Don't just screen skill, screen coachability

Candidates receive feedback after their first attempt and can re-attempt if you allow it. The ones who read the feedback and adjust their approach in the second take are the ones who grow fast on the job.

The ones who ignore it and repeat the same mistakes? You found that out before you made a hire.

Frequently asked questions

Can candidates complete the interview on mobile?

Yes. Tough Tongue AI runs in any modern browser, no app install required. Candidates can complete their AI interview from a phone, tablet, or desktop.

Is scoring keyword-based or concept-based?

It's concept-based. The AI evaluates whether the candidate demonstrated the underlying competency, not whether they used specific words. This makes scoring consistent and fair across communication styles.

Can I run this without asking candidates to create an account?

Yes. You can share a direct link that candidates open in a browser, optionally protected by a passcode. No sign-up required. You can also use multi-use links for bulk distribution or pre-filled links generated from a Google Sheets template.

What roles can I assess with this?

Any role that requires communication, judgment, or structured thinking. Use Notepad for PM and analyst interviews, Whiteboard for system design or case studies, and Cards to present case documents. The AI adapts to whatever format you configure.

How do I analyze results across many candidates?

The Sessions tab shows timestamps and scores for every candidate. You'll also receive email reports per submission. Export all sessions as CSV for deeper analysis or integration with your ATS.

How long does it take to set up an interview?

About 15 minutes. Open Scenario Studio, describe the role you're hiring for, configure auto-analysis and recording, then share the link. The AI handles everything from there.
