of the conversation but also allows hiring managers to rate the candidate and provide qualitative feedback.

In Phase 1, the focus is on guided, structured interviews with real-time prompts, combined with clear note-taking and feedback capture to create a comprehensive, decision-ready evaluation record.

Integrations, Data Flow & ATS Compatibility

What ATS/CRM/VMS/LinkedIn integrations does Savos support?

Savos integrates with leading ATS and CRM platforms including SuccessFactors, Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse, Darwinbox, and more. It can import candidates automatically, trigger screenings, and synchronize data with minimal configuration.

For LinkedIn, Savos supports single-click apply flows using embedded links. If a VMS or CRM lacks APIs, recruiters can still bulk-upload candidates in one step.

Can Savos automatically sync candidate reports, interview notes, and assessments back into my ATS (e.g., Workday)?

Yes. Savos pushes candidate reports, screening results, and interview summaries directly into your ATS through native or API-based integrations, ensuring your system of record stays complete and up to date — without extra admin work.

Customization & Role-Specific Flexibility

How customizable is Savos across screening questions, interview flows, and competencies?

Fully customizable.

Recruiters can tailor:

  • Screening questions
  • Video interview questions
  • Competency frameworks
  • JD components
  • Scoring templates
  • Interview objectives
  • Role-specific prompts

Savos adapts to your hiring approach.

Can Savos help assess candidates for values, culture, or organization-specific competencies?

Yes. Savos supports your team in evaluating candidates against the values, cultural attributes, and competencies that matter to your organization.

It does this by:

  • Highlighting relevant areas for interviewers to explore based on the role, JD, and candidate history.
  • During live interviews, it surfaces conversation guidance to help interviewers dig deeper into the traits your team prioritizes.
  • Organizing interviewer notes and feedback in a structured way
  • AI-powered, customizable asynchronous video interviews where candidates can demonstrate their broader knowledge, behavioural strengths, and role-fit indicators.

Savos does not make cultural or values-based decisions on its own.

Instead, it ensures your interviewers have the right context, questions, and structure to evaluate candidates fairly and consistently based on your organization’s standards.

Candidate Experience & Languages

Does Savos support asynchronous video interviews and sharing video clips with hiring managers?

Yes. Candidates can record structured video responses at their own pace. Hiring managers can view, compare, and share clips directly from the dashboard. Savos also scores and summarizes each response for consistent, scalable evaluation.

Does Savos support multiple candidate languages?

Yes. Savos builds on impress.ai’s multilingual capabilities to support a wide range of languages, including Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, German, French, and more. Additional languages are continually being added.

  • Enforcing fullscreen
  • Tracking tab changes
  • Session behavior monitoring

These measures help ensure authenticity in candidate responses.

How does Savos handle data deletion, retention, and privacy for candidates?

Savos supports complete data purging in line with enterprise IT and compliance policies.
If a candidate withdraws or requests deletion, all files, responses, and application data are permanently erased according to your configured retention rules.
