For candidates

Being interviewed with Itya? Here is what happens to your words.

Some employers use Itya to run and record their interviews. This page explains, in plain language, what it records, what its AI does and does not do, and the rights you keep.

Who is responsible for my interview?

The employer. They run the interview, choose the questions and make the hiring decision. Itya is the tool they use, and it handles your information on their behalf and on their instructions.

Will I know before anything is recorded?

Yes. You are told before recording starts. Depending on the employer’s settings and the law where you are, you are either asked to agree or shown a notice. If you would rather not be recorded, tell the recruiter before the interview.

What is recorded?

The interview conversation, a written transcript of it, and the notes and ratings your interviewers submit. Your résumé, if you sent one, is read so interviewers can prepare.

What does the AI do?

It writes the transcript and drafts notes and a scorecard against the job’s written rubric, quoting what you actually said, so interviewers judge your answers rather than their memory of them.

What does the AI not do?

It does not read your face, your emotions, your tone of voice or how “confident” you sound. It never rejects a candidate automatically. The hiring decision is made by people at the employer.

Who sees my interview?

The people the employer has placed on the hiring team for that job. Itya staff access it only to support the employer or to keep the service secure.

How long is it kept?

The employer sets how long interview records are kept, within the limits of the law. Their privacy notice or the recruiter can tell you.

Can I get a copy, or have it deleted?

Yes. You can request a copy or deletion of your data, and you can always ask the employer directly. Itya’s privacy policy explains your rights under India’s DPDP Act, the GDPR and US state laws.

What if I need an adjustment?

Tell the recruiter. Captions, extra time, a different format, or a person instead of an automated step are reasonable requests, and asking should never count against you.

Doing well in a structured interview

  • Structured interviews ask every candidate the same core questions, so you are compared on the job, not on small talk.
  • Answer with a real example: the situation, what you did, and what happened. Specifics are what interviewers can score.
  • It is fine to ask for a question to be repeated, or to take a moment before answering.
  • You can ask which skills the interview is assessing. A well-run process will tell you.
