Launching Practice Interviews: Help Your Candidates Shine

At Humanly, our mission has always been to make hiring more fair, efficient, and human-centered. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Practice Interviews powered by Humanly’s AI Interviewers—a new feature designed to help candidates prepare and perform their best when it matters most.

Why Practice Interviews Matter

Interviews are often the most stressful part of the hiring process. Great candidates can underperform simply because they weren’t prepared for the format, questions, or pressure. On the flip side, recruiters want every candidate to have the opportunity to put their best foot forward.

With Humanly Practice Interviews, recruiting teams can now offer candidates a safe practice environment before they meet with a real interviewer.

How It Works

Candidates will be able to complete a practice interview with our AI Avatars, experiencing the same look and feel of a real Humanly interview. Here’s what makes it powerful:

• Realistic AI Interviewers: Our avatars ask questions in natural conversation, mirroring the actual flow of a live interview.
• Real-Time Feedback: During the mock session, candidates receive gentle nudges and guidance on things like pacing, clarity, or filler words.
• Detailed Post-Interview Summary: After the practice interview, candidates get a full breakdown of their performance, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

This means candidates don’t just practice—they learn and grow in a measurable way.

Built on Real-World Data & Proven Science

What makes Humanly’s Practice Interviews unique isn’t just the technology—it’s the science and data behind it.

• We’ve analyzed 4M+ interview interactions, working hand-in-hand with leading recruiters to define the anatomy of a strong interview.

• We partnered with Dr. Katherine Hilton (linguistics) and Dr. Grin Lord (psychology) of mpathic to minimize conversational bias and improve predictive validity.

• This research-backed foundation ensures that our Practice Interviews don’t just help candidates feel more confident—they help recruiters get clearer, more accurate signals from every interaction.

Benefits for Recruiting Teams

Recruiters and hiring managers benefit, too:

• Stronger Candidate Pool: More prepared candidates perform better in real interviews, leading to clearer signals and better hiring decisions.
• Improved Candidate Experience: Offering practice interviews demonstrates a company’s commitment to candidate success and fairness.
• Scalable Preparation: No additional recruiter bandwidth needed—Practice Interviews run entirely on Humanly’s AI Interviewers.
  

A More Confident Candidate Experience

By giving candidates access to preparation, feedback, and growth, Humanly Practice Interviews ensure that nerves don’t get in the way of talent. Recruiters get stronger signals, and candidates walk into real interviews with confidence.

This launch marks another step in Humanly’s journey to create tools that make hiring more effective and equitable—while keeping the human at the center of every decision.
