Frequently asked questions
How do you hire and interview marketing managers?
Ask for proof. Hello Recruiter runs a conversational screen that asks how each result was measured, an assessment on channel data and situational judgment, and a take-home launch deck that the AI reviews slide by slide before a spoken follow-up on the candidate's choices.
How does AI review a marketing take-home deck?
The AI opens the candidate's deck, reviews every slide, pins strengths and gaps, for example a budget weighted toward the weakest channel in the data, and then asks follow-up questions about those exact slides. See how take-home assignments work.
How does Hello Recruiter detect cheating or misrepresentation?
Every round is monitored for integrity signals such as résumé results that don't match interview answers, a second voice or a second screen, and answers or work pasted from outside the workspace. Each signal is timestamped in the candidate's integrity report, and claims are cross-checked across rounds.
What does the hiring team get after each round?
A report for every round: an AI score out of 100, evaluation criteria marked Met, Not met or Not yet evaluated, skills rated Very strong, Strong, Weak or Very weak, a risk level, and any fraud signals with timestamps. Hello Recruiter evaluates; the hiring team decides.
Does Hello Recruiter only interview engineers?
No. Hello Recruiter runs interviews for every role, tech and non-tech: engineering, product, sales, marketing, customer success and more, using conversations, live coding, vibe coding, role-plays, take-homes, assessments and system design.
